This research aimed to analyze the stages of the adoption of chest X-ray artificial intelligence (CXR-AI) in Thai public hospitals and the patterns of the adoption processes using a framework of organizational innovation process. This study employed a qualitative research method using a multiple- case study approach. Four cases of public hospitals in Thailand were selected using purposive selection. 17 key informants were selected from the cases using both purposive sampling and snowball sampling strategies. The data was collected using semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The study showed that: 1. All cases had reached at least the clarifying stages. Hospitals that had reached the routinizing stages were those that had made long-term arrangements, such as the introduction of a use guideline and budget preparation for the implementation. Decreased demand for use due to the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the discontinuation of the adoption. 2. Patterns of the adoption followed the organizational innovation process suggested by Rogers with some variations. The initiation of AI adoption was either demand-driven or technology-driven. Active rejection during the process could happen at any point in the process, and double cycles of adoption were observed. Some stages, such as redefining and clarifying stages may overlap. This research provides insights into the CXR-AI innovation adoption process by public hospitals, which will benefit hospital managers in planning and promoting the implementation of this technology.

In terms of organizing the learning process to accommodate the cultural diversity of learners, most instructors persist in utilizing teacher-centered learning concepts and methods, relying on standardized teaching materials such as lesson plans, educational content, textbooks, and learning activities sourced from external publishers' manuals. This prevalent practice engenders a lack of diversity and fails to accurately reflect reality, highlighting deficiencies in the integration skill for integrating learning to suit the spatial context and the diverse needs of learners. Furthermore, educational institutions are observed to lack essential resources to support effective learning, including materials and facilities such as dance laboratories, alongside limited opportunities for regular instructors to enhance their multicultural skills, owing to constrained budgets for educational organization.

From the perspective of the issues identified, the majority of dance teachers demonstrate a strong inclination towards developing the multicultural learning management competencies of dance teachers.

The objectives of this research were to develop a knowledge package and communication courses on tourism activities of PhraThat Phanom and the satellite PhraThats, examine the efficiency of a knowledge package and curriculum according to the 80/80 criteria, study the effects of the knowledge package and communication courses on the trainees’ English listening and speaking ability and study the trainees’ satisfaction towards the knowledge package and communication courses on tourism activities of PhraThat Phanom and the satellite PhraThats. The target population consisted of 30 participants, including merchants, monks, novices, local tour guides, and interested students. The data collection tools included a knowledge package and communication courses on the tourism activities of Phra That Phanom and the satellite Phra Thats that constructed by the researcher using relevant information from the literature and a non-structured interview, an English listening and speaking test, and a satisfaction questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of 0.89 using the efficiency and effectiveness evaluation based on the E₁/E₂ formula. The statistics used in this research were percentage, frequency, average, and standard deviation, and hypothesis testing was conducted using a dependent sample T-test. The results revealed that 1) the efficiency of the knowledge package and communication courses were 81.73/83.50, which met the criteria of 80/80. 2) The posttest scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores at the statistical significance level of .05, and 3) the trainees showed a high level of satisfaction towards the knowledge package and communication courses on tourism activities of PhraThat Phanom and the satellite PhraThats ( = 4.48, S.D. = 0.25).

Extending the Results of Using a Learning Management Model to Enhance Rational Problem Solving and Mathematical Analysis Based on Digital Learning Ecosystem Grounded in Constructionism Theory for High Vocational Certificate Students

This research aimed to extend and study the students’satisfaction toward learning management to enhance rational problem solving and mathematical analysis based on digital learning ecosystem grounded in constructionism theory for high vocational certificate students. The population of the study was the first-year high vocational certificate students studying in the second semester in the academic year of 2023 at That Phanom College, Nakhon Phanom University. The sampling for extending the results consisted of 14 first-year high vocational certificate students studying in the program of electronics and robots, which was selected by purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted 1) the lesson plans in which the quality and the suitability were at the highest level ( = 4.73, S.D.=0.42), 2) the test for measuring rational problem solving in which the difficulty value (P) was during 0.47-0.65, the discriminant power (r) was during 0.44–0.75, and reliability was 0.74, 3) the ability assessment form of mathematic analysis in which the difficulty value (P) was during 0.35-0.78, the discriminant power (r) was during 0.32–0.80, and the reliability was 0.89, and 4) a questionnaire of the students’ satisfaction towards learning management model in which the reliability was 0.89. The research was conducted during October-December 2023. The data were statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and dependent samples t – test. The results revealed that: 1) The extended sample group showed significant improvement in rational problem-solving and mathematical analysis after learning, with statistical significance at the.05 level. 2) The overall student satisfaction towards the management model was at the highest level. ( = 4.71, S.D.=0.47)

The Development of English Speaking and Writing Abilities of Grade 12 Students Using Creativity-Based Learning with ClassDojo Application

2024-06-21T15:35:57+07:00

The objectives of this research was to develop students’ English speaking and writing abilities using creativity-based learning with ClassDojo Application. The target group consisted of 43 grade 12 students in Khonkaenwittayayon School, Muang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen, using purposive sampling. Three-circle action research was used as a research methodology. The instruments consisted of: research operational tools such as six creativity-based learning with ClassDojo lesson plans totaling 12 instructional hours; research reflection tools research reflection tools such as a lesson plan record form, a behavioral observation form, a learning activity observation form, a students’ interview form, an end-of-spiral English speaking ability assessment test, and an end-of-spiral English writing ability assessment test; and research assessment tools consisting of an English speaking test and an English writing test. The quantitative data was analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and percentage. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. The findings found that: 1) The mean score of students' speaking skills was 11.37, or 75.78 percent of the full score, and 35 students, or 81.40 percent, passed the criterion, which was higher than the prescribed criterion. 2) The mean score of writing skill was 11.83, or 78.86 percent of the full score, and 33 students, or 76.74 percent of them, passed the criterion, which was higher than the prescribed criterion.
