The sample consisted of marketing students from universities in the Bangkok, selected through networking and snowball sampling techniques. Data analysis incorporated 409 fully completed online questionnaires and employed descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, along with inferential statistics such as One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Tests. The findings revealed that students who were studying in different academic years demonstrated overall self-development potential, particularly in specific areas such as competency building, transitioning from individuality to interdependence, and goal development, with statistical significance level of 0.05. Students with varying GPAs showed differences in overall self-development potential and in areas such as competency development, transitioning from individuality to interdependence, maturation of relationship development, identity formation, and moral integrity development, also at the significant level of 0.05. While, the findings supported traditional educational curricula, they may not align with the current educational system which has changed. This leads to policy recommendations for educational institutions in Thailand, particularly in marketing, emphasizing practical implementation and requiring consideration for development. Recommendations include: 1) adopting appropriate teaching and learning approaches to promote and support learning outside the classroom and lifelong learning, 2) establishing a credit accumulation system, and 3) designing a curriculum that can enhance both academic and professional experiences to prepare Thai marketing students as modern marketers.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Suratthani Rajabhat Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/srj/article/view/266634 The Improvement of Learning Skill with BOPPPS Teaching Model in the Intermediate Chinese Language Course at Bhavana Bodhigun Vocational College 2023-07-19T10:59:49+07:00 Chen Junchi ms.chenjunchi@gmail.com Wattana Rattanaprom ms.chenjunchi@gmail.com Narong Buddhichiwin ms.chenjunchi@gmail.com <p>This research objective is to find approaches for improving teaching intermediate Chinese at Bhavana Bodhigun Vocational College. Formerly, Chinese language instruction in Thailand used the PPP teaching model, which was a tradition method and not successful enough. This research developed a new approach to teaching Chinese by applying the BOPPPS model. The aim was to find ways to improve the effectiveness of Chinese language instruction by comparing the BOPPPS model with traditional Chinese teaching methods using the PPP model. The population used in this research consisted of third-year students who chose to take Chinese as an elective course, with a total of 123 students. The sample group consisted of 30 students selected through systematic random sampling, divided into two groups of 15 students each. Group 1 was the experimental group, which received instruction using the BOPPPS model, while the other group, the control group, received traditional PPP instruction. The comparison of the average learning scores of each group using a t-test analysis from the SPSS 24.0 program showed that students who were taught with the BOPPPS model had better learning outcomes than those taught with the PPP model in three skills: listening, speaking, and reading, with statistical significance at the 0.01 level. Meanwhile, students taught with the PPP model had significantly better writing outcomes than those taught with the BOPPPS model at the 0.01 level.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Suratthani Rajabhat Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/srj/article/view/268194 A Casual Model of Technological Leadership Affecting the Management Efficiency of Schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office of Surat Thani and Chumphon 2023-12-06T08:57:06+07:00 Isarapong Kosawida isarapong.ko@hotmail.com Nantapong Milaehman isarapong.ko@hotmail.com Sirisawas Thongkanluang isarapong.ko@hotmail.com <p>The objectives of this study were 1) to examine the existing conditions, desired conditions, and strategies for cultivating technological leadership 2) to construct a Casual Model of Technology Leadership Affecting the Efficiency Administration and 3) to validate the structural accuracy of a Casual Model of Technology Leadership Affecting the Efficiency Administration.

The sample consisted of 420 Thai tourists who visited Phatthalung under this slogan, selected through quota and accidental sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient ranging from 0.90 to 0.94, distributed to tourists after their visits. Data were analyzed using LISREL 8.80 software. The study model included three latent variables contributing to tourist loyalty: tourism image, perceived travel value, and tourist satisfaction. The findings indicated that tourism image, perceived travel value, and tourist satisfaction had direct effect on tourist loyalty, with coefficients of 0.23, 0.42, and 0.29, respectively. Indirect factors influencing tourist loyalty included tourism image and perceived travel value, with coefficients of 0.26 and 0.21, respectively. In terms of the knowledge found, perceived travel value was the most significant factor driving tourist loyalty, suggesting that tourists’ sense of value and worthiness of their experience fosters loyalty. It is recommended that relevant agencies and entrepreneurs collaborate to develop a cohesive tourism image and enhance the value of tourism experiences to ensure tourist satisfaction, which leads to tourist loyalty.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Suratthani Rajabhat Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/srj/article/view/264694 The Tourist Capacity and Valuing Recreation of Naka Cave, Phu Langka National Park 2023-07-18T11:31:24+07:00 Pornpimon Saengchat saengchat1010@gmail.com Sakkarin Nonthapot saengchat1010@gmail.com <p>The objectives of this study were to: 1) examine the capacity to accommodate tourists of Naka Cave, Phu Langka Natiponal Park, and 2) evaluate its recreational use value of Naka Cave, Phu Langka National Park. A mixed-methods approach was employed, using a concurrent parallel design. Data collection included in-depth interviews with 14 key informants to analyze the capacity to accommodate tourists and questionnaires distributed to 420 respondents to evaluate recreational use value using the Poisson Regression Model. Questionnaires were distributed and collected directly by the researcher. The findings revealed that: 1) The physical capacity to accommodate tourists for recreational activities was 118 people per round, with a total capacity of 944 people per day, divided into eight rounds. However, challenges were identified, including an insufficient number of bathrooms due to restrictions on permanent construction within the park area, and travel obstacles requiring visitors to walk and navigate stairs, natural paths, and rope-supported sections. 2) Most Thai tourists visited due to their belief in the Nagas. The recreational use value in 2022 was estimated at a consumer surplus of 5,758 THB per person per round, generating a total annual value of 1,346,220,400 THB from 233,800 Thai tourists. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the government: 1) implement policies to regulate and limit the number of tourists to a maximum of 944 per day, divided into eight rounds, with each group spending no more than 15 minutes in the area and clearly defined starting times for walking; 2) introduce additional fees in certain areas to support the restoration and conservation of natural resources. This should include enhancing accessibility for the elderly and promoting belief-based tourism routes to connect nearby areas.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Suratthani Rajabhat Journal https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/srj/article/view/267315 Guideline for Developing the Potential of Container Terminal Operators in Surat Thani Province 2023-08-18T11:32:56+07:00 Sriwalee Thongliamnak sriwalee.ton@sru.ac.th Charin Chawang sriwalee.ton@sru.ac.th Pongwit Inmai sriwalee.ton@sru.ac.th <p>This qualitative research aimed to 1) study activities in container terminal operators in Surat Thani Province; 2) analyze capabilities of container terminal operators in Surat Thani; and 3) develop the capabilities of container terminal operators in Surat Thani.
