Abstract
This research and development aimed to 1) develop a learning management model to enhance reasoning and desirable characteristics in learning labor law of vocational students and 2) to evaluate the developed learning model on using reasoning and desirable characteristics in studying labor law by applying the concepts Self-knowledge creation, reasoning, problem-based learning, and social learning theory. This research was action in the Faculty of Industrial Technology, Nakhon Phanom University and research process included phase 1 was developed model by interviewing 3 teachers, 9 students, also observing 3 labor law classes to assess problems and needs to develop a learning management model and drafting a learning management model according to the prior concepts and information, also quality assessed by 5 experts. Phase 2: Experimenting a model to assess reasoning abilities and desirable qualities in studying labor law subjects. A sample was 13 people enrolled by purposively selected. Research tools included the model outlines, learning plans, and assessments of reasoning and desirable characteristics forms. Data analyzing statistics were used including percentage, mean, and standard deviation, comparing increasingly mean and percentage of learning outcome scores and content analysis.
Research results: The learning management model components consisted of 1. concepts and principle basic theories 2. Objectives 3. Learning management processes 4. Social factors and responses 5. Supporting factors and learning resources 6. Quality assessment and the draft format appropriateness is a high level, and the development this learning management models was applied concepts of self-knowledge creation, reasoning, problem-based learning, and social learning theory, also average evaluated score for 4.3. The draft learning management model trial on enhancing reasoning ability and desirable characteristics in labor law for vocational students was averages scores for 29.6 and 54.4, and representing accounting for 65.9 and 67.9 percent, respectively. The criteria of rubrics scoring in the reasoning ability assessment have been clarified for clearly assessment and more appropriate. This learning model can be applied to students in relevant situations to be more successful and efficient.
