Abstract
This study aimed to study the scenario of doctor of philosophy in Brain, mind and learning curriculum during the next decade (B.E. 2567 – 2577), utilizing the Ethnographic Delphi Futures Research (EDFR) technique. The participants comprised seven experts in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and educational psychology. The research instruments included
a questionnaire and a interview questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that the future scenarios of the curriculum obtained from the EDFR interviews with seven experts were highly consensus and feasibility (Mdn = 5.00, IR = 1). The experts identified eight key dimensions that the future curriculum should consist of interdisciplinary integration, learner-centered pedagogy, diverse assessment methods, interdisciplinary expertise, learner support systems, facilities and infrastructure, and socially responsive outcomes. Accordingly, it was proposed that the curriculum be renamed “Cognitive Psychology and Brain Science,” with 48 credits, including 9 credits of compulsory courses, 3 credits of electives, and 36 credits of dissertation. The content emphasizes the integration of psychology, neuroscience, research, and assessment to meet future educational and societal demands.
