The Development of a Model for Reduce Using Chemicals for the Environment of Students at Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi

Abstract

This research aimed to develop the model of chemical substance consumption quantity reduction for environment of Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi students. The research used mixed methods for study and development. The research areas consisted of 4 area centers such as PhraNakhon Si Ayutthaya Han Tra Center, PhraNakhon Si Ayutthaya Wasukri Center, Nonthaburi Center and SuphanBuri Center. The research is creating and development of the model of chemical consumption quantity reduction for environment. The experts were purposively selected from 10 model and chemical for environment experts for creating and development and 9 chemical and environmental experts for evaluating the model by using model evaluation forms. Then make revision of the model and execute following the model.

The research results revealed that developing the model of chemical substance consumption quantity reduction for environment of Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi Students indicated that the model was created from environmental concept, the reduction of chemical substance consumption and learning theory and had components as follows; 1) the principle of model to apply sustainable environmental knowledge to integrate with 2R 3P principle such as Reduce, Replace, Plan, Participation and Practice, 2) The utilization of workshop in Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi was providing knowledge, learning exchange and practice taking three days for intensive training, 3) the media and lecturers for learning were set for 6 learning units and 4) the evaluation applying quantitative and participatory evaluation for knowledge, behavior and awareness after training showed that the model had the quality at the high level (= 4.50, S.D. = 0.51).
