Perceptions and the new paradigm of Thai vocational education

Abstract

The objectives were to: 1) assess and analyse students’ perceptions toward vocational education; 2) propose a new paradigm and alternative pathways to change students’ perceptions about vocational education. The use of mixed methods in this study developed a better understanding of secondary students’ decisions towards vocational education. The results obtained from different methods have enriched the understanding of vocational education issues and advanced research in vocational education. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to analyse the perceptions of 802 secondary students from six Thai regions toward vocational education. In-depth interviews with 18 students in grades 7-12 were analysed using a content analysis. Secondary students who had completed or were enrolled in vocational education influenced secondary students’ views on vocational education. A new paradigm is required for new vocational education images, which may modify the image of vocational education and contribute to a new paradigm shift in vocational education.

Career awareness linkage strategies to support learning career education and STEM education

Abstract

This study analyzed the attributes and competencies for careers that correspond to STEM education to facilitate career awareness in early childhood and assessed the appropriateness of career awareness and career exploration through career education that supports STEM education. A number of methods were used to assess skills and competencies for early childhood children: Synthesizing existing research, interviews with well-known 12 people who have careers in STEM fields (e.g., psychologists, scientists, entomologists, physicians), and stakeholder analysis, and a career linkage strategy model. The findings indicated that the most important attributes and competencies for overall child development were the ability to recognize one’s own emotions, to form one’s attitude, to build one’s character, to develop one’s personality, and to learn competence that could form one’s identity and be used in a variety of situations. The career linkage strategy model is proposed for connecting each stakeholder to support children’s career learning. It connects schools, family, and other supports that could yield results in career awareness in early childhood children. The career linkage strategy model is a way of promoting the role of society in career learning in early childhood. It found that all sectors were important as they facilitated or affected career awareness in early childhood.

Gamers’ Total Experience and Game Motivation for Further Education Digital Manpower

Abstract—Digital Manpower is very necessary in Thailand today as the
growth of technology continues to increase. For example, tech giant Gartner has announced new technology trends every year including 2022, announcing the following technology trends: Total Experience, Composable Application, Decision Intelligence, Hyperautomation, Distributed Enterprises, Autonomic Systems, Generative AI, AI Engineering etc. The application of technology in daily life is increasing. The development of Digital Manpower is therefore very important in order to increase the knowledge and expertise of the country’s people
in technology. From the statistics, the country has increased internet usage in many ways. For example, from the statistics in 2021, Thai children playing games were number 1 in the world, and in 2022, Thai children playing games are in 2nd place in the world. But the problem faced with Thai education today is that children like to play games and think that they can study in the field of computers. But, in fact, students are not directed into the technology field taking into account their own aptitudes. causing the study to be not fully effective and some leave their courses midway. Therefore, this research is interested in the Confirmation factors of children playing games by collecting data on Gamers’ Total Experience and Game Motivation in order to analyze the data and discover the confirmation factors that direct the admissions to various computer disciplines. What direction and aptitude do you need to be able to enter a group of computer science disciplines in order to become a Digital Manpower in the country’s future development. The researcher has collected data from a sample of 630 people from all six groups in computer science. The confirmation factor was analyzed by
the LISREL program. It was found that each group of computer disciplines had different confirmation factors.
