Scientific literacy is a crucial need for understanding the phenomenon and problem-solving of general science student teachers and necessary to prepare for work in school. This research developed a model of scientific literacy for general science student teachers at Rajabhat University, which consisted of 4 components, namely scientific attitude, understanding the nature of science, scientific inquiry ability, and application of science to contexts, including 12 indicators. It aimed to confirm the model with empirical data. The samples were 400 second-year general science student teachers of 16 Rajabhat Universities, selected by two-stage random sampling. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire with 36 questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The research finding revealed that the four elements confirmed the model of scientific literacy components’ general science teacher students. The model was confirmed by the second-order CFA, in which the factors were consistent with empirical data (Chi-Square=55.201, df=43, p=0.100, relative Chi-Square =1.284, GFI=0.978, AGFI=0.961, NFI=0.987, RMR=0.006, SRMR=0.0251, RMSEA=0.027). In addition, the standardized scores loading of four components were in the range of 0.788-0.860, the AVE was in the range of 0.746-0.878, and the CR was in the range of 0.898-0.951. The highest score loading was the scientific inquiry ability, followed by understanding the nature of science, application of science to context, and scientific attitude (standardized scores loading 0.860, 0.826, 0.8925, and 0.788, respectively). These results were employed to develop a scientific literacy test for assessing general science student teachers at Rajabhat University’s skills and develop an instructional model for promoting their abilities.

Kanyarat Poolperm — 2023-12-21

Analysis of literature on the application of innovation in libraries of higher education institutions between 2018 and 2022 in Thailand. The objectives are to 1) analyze the literature on the application of innovation 2) analyze the literature on the application of innovation. In the library of a higher education institution It can be searched from the Thai Higher Education Library Network System (ThaiLIS) and the Google Scholar online database, containing 164 titles from 53 institutions. Tools used to collect data Use the literature quality assessment form. The results of the literature analysis found that the institution that produced the most literature on innovation application was Chulalongkorn University. The most created year was 2020. The most created types of innovations were process innovations and the application of innovations in library work at higher education institutions. Information system development

Ontology Development for Library Science Taxonomy Based on Facet Categorization

Chayanon Pornprasit — 2023-12-21

The purposes of this study were to 1) develop an ontology of library science terminology by facet classification and 2) to evaluate an ontology of library science terminology. Data were collected from search terms in library database by selecting 320 library science related words. The ontology was developed by content analysis to define knowledge structures and group terms using facet classification. The knowledge was divided into 12 domains as follows: 1) intellectual property 2) library and information science career 3) information sources 4) knowledge management 5) information resources 6) social media 7) classification 8) archives 9) library’s tasks 10) librarian professional associations 11) search tools and 12) digital libraries. The ontology consisted of 44 main classes, 243 subclasses, 4 types of 13 hierarchical relationships, and 39 instances. The ontology was evaluated using a Delphi technique by 9 experts to validate the classification and structure of the ontology, including the completeness and relationships within the structure. It was found that, on average, the completeness was at the highest level ( =4.78), the consistency was at the highest level ( =4.78), the conciseness was at a high level ( =4.44), the accuracy was at the highest level ( =4.85) and the clarity was at the highest level ( =4.78).

Lesson Learned from Successful Agricultural Social Entrepreneurship in Guangxi

Yu Zhong — 2023-12-21

Rural revitalization and young people returning home to start businesses are two major problems facing China. Farmers' cooperative is one of the main forms of agricultural social entrepreneurship in China, but in practice, the lack of entrepreneurial ability and the lack of market, economic and human resources support have affected the enthusiasm of young people. In this paper, expert surveys, interviews and other methods are used to find out the factors that affect the success of agricultural social entrepreneurship, draw lessons from them, and draw strategies to improve young people's ability to participate in rural social entrepreneurship. It is clear that the orientation of social entrepreneurship should be adhered to in the process of starting a business. Entrepreneurs can improve their entrepreneurial competence through internal and external learning, market research and social support. The application of technology and management knowledge can improve efficiency and create a good social reputation. Most of the human resources support comes from the support of local communities and experts. The business model of "Company + Cooperative + Farmer" is basically conducive to the development of rural social entrepreneurship.

Non-Destructive Assessment of Fruit Quality Using Image Texture Features and Minimum Distance Classification

Sukanya Phongsuphap — 2023-12-22

This research aims to study non-destructive fruit quality assessment using guava-kimju as a case study. It presents an image processing technique by analyzing the guava's texture features obtained from images. The study explores the attributes related to taste and flesh quality of guava. The experiments are conducted using texture features (1) Single feature, (2) Multiple features, and classification is performed using the minimum distance classification method.

The results have shown that, (1) classifying the correlation between guava taste (sweet/not sweet) using the minimum distance method and the "smoothness" texture feature is more accurate than other texture features, with an accuracy rate of 66.67%. (2) Classifying the correlation between guava flesh texture (soft/not soft) using the minimum distance method and the "clumpiness" and "missibility" texture features is more accurate than other texture features, with an accuracy rate of 80.00%.

Satisfaction with Active Learning Activities Implementation in Digital, Media, and Information Literacy: A Case Study of Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University

Chokthamrong Chongchorhor — 2023-12-24

The purpose of this study was to examine subject satisfaction with active learning activities. 91 students are enrolled in "Digital, Information, and Media literacy (9001301)" for the first semester of the academic year 2022 at Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University's Bachelor of Business Administration Course. The instruments of research were questionnaires. The study used frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation statistics. Students reported overall satisfaction with "teaching preparation," "teaching technique," "material received," and "active learning activities for each category," according to the findings. There are recommendations for future enhancements, including the addition of more study time. Modernizing equipment via upgrades. For the next academic year, let's keep students engaged in interesting active learning activities like moral theatre plays on digital society's issues, news analyses and presentations about Thailand's cyber criminals.
