Teaching Models for Developing 21st Century Learning Skills in Pre-service Teachers

Karantharak Vitaya-apibalkul — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The 21^st century skills (3R8Cs) are widely acknowledged in educational circles for their profound impact on learners' ability to think critically, act effectively, solve problems, and coexist harmoniously within society. Consequently, the development of pre-service teachers for the 21^st century, as future drivers of education, is of paramount importance. The teaching model, which serves as a mechanism for achieving learning outcomes, integrates three instructional techniques and methods: 1) the 5P technique, 2) play-based learning, and 3) research methodology and project-based approaches. These components converge to form the BOAT Model, which comprises four key elements: laying the Basic of Thought, cultivating an Open Mind, demonstrating behavior leading to the Achievement of Goals, and Overcoming Threats from both internal and external factors. This comprehensive approach equips pre-service teachers with the knowledge, skills, and characteristics of 21^st century learners, enabling them to effectively nurture and develop their future students.

Pearawach Sringern, Nuanjid Chaowakeratipong, Tweesak Chindanurak — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The purposes of this research were to: 1) compare the pre-learning and post-learning scientific explanation ability of grade 6 students who learned through inquiry instruction together with scaffolding technique, and 2) compare the analytical thinking ability of grade 6 students who learned through inquiry instruction together with scaffolding technique. Research design was a one group pretest - posttest. The population were 72 grade 6 students in 4 classrooms at opportunity expansion network school group in Mae Mo district Lampang province who studied in the academic year 2024. The research sample consisted of one intact classroom of 14 grade 6 students in Sobpadwittaya school which is part of the group of opportunity expansion network school obtained by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) 4 lesson plans based on inquiry instruction together with scaffolding technique in the topic of electricity for 18 hours, 2) a scientific explanation ability evaluation form, and 3) an analytical thinking ability evaluation form. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and sign test. The research findings showed that 1) the scientific explanation ability of grade 6 students after learning through the inquiry instruction together with scaffolding technique was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level of significance, and 2) the analytical thinking ability scores of grade 6 students after learning through the inquiry instruction together with scaffolding technique was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level of significance.

The objectives of this research were 1) to evaluate the Community Vocational Training Center Program in the Vocational Classroom Format of schools under the Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Office of Learning Encouragement through the evaluation of satisfaction, learning, job behaviors, and training outcomes; and 2) to study guidelines for development of the program operation. The 60 informants for the evaluation consisted of 55 trainees, and 5 training teachers. In addition, the 5 experts provided information on the development guidelines of the program operation The research tools consisted of (1) a questionnaire on satisfaction with the training; (2) an evaluation form assessing the trainees’ knowledge, understanding, skills, abilities, and work performance; (3) a set of focus group discussion questions regarding the application of acquired knowledge in the daily life; (4) a set of focus group discussion questions regarding the outcomes experienced by the trainees; and (5) a semi-structured interview form concerning guidelines for development of the program operation. The data were analyzed using the percentage, mean and standard deviation and content analysis. The research findings revealed that 1) the evaluation results of the program by trainees in all five programs were as follows: trainee satisfaction was at the highest level; trainee learning outcomes were at a very good level; the results of behavioral assessment indicated that the training led to changes in participants' behavior: initiating product creation to reduce expenses; developing household production into products for sale, and utilizing their free time productively; the evaluation of outcomes indicated that the trainees demonstrated skills and the ability to create products and expand their business, and to extend their products to the community; and 2) as for the guidelines for program development, it was found that (1) there should be an adjustment of the allocation of flexible and sufficient budgets; (2) there should provide programs that are truly based on the interests of the community; (3) there should be the promotion of long-term monitoring; and (4) there should be a transformation of the program targets, with a focus on both production and product sales.
