The development of instructional model according to the contemplative education to develop the discipline of students in Phrapariyattidhamma schools, generaleducation division
Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to 1) study the factors of discipline of secondary school students, 2) develop instructional model according to the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students, and 3) study the results of the instructional model using to the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students. The research procedure consisted of 3 phases as follows; Phase 1: Study the factors of discipline of secondary school students, The sample of this study consisted of 840 Matthayomsuksa 1 students in the first semester of academic year 2013, from 12 groups nationwide of General Education Division, Phrapariyattidhamma Schools under the Sangha Supreme Council, National Office of Buddhism, defined by the rule of structural equation model analysis using multistage random sampling. The tools used to collect the data were an interview schedule and a five-rating scale questionnaire with the reliability level at 0.94. The data were collected by Booklet Matrix Sampling. The statistics for data analysis were to find reliability of the questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis by using LISREL program version 9.10 with activation code: 6EC5-311D-BBB9-57CD. Phase 2: Develop instructional model according to the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students. Five experts checked the appropriateness and feasibility of the developed model in phase 1, including the results of the synthesis of the concept and related theories. The results found that the developed model was appropriate and had the feasibility to be used in the development of the discipline of secondary school students. Phase 3: Study the results of the instructional model using the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students. The experimental research methodology was carried out by the time-series design. The samples of this research were 50 Matthayomsuksa 1 students in the second semester of academic year 2013 of Mahavajiralongkornrajavidyalaya School derived from multistage random sampling. Simple random sampling was used to divide students into 2 groups, 25 in a control group and 25 in an experimental group. The study lasted 6 weeks. The data were collected by disciplinary test and students behavior observation form. The statistics for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and Repeated Measures One-Way ANOVA for hypothesis test. The results were as follows: 1. The discipline was composed of 5 factors as follows: duty discipline, self discipline, public discipline, lay person and novice discipline and novice discipline. The construct validity of the exploratory factor analysis could be presented by the goodness of fit index congruence of chi-square test = 453.28 df = 206 p-value = 0.00 RMSEA = 0.038 GFI = 0.95 AGFI = 0.93 CFI = 0.98 RMR = 0.52 and CN = 475.10. 2. The instructional model according to the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students was the model of activities that was not based on the content of the course. Learning activities focused on the practice of the Contemplative Education to develop 6 disciplines to the public of secondary school students as follows; honesty, responsibilities, regulations of the school and society, respecting the rights of others, sacrifice, and leadership. The learning activities contained 5 sequential steps; 1. faith creation 2. knowledge 3. learning participation 4. reflection and 5. implementation. The disciplinary test and students behavior observation form were used in measurement and evaluation. 3. The results of the instructional model according to the Contemplative Education to develop the discipline of secondary school students found that the students who learned by the instructional model according to the Contemplative Education had higher public discipline than the students who learned by the traditional approach at a statistically significant .05 level (F = 893.27). The public discipline of students were durable at a statistically significant .05 level (F=90651.76). The discipline behavior in public discipline after the experiment was higher than before the experiment at a statistically significant .05 level (F = 5797.76).
