2025-10-14T09:46:52+07:00

Purpose: To investigate the causal factors of virtual museum quality in terms of user experience that influence the acceptance of virtual museum technology to promote cultural heritage tourism in the Bueng Khun Thale community, Surat Thani Province.

Methodology: This study employed a mixed-methods research approach. The quantitative phase comprised 370 individuals, whereas the qualitative phase had 15 people. The research tools included an interview guide for assessing virtual museum needs, a virtual museum quality questionnaire, and a technological acceptability questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, and structural equation modeling with latent variables using AMOS software.

Findings: 1) The acceptance of Bueng Khun Thale virtual museum technology was at a high level with a mean of 4.46. 2) The model demonstrated good fit with the empirical data. 3) Virtual museum quality in terms of user experience had a direct influence on technology acceptance, with the model explaining 96 percent of the variance in technology acceptance, which is considered very high.

Applications of this study: The research findings can be used as guidelines for developing and designing the Bueng Khun Thale community virtual museum to be user-responsive, enhance cultural heritage tourism potential, and serve as a model for applying virtual museum technology at the local level in Thailand.

2025-08-27T19:04:32+07:00

Purpose: To develop a curriculum management information system in accordance with AUN-QA criteria, and to evaluate its efficiency for curriculum management.

Methodology: The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design based on Agile Modeling, consisting of six stages: stakeholder analysis, planning, system analysis, development, testing, and evaluation. Data were collected through requirement interviews covering system components, functional features, data elements, desired reports, and implementation context, along with a Likert scale questionnaire to assess system quality, information quality, net benefits, and user satisfaction. The participants included 52 stakeholders: 3 administrators, 21 curriculum committee members, and 28 support staff. System development utilized tools such as Data Flow Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Apache 2.4, PHP 7.2, MariaDB 10.2, Docker 19.03.2, Yii2 Framework, and Vue.JS 2.5.

Findings: The developed Curriculum Management Information System (CA System) comprises four main modules: data entry, data retrieval, data processing, and reporting. It was designed with consideration of user roles and responsibilities, enabling access to reliable data and evidence for curriculum management in compliance with AUN-QA criteria. An evaluation by 52 stakeholders revealed that the system demonstrated a very high overall efficiency (Mean = 4.58, S.D. = 0.57). Among the dimensions, net benefits achieved the highest rating (Mean = 4.71, S.D. = 0.49).

Applications of this study: The system can be applied in other higher education institutions to enhance curriculum administration consistent with AUN-QA criteria, reduce redundancy in data management, and provide as empirical evidence for quality assurance reporting. Moreover, it can be extended for university-wide implementation as a standardized framework for curriculum management and quality assurance.

Usage Behavior of the LINE Application in the Work of Administrative Staff and Its Effects on Characteristics of Records: A Study of the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University

2025-08-15T20:05:46+07:00

Purpose: To examine user behavior and the influence of using LINE application as a tool for work, along with the effects of the application’s use on the characteristics of records.

Methodology: The data were collected through a questionnaire administrated to 40 administrative staff members of the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with five staff members, including three administrative staff who completed the questionnaire and two executives from administrative teams.

Findings: The findings indicate that administrative staff often use LINE application in their daily work, especially for communication and for sending or receiving records between officers within the same division. The main motivation for this usage is that the application is already used by colleagues, making communication more convenient. However, using LINE affects the characteristics of records, particularly their integrity and usability.

Applications of this study: This study can be used as a guideline for improving best practices for LINE application usage at work.
