The major analytical research question addressed in this paper is: What are Thailand’s strengths and weaknesses as an international education hub for students from the Asian region? The key descriptive research question is: What is the nature of the educational experience of Asian students in Thailand? The two major research methodologies of the study are mixed research methods and comparative case studies, with the use of in-depth interviews of influential experts, surveys, and an autoethnography. In terms of major findings, there has been a dramatic growth of Asian students at Thai universities during the past two decades. Thailand’s major advantages relate to low costs, location, quality campus facilities, and a welcoming attitude toward outsiders, while major disadvantages are the quality of many of Thailand’s international programs often related to low English language capabilities. The paper concludes by presenting a creative new architecture for thinking about Asian study abroad in Thailand.
Measurement and evaluation of teaching and learning are important for learning management, but some computer education lecturers don't have these skills. Most lack of knowledge in test construction and they perceive that they lack of opportunities to learn about test construction techniques. That may lead to the low quality of educational computer test affecting quality of education. The purpose of this research was to develop a model for knowledge sharing in order to develop educational computer standardized test. The model of knowledge sharing was evaluated by 5 expert instructional designers and data were analyzed using content analysis and descriptive statistics. The research results were as follows: 1) There are 5 components of knowledge sharing namely people, knowledge, technology support system, activity and evaluation and 2) The model of knowledge sharing consists of 7 steps including explain and guide, objective, facilitate, assign, share and learn, review and evaluate. Moreover, the degrees of congruence among experts are high.
