Nantiwan Wongthongchan — 2026-03-31

This research aimed to study 1) to develop and evaluate the quality of a curriculum to enhance mathematical creativity using activity-based learning for grade 3 students, and 2) to study the results of implementing this curriculum. The sample consisted of 13 grade 3 students from Ban Den School during the second semester of the 2025 academic year, obtained through cluster random sampling. The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included: 1) the curriculum, 2) an implementation manual, and 3) a subjective mathematical creativity test (IOC 0.80-1.00, reliability 0.92). Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The research results were found as follows;

1) The developed curriculum comprised seven components: rationale, curricular aims, structure, content, instructional activities, media and learning resources, and measurement and evaluation. The content included three learning units: "Mental Math Market," "Little Surveyors," and "Creative Geometric City." Experts evaluated both the curriculum (= 4.53, S.D. = 0.54) and the manual (= 4.56, S.D. = 0.54) as highly appropriate at the highest level. 2) After implementing the curriculum, students’ mathematical creativity scores significantly increased at the .05 level. Furthermore, 100% of the students successfully achieved the required 70% proficiency criterion.

Development and Effectiveness of an Online Course for Instructional Management in Thai for Academic Communication

Suttheera Kumboonruang — 2026-03-31

This study aimed to develop an online course on the KPRU MOOC platform for the course Thai for Academic Communication and to examine the effects of implementing the KPRU MOOC–based online learning on teaching and learning outcomes in the course. A mixed methods research design was employed, consisting of two phases. Phase 1 was the development phase, which applied the ADDIE instructional design model integrated with Active Learning and Self-paced Learning principles. Phase 2 was the implementation phase, which utilized a quasi-experimental research design. The experimental group consisted of students enrolled in two course sections (6714203 and 6712207) at Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University who studied through the MOOC system. The research instruments included a learning achievement test and a student satisfaction questionnaire.

The findings revealed that the developed online course consisted of nine instructional units delivered through the KPRU MOOC platform. Each unit included instructional videos, interactive lessons, online exercises, discussion forums, and formative assessments. The course quality was evaluated by three experts in Thai language, educational technology, and educational measurement, and it met all established quality criteria. The implementation results indicated that students’ learning achievement improved after participating in the online course. Additionally, student satisfaction with the online learning experience was rated at a high level. For further development, the study suggests incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance instructional media design and increase learner engagement.

Synthesis of Research on Thai Language Teaching: Trends in Developing Learners' Key Competencies

Tachat Songsri — 2026-03-31

This study aimed to (1) synthesize bodies of knowledge derived from research on Thai language instruction that focuses on competency development, and (2) propose research and development trends in Thai language teaching that emphasize the cultivation of learners’ key competencies. The study involved a review and analysis of 84 research studies related to Thai language instruction conducted between 2014 and 2024, drawn from nine universities. The synthesis results indicate that most studies primarily focused on developing competencies in thinking and communication, which are fundamental skills for learning and are aligned with national and international educational frameworks such as PISA and O-NET. Secondary emphasis was placed on the development of problem-solving competencies and life skills, whereas competencies related to the use of technology were scarcely addressed in the reviewed research:

Regarding instructional approaches, the findings reveal the application of a wide range of theories and concepts, including constructivist learning theory, problem-based learning, and cooperative learning. In addition, various instructional techniques were employed to enhance Thai language learning, such as STAD, CIRC, and the jigsaw technique. These approaches support active engagement in deep learning and promote knowledge sharing among learners. Overall, the findings reflect a future trend in the development of Thai language instruction that should prioritize the integration of diverse competencies, particularly the integration of technological competencies and life skills, as these are essential components of 21st-century skills that enhance learners’ capacity for learning, adaptability, and balanced living in a digital society.

These factors could predict the happy workplace by 60.50% with statistical significance at the .05 level.

“If the teacher comes to my house, I will kill the teacher and feed him to the chickens”: Radio Tales as a Medium for Developing Listening Skills to Enhance Understanding of Thai Sentence Structure Sequencing among Ethnic Students in Nan Province Who Are Non-Native Thai Speakers

Chawapan Pettkrai — 2026-03-31

This study examines the challenges related to Thai sentence structure among ethnic minority students in Nan Province, Thailand, whose first languages are not Thai. It also explores the potential of community-broadcast radio folktales as an instructional medium for enhancing learners’ understanding of Thai syntactic order. Findings indicate that early primary students from the Lua, Hmong, Mien, and Mlabri groups commonly struggle with sentence sequencing, particularly in constructions involving serial verbs and negative structures. These difficulties arise from the syntactic patterns of their native languages, which differ substantially from Thai, leading to unfamiliarity and confusion when encountering the Thai linguistic system. As a result, the students tend to exhibit low performance on national standardized assessments. The study further reveals that radio folktales disseminated through village loudspeaker systems effectively improve students’ listening comprehension of Thai sentence patterns. Because these folktales are culturally familiar and widely recognized within the communities, they function both as pedagogical materials and as supplementary listening resources outside the classroom. The program comprises five components: 1) an introductory segment, 2) a storytelling segment, 3) a vocabulary-building segment, 4) a sentence-ordering practice segment, and 5) a concluding moral message. The use of radio folktales therefore represents a promising and culturally responsive approach for strengthening ethnic minority students’ communicative abilities and foundational Thai literacy skills.
