Abstract
This research aimed to study the components and indicators of engineering habits of mind for 10th grade students. This research used a document research and connoisseurship approach. The research process included 1) studying documents, textbooks, and related research to analyze the meaning and essence of “engineering habits of mind” by classifying key words into parts, namely “engineering”, “habits of mind”, and “competency promotion” as a database for synthesizing the components and indicators of engineering habits of mind for 10th grade students. The population used in the study comprised 10th grade students attending Srinakharinwirot University Prasarnmit Demonstration School (Secondary) during semester 2, Academic year 2024. The students were enrolled in 9 engineering majors, totaling 199 students, and the sample group comprised 59 10th grade students majoring in mathematics-engineering, who were chosen through simple random sampling by using the major as the unit of sampling. The study also 2) assessed the consistency and appropriateness of the components and indicators using an assessment form and in-depth interviews with experts in the engineering field as well as 5 experts in learning management for engineering majors curriculum and teaching. Further 3) data were collected from assessment responses and in-depth interviews with experts, which were coded to examine the components of each issue from the opinions of each expert. The coded data were synthesized and used to improve the components and indicators of engineering habits of mind for increased appropriateness. Finally 4) the component and indicator data were verified by 3 experts, 2 of whom were experts from the in-depth interviews in step 2 and 1 new engineering expert.
The study results found that engineering habits of mind were desirable characteristics for engineers and could be developed among 10th grade students by classifying engineering habits of mind into 3 components, comprising knowledge, skills, and characteristics. ...
