Abstract

This research aimed to 1) analyze the readiness of student teachers at Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage to adapt according to the BANI World concept, 2) compare the levels of adaptability readiness based on gender, and 3) propose guidelines for developing student teachers to prepare for the BANI World. The sample consisted of 140 student teachers, selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a four-point Likert scale questionnaire with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of .904. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test for independent samples


The results showed that 1) the overall readiness of student teachers at Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage to adapt to the BANI World concept was at a relatively high level (equation = 3.05, SD = .33); 2) there was no significant difference in adaptability readiness based on gender (t = .327, p = .744); and 3) five key guidelines were suggested for preparing student teachers for the BANI World, including: (1) developing adaptability and change management skills, (2) promoting technological and digital learning skills, (3) enhancing collaboration and empathy, (4) fostering creative thinking to design effective teaching approaches, and (5) raising awareness of ethics and social responsibility.
