Abstract
This study employed a research and development approach with the objective of developing a learning model for the course Operations and Food and Beverage Service based on the Active Learning approach, integrating area-based learning in Rang Bua Subdistrict, Chom Bueng District, Ratchaburi Province. The population and sample consisted of nine students enrolled in the course, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included: 1) Area-based Active Learning lesson plans, 2) An academic achievement test, 3) A student satisfaction questionnaire, and 4) A community satisfaction questionnaire. Data were collected through the implementation of three main learning activities: local food design and decoration (Rang Bua Creative Kitchen), Thai-Yuan style meal arrangement and food service, and a beverage-mixing competition using local ingredients. Students engaged in hands-on practice, participated in knowledge exchange with local experts, and reflected on their learning outcomes through analytical thinking processes. Data analysis was conducted using mean and standard deviation. The key findings revealed that the students’ post-activity academic achievement had an average score of 87.04, exceeding the standard criterion of 80/80, indicating the effectiveness of the developed learning model. Students reported a high level of satisfaction with the learning activities, while the community reported the highest level of satisfaction, reflecting the appropriateness of integrating learning with the authentic local context. Based on expert analysis, the learning model was further developed into the “7A Active Learning Model,” consisting of Awareness, Analysis, Arrangement, Action, Assessment, Adjustment, and Advancement. This comprehensive active learning process promotes learners’ construction of knowledge, collaboration with the community, and the application of knowledge toward career development and sustainable community development.
