Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the learning management model for local wisdom related to Palmyra Palm in a participatory approach at the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center for Palmyra Palm conservation in Sankhaburi District of Chainat Province, and subsequently assess its effectiveness.

Methods: Participatory action research methods were employed.  Twenty key informants were purposefully selected and categorized into three groups: twelve students, three village philosophers, and five community leaders, community researchers, and academia. The research instrument consisted of an interview guideline for group discussion, an observation form, a skill assessment form, and a student performance evaluation form. The data were analyzed through content analysis.

Findings: The findings of this study show that: (1) A local wisdom learning project with a learning management plan that emphasizes activities in which the community and students participate in the learning process from the lesson's introduction to the learning activity practice step to the learning assessment and measurement step is an example of a participatory learning management model of local wisdom on Palmyra Palm. (2) According to the learning management model evaluation, students have selected to study three wisdom projects: The Palmyra palm sugar production project, the Palmyra palm tree climbing and fresh sugar collection project, and the Palmyra palm plantation project. Regarding learning behavior, students in all three projects intended to collaborate prior to acting. In terms of operational skills, students' learning outcomes from the Palmyra palm sugar production project and from climbing the palm tree and harvesting fresh sugar were mediocre. The learning outcomes for the students involved in the Palmyra Palm Plantation Project were good. In terms of performance, students involved in the Palmyra Palm Plantation Project achieved good outcomes. Learning outcomes for students who climbed the Palmyra palm tree and harvested fresh sugar from it were mediocre. Regarding the students involved in the Palmyra palm sugar production project, they require improvement in their performance.

Applications of this study: The article's findings can serve as an educational tool for understanding local wisdom on palmyra palm in community learning centers and can be integrated into the learning management of local wisdom in both formal and informal education systems.
