Abstract

This research aims to: 1. Develop a training curriculum based on the concept of mentoring to enhance the ability to organize brain management learning experiences in early childhood for childcare teachers. 2. Study the effects of using the mentoring-based training curriculum to enhance the ability to organize brain management learning experiences in early childhood. The sample group consisted of 30 volunteer childcare teachers from local administrative organization child development centers in Sisaket province. The research instruments included a knowledge test and an evaluation form. The statistics used in the research included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Dependent Samples t-test.

       The research findings were as follows: 1) The mentoring-based training curriculum to enhance the ability to organize brain management learning experiences in early childhood for childcare teachers was found to be highly appropriate overall. The consistency index of the curriculum components ranged from 0.67 to 1.00, with the consistency index of the learning experience plans also ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. The t-statistic was 22.05, with df = 30.     2) The results of the experimental use of a training course to enhance the ability of early childhood educators in managing brain-based learning experiences showed. There is a significant increase in the S.D. score, which is 1.60, after receiving guidance and supervision according to the suggested guidelines, compared to before receiving such guidance, at a statistical significance level of .05. In conclusion, the mentoring-based training curriculum to enhance the ability to organize brain management learning experiences in early childhood for childcare teachers is beneficial for those undergoing the training or utilizing it in organizing brain management learning experiences in early childhood. It is necessary to promote the organization of learning experiences that align with the brain's functioning in a high-quality and continuous manner to enable children to develop to their full potential.
