กรณีศึกษาการเรียนรู้เชิงรุก ในเขตจังหวัดปทุมธานี = Assessment of the implementation of education reform policy : a case of active learning in Pathumthani Province
Abstract:
This study aims to 1) investigate the outcomes resulting from the implementation of the education reform policies through active learning, 2) examine the problems and obstacles encountered in the implementation of the education reform policies through active learning, 3) study the factors influencing the success of the implementation of the education reform policies through active learning, and 4) propose guidelines for the implementation of the education reform policies through active learning. This research employed a qualitative research approach utilizing a policy assessment form. Data were collected from informants residing in Pathumthani Province and subsequently analyzed and presented in a descriptive manner.
The results of the study showed that the outcomes of the implementation of the education reform policies were well correlated with the policy implementation guidelines. The main problems and obstacles encountered during the implementation of the policy included issues related to resources, especially tools and materials, as well as the technology needed to support active learning activities. In addition, a major factor influencing success was the collaboration from all related sectors, both within and outside the educational setting. This included educational
personnel, students, guardians, and community leaders, all of whom actively participated in various operations, such as providing knowledge. This study suggests that educational institutes should emphasize building knowledge and understanding of the core aspects of the policies, including their objectives, teaching and learning styles, and activities. In addition, there should be a collaborative effort to establish indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of active teaching and learning, alongside providing the necessary resource support which aligns with the context and requirements of the policy goals. In addition, the educational institution should increase participation levels and broaden involvement across various sectors. It is essential to systematically assess joint operations on an ongoing basis, preparing for quality changes in policy guidelines to align with diverse environments.
