Abstract
The research, “aimed to develop a curriculum to promote lifelong learning skills for working adults transitioning to Smart Factories”. The specific objectives were: 1) to investigate the challenges, feasibility, and impacts of transforming workplaces and workforce into Smart Factories; 2) to create an innovative lifelong learning curriculum to enhance the learning skills of working adults; and 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of a reskilling/upskilling program delivered through innovative learning management processes. The target group consisted of 256 working adults in industrial sectors from Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces, Nakhon Ratchasima provinces, Chiang Mai provinces, and Bangkok. Research instruments included interviews to assess challenges, feasibility, and impacts; a reskilling/upskilling curriculum delivered through innovative learning management processes; and pre- and post-training tests. Data analysis involved calculating means, standard deviations, and conducting paired t-tests. The results showed a significant difference in scores before and after the intervention, with post-intervention scores being higher. This suggests that the reskilling/upskilling curriculum delivered through innovative learning management processes was effective in enhancing the skills of working adults in the participating industrial sectors.
