This research aimed to study the results of collaborative project-based learning by students studying the training technique course to conduct training programs for older adults in state home care in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The population consisted of 40 undergraduate students from different faculties and years. The instruments used for data collection consisted of the lesson plan of the training technique course, student behavior form, journal form after teaching, student products, student reflection journals, the questionnaire to gauge the level of satisfaction of students, writing and presenting reflections on students’ learning, and training evaluation based on the level of satisfaction of the older adults. The research separated students into two groups based on different faculties, each group was composed of 20 students, and they could learn better in a small group. Data were analyzed by using content analysis, statistical calculation, and percentage, and were presented in the form of a description and table. The findings showed the results of the collaborative project-based learning to train students for conducting training projects for older adults successful. The students had a change in their attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, skills, and experience in conducting training, their satisfaction showed at the highest level (97.50%). Students were satisfied with the project-based learning at the highest level (90%), and especially the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience from conducting training programs at the highest level (95%). The older adults’ satisfaction from participating in two training programs conducted by the students was at the highest level (100%) too.

This research aimed to: develop a model for vocational instructors’ acceptance of online instruction after they had arranged online instruction for one year; and investigate the consistency of this model using the empirical evidence gained from 1,818 vocational instructors from five regions in Thailand: the Northern Region, the Northeastern Region, the Central Region, the Eastern Region and Bangkok, and the Southern Region. The research instrument used to collect the data was a questionnaire on the vocational instructors’ acceptance of online instruction. The data were analysed using construct validity and the consistency of the causal relationship model. The research findings revealed that social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the vocational instructors’ adjusted attitudes towards online instruction for the better. This adjustment directly affected some changes in the instructors’ behaviour in physical classroom instruction to online instruction in the following period.   Keywords: online learning, technology acceptance model, vocational education and training

The objectives of this research were 1) to synthesize the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling; 2) to establish the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling; 3) to evaluate the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling. The research methodology was divided into three phases: 1) the documents in the Imagineering process, including the LA-OR model process and the stop motion animation process, were synthesized to establish the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling; 2) a model of early childhood Imagineering was established in order to develop digital storytelling; 3) the suitability of the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling was evaluated. The results showed that the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling consisted of the four following steps: 1) L: Leading to Learn consisted of imagination; 2) A: Active Learning consisted of two factors: Designing and Development; 3) O: Opinion Sharing consisted of Presentation; and 4) R: Reflective Thinking consisted of two factors: Improvement and Evaluation. According to an evaluation from experts, it was shown that the experts strongly agreed on the development model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling.

This research aims to develop online teaching plan through applying gamification. The results reveal learning performance, motivation, and satisfaction of the undergraduate towards the intervention. The sampling group is the undergraduate enrolling in Digital Literacy course in the second semester of the 2020 academic year of 154. The research tools consist of online teaching plan incorporating gamification, achievement test, motivation level evaluation form, and satisfaction survey of the undergraduate with this teaching plan. The results inform that the online teaching plan generates performance according to the specified 80/80 criteria. The learning performance of the undergraduate is significantly higher than that before the implementation of the online teaching plan incorporating gamification at .01. Learning motivation of the undergraduate is significantly different with the statistical level of .01. Also, the undergraduate is highly satisfied with online teaching applying gamification.
