Looking at Thai Education in Various Dimensions in the 21st Century

Abstract

The study of "New Dimensions of Thai Education in the 21st Century and the Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI)" aims to explore approaches for transforming Thai education to align with technological changes, particularly the application of AI in the educational system. This study employs document analysis and synthesis of concepts from experts in both education and technology.
The findings reveal that Thai education in the 21st century must transition from traditional systems to more open and flexible approaches, incorporating four essential components according to UNESCO's framework: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be. Furthermore, AI plays a crucial role in Thai
educational reform, particularly in developing teaching and learning methods, reducing educational disparities, and creating opportunities for access to quality education. Key findings indicate that the integration of AI technology with Buddhist principles can lead to balanced educational development, emphasizing both intellectual and moral development. However, the implementation of AI in education requires careful consideration of educational personnel preparation to ensure the readiness of teachers, learners, and the educational system in facing digital age challenges.
