Development of Enrichment Curriculum Based on an Instructional Coaching Approach to Promote the Ability to Write a Learning Experience Plan for Student Teachers

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop an enrichment curriculum based on an instructional coaching approach to promote the ability to write a learning experience plan for student teachers; and 2) study the effectiveness of an enrichment curriculum based on an instructional coaching approach to promote the ability to write a learning experience plan for student teachers. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample, which included 42 early childhood education students from Silpakorn University's Faculty of Education who were enrolled in the Early Childhood Education Program during the 2022 academic year. For the One-Shot Case Study, research and development methodologies (R&D) were used. The data was collected through the evaluation form of the Learning Experience Plans. Percentages (%), means (x), standard deviation (S.D.), and content analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed the following: 1) enrichment curriculum based on an instructional coaching approach to promote student teachers' ability to write a learning experience plan that includes seven components: (1) enrichment curriculum principals and rationale; (2) objectives; (3) curriculum structure, (4) duration; (5) instructional procedures, (6) materials, and (7) evaluation. 2) After using the enrichment curriculum, student teachers have the ability to write Learning Experience Plans at a good level (x = 4.11, S.D. = 0.42).
