The objectives of the study were to 1) analyze the components and indicators for enhancing classroom research competencies of student teachers, 2) study the needs of developing classroom research competencies of the student teachers, 3) to create a model for enhancing research competencies in the classroom, 4) apply the form of a model for enhancing research competencies in the classroom of student teachers and 5) evaluate the model for enhancing research competencies in the classroom. The sample group consisted of student teachers, mentors, and experts. The instruments used in the research were: 1) a questionnaire on current conditions and desirable conditions for developing research competencies in the classroom, 2) a questionnaire on the components and indicators of research competencies in the classroom of the student teachers, 3) an assessment form for appropriateness and possibility of the model, 4) research knowledge test, 5) assessment form for research practice, 6) research mind test and 7) assessment form for opinions towards the use of the model. Statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and data analysis by Priority Needs Index Modified (PNImodified) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The results of the study were as follows: 1) Components and indicators of research competencies in the classroom of student teachers were classified into 3 components and 71 indicators as follows: Component 1: Cognitive, there were 24 indicators, the eigenvalue was 4.69; Component 2: Research practice, there were 30 indicators, the eigenvalue was 45.13; Component 3: research mind, there were 17 indicators, the eigenvalue was 1.91. 2) The results of the assessment of the needs of research competencies in the classroom of the student teachers by Priority Needs Index Modified (PNImodified) revealed that the most needed competencies were cognitive (0.179), followed by research practice skills (0.178) and research mind (0.127), respectively. 3) The model for enhancing research competencies in the classroom of student teachers was conducted with the research practice of student teachers. There were 5 steps to develop according to the established method: self-awareness, motivation, intimation, learning, and evaluation. 4) The results of the experimental model of enhancing research competencies in the classroom of the student teachers revealed that they had a good understanding at 76.30%, and the overall classroom research practice was at a high level (X̅ = 3.99, S.D. = .589), and the overall research mind was at a high level (X̅ = 4.15, S.D. = .863). 5) The evaluation results of the model for enhancing research competencies in the classroom of the student teachers, overall were at a high level (X̅ = 4.28, S.D. = .663).
This research focuses on intelligence quotient (IQ) of the primary school students in Mahasarakham Province. There are 5,053 subjects from 64 schools under the Mahasarakham Primary Education Office. Stratified Random Sampling is applied in selecting the subjects. The subjects are divided according to their districts and school sizes (Small, Medium-Sized, and Large) with three units: schools, classrooms, and students. The results are shown in both “Descriptive Statistics” to describe demographic factors and “Inferential Statistics” to compare the cognitive levels among the elementary school students from different demographic factors. The results of the study indicate that the IQ of the primary school students in Mahasarakham Province is at the normal level. Most of them, 3,358 students or 66.46%, have the average level of IQ. 148 students or 2.93% have the higher-than-average level while 68 students or 1.35% had the lower-than-average level. After considering the IQ of the students on an individual basis in the designated educational area, there are different factors contributing to the results including the sizes of the school, the parents’ education level, and the parents’ average monthly incomes (F = 2.521, P-value = 0.040). The level of intelligence is not only the result of genetics and environment, but also the result of many internal and external factors. The study shows that the level of intelligence among the elementary school students in Mahasarakham is at the average level with different basic information and factors such as individuals, families, and schools. Therefore, all related sectors to educational development should realize the importance of promoting the students’ intelligence in order to reach the students’ full potential.
This research aimed to investigate the current conditions in the measuring and assessment of learning. It was also to investigate the guidelines in the measuring and assessing of learning in the COVID-19 situation at secondary school in Udonthani. The qualitative data were collected by the interview, include a school director, academic supervisor, teacher, student, parent and supervisor. The data were analyzed and categorized into themes. The results showed that measuring and assessment the behavior of standards, indicators and each student’s objective has an important objective but they were unsuccessful, so the teachers may be modify to use in planning and framework for implementation Emphasis is placed on modifying measurement and evaluation methods and criteria. In accordance with the context of the school and the conditions of the learners.
