Management Model using Participatory Management Process to Develop Student Care System of Rajaprachanukroh School 56, Nan Province

Suphang Santhuankaew — 2026-09-01

The research entitled “Developing a Participatory Management Model to Improve the Student Care and Support System at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province” aims to: 1) study the problems and needs in implementing student care and support; 2) create a participatory management model to improve the student care and support system; 3) test the participatory management model to improve the student care and support system; and 4) evaluate the participatory management model to improve the student care and support system at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province. The research was conducted in four steps: Step 1: Studying the problems and needs through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 12 participants. The tools used were in-depth interview guides and focus group discussion guides. Step 2: Developing the management model, which included: 1) Designing and drafting the model, with 5 experts reviewing its effectiveness and confirming its development; and 2) Checking the suitability of the model's user manual with 9 qualified experts. The tool used was an evaluation form for the accuracy and suitability of the model. Step 3: Testing the model… The target group included 4 school administrators, 81 teachers and educational personnel, 13 members of the basic education school committee, and 263 parents. The tools used were questionnaires for pilot testing the model and Step 4: evaluating the management model. The sample group included 85 teachers and educational personnel, 13 members of the basic education school committee, 263 students from grades 4 to 12, and 263 parents. The tools used were questionnaires on satisfaction with the model. Qualitative data was analyzed through data classification and systematization. Quantitative data was analyzed using computer software. Frequency distribution data was analyzed using the mean and standard deviation. The results showed that the research on a participatory management model to develop a student care and support system at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province, revealed that the initial problems stemmed from a lack of systematic management, unclear policies and vision, and outdated student data due to a lack of community participation and excessive teacher workloads. The main obstacle was the discontinuity in data screening and information collection. The researchers therefore developed a participatory management model consisting of five key components: principles and concepts, objectives, process model, implementation guidelines, and evaluation that comprehensively covers students, educational institutions, and the community. The overall suitability evaluation was rated as very high, and the overall appropriateness evaluation was rated as high. When the model was piloted, it was found to be highly effective, consistent with the satisfaction evaluation results of teachers and educational personnel, school committees, parents, and students, which were also rated as very high.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Cognitivist Learning: Learning Outcomes, Approaches, and Possibilities

Dararat Khampeng — 2026-09-01

This study investigated the influence of artificial intelligence on expected learning outcomes and examined its integration within cognitivist learning frameworks. The participants comprised 121 undergraduates enrolled in the Introduction to Political Science course at the School of Political and Social Sciences, University of Phayao.
The research utilised a structured questionnaire for data collection, and the data were analysed using inferential statistics, specifically the T-test and F-test. The results revealed no statistically significant differences (p > .05) in learning outcomes with respect to either the number of hours students engaged with artificial intelligence or the use of different platforms. Similarly, the adoption of ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Grammarly did not yield significant variations in learning outcomes consistent with cognitivist principles. These findings indicate that artificial intelligence alone cannot substitute for cognitive processes or social interactions. Nevertheless, based on the discussion of the research findings in conjunction with the review of relevant literature, artificial intelligence demonstrates potential to function as a supportive tool or a cognitive catalyst for cognitivist learning. This potential can be realized when artificial intelligence is appropriately integrated with critically designed pedagogical approaches and the promotion of active classroom engagement.

Enhancing Active Learning in Markov Model Studies with QM for Windows V5: A Case Study on Innovation and Industrial Business Information Management

Wasukree Sangpom — 2026-09-01

A learner-centered approach that promotes active engagement through analytical thinking, experimentation, and real-world application, supported by technological tools, plays a crucial role in developing higher-order cognitive skills, particularly in complex mathematical domains such as Markov models. This study aimed (1) to explore students’ learning experiences in studying Markov models using QM for Windows V5, and (2) to propose guidelines for enhancing technology-supported active learning processes in higher education. This qualitative study adopted
a phenomenological research design to capture in-depth learning experiences. The participants were three third-year undergraduate students in Innovation and Industrial Business Information Management, selected through purposive selection. Data were collected through unstructured interviews, field notes, and reflective learning records, and were analyzed concurrently using content and interpretative analysis. The trustworthiness of the data was ensured through triangulation and member checking.

The findings revealed that students were able to effectively perform fundamental operations using QM for Windows V5, including data input, parameter configuration, and initial state setting for Markov model analysis. Through self-directed learning, peer collaboration, and instructor support, students developed the ability to construct, analyze, and predict state transitions, leading to a deeper conceptual understanding of Markov processes. The software also facilitated meaningful connections between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. Furthermore, the study proposes key approaches to enhancing active learning through technology, including problem-based learning design, collaborative discussion, conceptual synthesis, multimedia integration, and the development of learning communities. These findings provide both pedagogical and practical implications for improving technology-enhanced learning in higher education contexts.

Watchara Watanarawee — 2026-09-01

This research has objectives to study the impacts of the double-track railway project Den Chai–Chiang Khong on local areas and communities in Chiang Rai Province and to propose appropriate adaptation approaches, including strategies for development of the province's competitiveness capability. By using qualitative research methodology from group discussions with communities nearby all 11 stations in Chiang Rai Province area, in areas along the railway route Den Chai–Chiang Khong in Chiang Rai Province, interviews with community leaders in each community, and organizing forums with related agencies. Data were analyzed by using content analysis principles, interpreted and linked with objectives.

Research findings found that in the construction phase, communities received environmental impacts such as flooding, dust, and road damage, including social problems from migrant labor, but positive economic effects also occurred from workers' spending. In the long term, communities are concerned about accessibility to commercial areas around stations and noise pollution. However, the areas have high potential in cultural tourism, agriculture, and OTOP products. Adaptation approaches should cover personnel development in services, language, and logistics, value creation for agricultural products and OTOP through processing and E-commerce, as well as conservation of wisdom and local identity for community strength. The research also proposes a strategic framework with 4 main pillars: development of smart logistics system, promotion of seamless tourism, elevation of community economy, and urban planning with personnel development, all of which must be implemented in parallel with solving current problems and proactive planning, to create inclusive and sustainable growth for Chiang Rai Province.
