Abstract

This research aims to define the challenges and opportunities and how educational staff, teacher, lecturer in Nakhon Pathom, and Thailand respond to the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and understand the education obstacles due to the Covid19 pandemic in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. The information was collected by in-depth interview with 28 experienced educational staff in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, using snowball sampling during April 2020. Scope of information on the education obstacles, the challenges, and opportunities and how educational staff, teacher, lecturer in Nakhon Pathom, and Thailand respond to the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was analyzed using cause and effect analysis. The observed obstacles using the qualitative research methodology would be defined in the literature review section. The education obstacles due to the Covid19 pandemic are educational staff social impacts, educational staff working impacts, institutional responses, and support in resources. The study can be concluded that every crisis, there is always an opportunity. Perhaps, in this case, it is an opportunity for a pedagogical review. Therefore, it is expected that much educational staff will undertake the path of a necessary pedagogical renewal that favours both quality and equality. It is necessary to start from the principle of realism and generate strategies that do not rely only on a single technology, but on several to ensure that all students are taken into account or, which is equally or more critical, that technological solutions do not harm those who are already disadvantaged

Implementation of Data Analytics and Machine Learning in Thailand Education Sector

“…According to the existing methods in several applications of data analytics in the Thailand education sector, it found that most of the research relied heavily on data collection, questionnaires, and surveys combined with statistical processes [25][26][27][28][29], while other academic works preferred different methods, such as classification [24] and snowball sampling [30]. Even if statistical methods provided satisfactory effectiveness for data analysis in different situations where the size is not very large [44], massive data volumes induced by the economic conditions during the COVID-19 outbreak have affected the accuracy of data assessment and analytics, whether it is a study plan [37][38][39][40] or an employment projection after each academic year [43].…”

The data were collected through in-depth interviews and interpreted along with the causeand-effect analysis to determine the challenges and opportunities of 28 experienced educational respondents.…”

Healthcare and Education Professions’ Perception of Government Health Crisis Management in Thailand

“…Only a few teachers were trained to use technology and to teach online. Hence, online teaching became a hurdle to most teachers, especially in rural areas (Kenan Foundation, 2023;Vanpetch & Sattayathamrongthian, 2020). According to Suksawas and Yiemkuntitavorn (2022), teachers need more training in the essential functions of online learning modes, and they lack technical support, e.g.…”

Digital Learning is the New of Education Face

“…Education in Thailand faces several challenges due to the many institutions that limit face-to-face learning and training with social distancing policies that require the learning process to shift to virtual classrooms [20]. Many schools are located in rural areas and have low incomes.…”
