Synthesis of Knowledge Transfer Processes for the Model of Transmitting the King’s Philosophy to Local Communities.

Abstract

This research aims to 1) Synthesize a knowledge transfer process model for the transmission              of King’s Philosophy to local communities, and 2) Evaluate the knowledge transfer process model for transmitting the King’s Philosophy to local communities. The data sources are 1) key informants, including 40 community members, local leaders, and community experts, and 2) participants in group discussions, including 20 government personnel and teachers. The accuracy and appropriateness were assessed by five experts in education, assessment and evaluation, and local development. The tools used include structured interviews, group discussion guides, and evaluation forms for the accuracy and appropriateness of knowledge transfer process components. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis and presented with descriptive statistics, while quantitative data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The research findings revealed that 1) there are two knowledge transfer processes: (1) the knowledge transfer process to the public, consisting of five steps: defining learning requirements, setting learning objectives, determine sources of knowledge, selecting learning methods and activities, and evaluating learning outcomes; (2) the knowledge transfer process to students, consisting of five steps: concrete experience, reflecting on learning outcomes, Summary of concepts, applying knowledge, and evaluating learning outcomes. 2) The evaluation results for process 1 showed the highest level of accuracy (=4.52) and a high level of appropriateness (=4.48). For process 2, the accuracy was also at the highest level (=4.56) and the appropriateness was at a high level (=4.44).
