Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs for developing a new normal in Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to promote creativity of pre-service teachers studying in southern Rajabhat universities. The study samples consisted of: 1) 368 student teachers enrolled in the Faculty of Education at five Rajabhat universities in the southern region of Thailand and 2) 15 educational personnel, including administrators, teachers, and educational technology officers. The undergraduate students were selected by means of the Krejcie and Morgan sample size table while all the educational personnel were chosen by the purposive sampling. Research instrument was a needs assessment questionnaire, and the data were statistically analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Modified Priority Need Index (PNI modified).
The results revealed that the students’ total average scores for actual and desirable states were at the moderate level (= 3.01, S.D. = 0.31). The highest level (
= 4.84, S.D. = 0.37), respectively. The PNIModified was 0.45 – 0.64, indicating a critical need for development. Additionally, for administrators, teachers, and educational technology officers, their total average score for the actual state was at the high level (
= 3.76, S.D. = 0.50), while the desirable state was at the highest level (
= 4.91, S.D. = 0.29). The PNIModified was 0.18 – 0.36, which was a critical need for development.
