Development Innovation of Learning Management through Phenomenon - Based Learning and Collaborative Approaches for Sustainable Education in the Rayong Education Sandbox Using an AI-Driven Competency Assessment System

Abstract

     This study aimed to : 1) develop a seamless, participatory mechanism to drive educational development in Rayong Province; 2) enhance teachers’ problem-solving and innovation skills through phenomenon-based learning; 3) develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system for competency assessment and learning achievement reporting; and 4) examine an integrated model for driving educational mechanisms through the development of educational personnel using phenomenon-based approaches combined with AI technology in the Educational Innovation Area of Rayong Province. The research employed a participatory action research approach. The sample consisted of members of the Rayong Educational Innovation Area steering committee, educational supervisors, school administrators, and teachers from 12 pilot schools, totaling 312 teachers who voluntarily participated. Research instruments included a coaching performance assessment form, a problem-solving and innovation skills assessment, an AI-based examination system evaluation, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, and standard deviation.
     The findings revealed that : 1) the driving mechanism involved establishing coaching teams composed of key stakeholders who demonstrated a very high level of coaching competency ( = 86.76); 2) teachers showed improved problem-solving and innovation skills through phenomenon-based learning at a high level ( = 78.40, SD = 2.71); 3) the AI-based examination and reporting system achieved good accuracy and overall quality ( = 3.61, SD = 0.88); and (4) the integrated model, combining positive psychology-based coaching with AI-supported assessment and reporting systems, was perceived as high quality ( = 3.79, SD = 0.75). The model also promoted sustainable growth mindset and continuous development through seamless collaboration and data-driven monitoring, serving as a prototype for educational policy development at both provincial and national levels.
