The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in early 2020, forced educational institutions in Thailand to chiefly rely on online learning during the government mandated lockdown for almost two academic years. Although migration to the online format seems to suit lectures, it is inadequate for laboratory courses since students could not do the experiment…

The cooperative learning Jigsaw technique is one learning management that promotes learning in the 21st century, and it is a learning management that promotes student learning achievement. Therefore, the researcher is interested in studying the learning achievement of science teacher students before and after learning with the Jigsaw technique and…

The ability to collaborate with culturally diverse groups is essential, not only to further scientific knowledge but also to solve complex global problems. However, not all students have opportunities to develop intercultural competencies through study abroad programs, due to various issues such as cost, rigid curriculum, and unrelated field of…

The purpose of the current study is to qualitatively explore how Thai preservice biology teachers make decisions on, and informally reason about, an agriculture-based socioscientific issue (SSI). The SSI arises mainly as a controversy between two social classes, namely the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, involving haze pollution.…

Advancing inquiry-based science education is crucial for fostering sustainable development among science teachers. Integrating digital technology into teacher preparation programs is essential due to its widespread use in inquiry-based methodologies. Understanding the Nature of Scientific Inquiry (NOSI) is fundamental for pre-service science…

A green chemistry experiment is presented for teaching an undergraduate quantitative analysis/analytical chemistry laboratory class through the use of black tea leaf extract for the determination of iron in supplement tablets. Dried tea leaf is a safe, low cost, and widely available source of natural extract that can be used in place of more toxic…

Teachers' beliefs are strong predictors of their practices. They guide how teachers understand the implementation of effective inquiry-based lessons. The cross-case analysis indicated that the fundamental problems observed in many Thai pre-service science teachers' classroom inquiries stemmed from their beliefs on teaching science. Although the…

This research aims to create and validate the quality of performance assessment using functional analysis. The researchers employed a design-based research method to create core competencies and their workload-based key outcome indicators as a preliminary study encompassing two phases, before formulating a standards-setting appraisal model to…

The changing world needs literate citizens to live with creative society. This study aimed to compare science literacy of novice science teacher students from Thailand and Indonesia. Panel participants were 95 of Thai and 71 of Indonesian novice science teacher students who have been studying in the 1st and 2nd year of study in bachelor degree of…

This paper demonstrates an experimental integrated lesson of physics and calculus in a topic of fluid force applying on different shapes of dams. This lesson was designed for the first year students in engineering program in an attempt to show them the connection between these two disciplines, as well as to introduce more advanced…

This research aimed to study a direct positive effect of English self-efficacy on English language proficiency, a positive effect of metacognitive learning strategies on English self-efficacy, and an indirect effect of metacognitive learning strategies on English language proficiency with English self-efficacy as a mediator among 160 EFL…

The purpose of this study was to build a project-based learning (PjBL) model using Susan A. Ambrose et al. cycle's metacognition conceptual framework. The PjBL approach was created to improve the preservice science teacher's metacognitive skills. Methods: To modify the PjBL strategy, this study began with a basic review of PjBL and metacognitive…

In the context of the current teacher education program in Thailand, Technology Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework is formally recognized as essential qualities of knowledge for a highly qualified preservice teacher in today's education. TPACK has been attracted to educational researchers for preparing preservice science teachers…

The purpose of this research was to analyze the confirmatory components of the computational thinking learning competency measurement model. The sample group consisted of 240 students in the Bachelor of Education Program in Computer and Digital Technology for Education in Years 2-4 of five of the Rattanakosin Rajabhat Universities. Data collection…

This study aimed to develop a learning progression (LP) for botanical literacy and assess the impact of a garden-based education course on Thai pre-service science teachers (n = 49). The inquiry- and community-based education course was taught over a 15-week period. To measure botanical literacy, a 50-item multiple-choice test was employed. A…
