Abstract
This research aimed to develop a learning management model for Buddhist Studies based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipaṭṭhāna) and to examine the results of implementing this model. The target group consisted of 302 students studying in Grade 11 at Srinakharinwirot University Demonstration School, Patumwan, who were enrolled in a Buddhist Studies course during the second semester of the 2024 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans for Buddhist Studies based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, a learning achievement test for Grade 11 students, and an assessment form for students’ desirable characteristics based on the same principles. Data were analyzed using content analysis, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a dependent t-test.
The findings revealed as follows: 1) The learning management model based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness consists of five components: (1) principles of the instructional model, (2) objectives of the instructional model, (3) learning content, (4) the learning management process based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness which comprises four learning bases: body (preparation), feelings (awareness), mind (concentration), and dhamma (understanding), and (5) measurement and evaluation. 2) The results also showed that students’ learning achievement after studying Buddhist Studies using the Four Foundations of Mindfulness model was higher than before the instruction and exceeded the 75 percent criterion at a statistical significance level of .05. Additionally, students’ desirable characteristics based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness after the instruction were significantly higher than before the instruction at the .05 level.
