The Effect of Distributed Leadership on Teacher Efficacy in China: A Moderated Mediation Model

Meechai Orsuwan — 2024-05-30

The objective of this research was to analyze the moderated mediating effect of teachers' job satisfaction on the relationship between distributed leadership and teachers' self-efficacy in China. The data were from the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018) collected by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) by using a stratified two-stage sampling method. The sample consisted of 3,976 teachers from 198 Chinese schools. The research instrument was a likert scale questionnaire consisting of 33 items with
a reliability range between .70 and .94. A moderated mediation analysis was employed using PROCESS version 4.0. The findings revealed that the controlling for teachers’ characteristics such as gender, teaching experience, hours spent on professional development, hours spent on teamwork with others, and hours spent on administrative work. The teacher’s job satisfaction moderated the influence of distributed leadership on teachers’ self-efficacy both directly (b = .05) and indirectly (b = .02) with statistically significance at the .05 level. In other words when teachers were satisfied with their jobs, the influence of distributed leadership on teachers’ self-efficacy increased accordingly.

The Proactive Identification of Impoverished Households Based on Civil Society Process for Comprehensive and Accurate Approaches to Combat Poverty in Tha Li District, Loei Province

Weeranuch Yamyim — 2024-05-30

This research article aimed to present the results process of proactively searching for impoverished households using the civil society process to lead to a complete and accurate solution to the poverty problem at the Tha Li district, Loei Province. Data was then analyzed based on the Sustainable Livelihood Framework. The main objective of this study was to support the development of a poverty data system, integrate existing datasets, track aid efforts in Loei, analyze impoverished household data, and foster area-based developmental mechanisms to combat poverty in Tha Li District, Loei Province. This undertaking employed survey research alongside Participatory Action Research (PAR), engaging a group of 560 impoverished households.

The results of this research showed that: 1) Data verification resulted in a remaining count of 306 households by civil society process. Furthermore, 153 newly identified impoverished households were surveyed, summing up to 459 by civil society process and impoverished households. 2) The data analysis, guided by the Sustainable Livelihood Framework revealed that across five dimensions of household potential in Tha Li District that the highest score was attributed to human capital (2.48) followed by physical capital (2.43), economic capital (2.02), natural capital (1.87), and the lowest score in social capital (1.76). As a result, the working group has outlined comprehensive approaches to combat poverty classifying the impoverished households into 2 groups. The first group contained working-age households which were assisted with the poverty alleviation initiative called “Economic Thrives, Enrich Lives with Bamboo”. The second group consisted of elderly or vulnerable households assisted with strategies to enhance their quality of life through collaborative network efforts.

Determinants of Tontine Demand in Thailand

Sunti Tirapat — 2024-05-30

Thailand has currently entered an aging society. Due to medical advances, most elderly individuals do not in the pension system that are increasingly facing longevity risk. A tontine is a financial instrument that can mitigate the risk of inadequate savings in the event of unexpectedly longer lifespans. This study examines the factors that play a crucial role in determining the demand for tontines based on a survey and hypothetical questions of 452 respondents conducted in six provinces in Thailand, it is documented that age, risk tolerance and the health of respondents are key determinants of tontine demand. More importantly, the results indicate a positive association between preferences in gambling and financial literacy with the demand for tontines. The findings suggested that the demand for tontines aligns with the hedging of longevity risk. Moreover, tontine can serve as an alternative to conventional savings for individuals who prefer gambling, given that tontine returns exhibit a significantly positive skew akin to gambling outcomes. Further, analysis revealed that the interaction term of low financial literacy and a preference for gambling was positively associated with the demand. This suggests that low financial literacy may contribute to an additional bias in gambling. However, it does not find that financial constraints affect the demand for tontine. This finding is inconsistent with the notion that prize-linked saving products are preferred by those facing financial constraints whose saving incentives are to change their financial status rather than focusing solely on retirement security. Overall, understanding the demand for tontines should be beneficial for designing alternative savings products to address the challenges of Thai aging society. However, these findings are still preliminary; a more rigorous study should be conducted in future research.

The Development of Executive Functions for Autistic Children: Impairment, Principles, and Development

Burachart Siripeng — 2024-05-30

This academic article aimed to present the development of executive functions for Autistic children which caused by an abnormality of the brain. The abnormality is characterized by impairment in using language in communication, social interaction and emotional developmental delay together with narrow or repetitive interests. There are 2 important skill groups and their 3 sub-skills. The first one is basic function; working memory, inhibitory control, and shift/cognitive flexibility another skill group is self-control functions; focus attention, emotional control, and self-monitoring. All executive functions rely on supportive principles, for example, opportunities, suitable surroundings, and positive disciplines through different activities. Parents and teachers should motivate autistic children in all dimensions to progress their 6 basic executive functions. There are 6 developmental approaches; 1) Dividing their working steps into smaller steps to enhance their memory skill, 2) Creating different situations for them to confront to practice their inhibitory control, 3) Practicing them to set backup plans to expand their cognitive flexibility, 4) Using daily activity schedules or work box systems to practice their initiative and action skills, 5) Instructing them to practice planning, organizing, and predicting the outcomes by setting methods and 6) Practicing their self-monitoring to drill news reporting that links to their real-life or to play games with rules. All activities should include focusing attention and emotional control so that autistic children will possess the functions required in their daily life with higher capabilities to learn academic lessons at school.

Talismans: The Creation of a New Economic Trend

Khanin Phriwanrat — 2024-05-30

Talisman academic article: Talismans and creating a new economy. The objective was to study the concept of creating talismans in the past and talismans in the past 5 years (2018-2023) by using the creative economy concept and the circular economy business model (BCG Model) as part of Thailand's new economic concept as a framework for the study. It was found that Talisman in the past used storytelling marketing. Storytelling marketing and talismans today also leverage that cultural cost to reach new audiences through storytelling marketing. In addition, talismans in the past were used in the sharing economy and the economics of donations. As for talismans today (2018-2023), the concept of the green economy has begun to be used as an issue in creating talismans. This makes the talisman not only have faith. Talismans can also answer the objectives of the circular economy business model in three aspects: social, economic and environmental which is one of the mechanisms for sustainable national development.
