BREAK DOWN THE POVERTY TRAP WITH FREE EDUCATIONAL GRANTS IN VOCATIONAL CAREER

Prasert Kenpankho — 2023-12-26

This review article shows the way to break down the poverty trap in Thailand. The main issue that leads to poverty trap is low-income jobs, lack of access to quality education, restrictions on access to credit and financial services, inadequate social safety networks, and the transmission of intergenerational poverty. Many Thai households are stuck in low-wage jobs that provide limited financial security and lack of mobility. These jobs often lack benefits, job security, and advancement opportunities, resulting in households struggling to escape poverty despite hard work. According to the author ‘s work as the support team for the equitable education fund (EEF), the way to break down the poverty trap is to give free educational grants in vocational career.

Peerapong Phetjan — 2023-12-26

This research has developed an instructional package on construction materials using a board game and the MIAP learning process to enhance student achievement. This study is experimental research. The population consisted of 570 students in their second year at a vocational institution. They were randomly selected for use the study via cluster random sampling. Each of two sample groups consisted of 30 individuals. The first group, a control group, consisted of students who learner using conventional methods. The second group, an experimental group, that learns through a researcher – created instructional package. The research instruments included 1) lesson plans, 2) a board game on constructional materials, 3) a questionnaire on an instructional package, and 4) a four–option multiple-choice test for assessing learning achievement in construction materials. Thirty items had an IOC between 0.25 and 0.50, and a reliability of 0.63. Data analysis utilized the mean, standard deviation, and t-test, as a consequence of the development of the instructional package for construction materials consisted of seven sections, which received the highest rating in expert evaluation. The comparison of learning achievement between the control group and the experimental group revealed that the learning achievement of the experimental group students was significantly higher than that of the control group at the .05 level.

Suphamas Suphaphon — 2023-12-26

This research, a percussion instrument, is designed with the purpose to help raise the level of relaxation music activities using instruments to accompany the extent of the body’s rhythmic sound of Carl Orff teachings. The selected sample group of 30 participants, who began to practice playing percussion instruments at the Duak Music. They were asked to identify the most suitable percussion for each body part based on the type of clay bodies and glazes fired at 1200 °C. The choice of statistics used were mean, standard deviation, and percentage. The results showed that the lip pattern is related to the reverberation, and the tone is related to the thickness of the casting, the overlapping of clay bodies, and the knocking on the bottom of the uncoated part of the product which yielded a narrow sound. As a result, the sound is clear when knocking on the metal head. There were four designs of the percussion instruments. In summary, the satisfactory level rated by experts a percussion instrument, with the fingers “type 2” was very appropriate ( = 4.00, SD = 0.97). As for hands “type 3”, it showed a very high degree of suitability ( = 3.98, SD = 1.08). As for the upper legs, the 3rd form was very appropriate ( = 4.01, SD = 0.80) and for the feet portion, the first model had a very high level of suitability ( = 3.97, SD = 0.93). Regarding the satisfaction toward simplicity among the beginner percussion, it was found that the finger part had a high level of satisfaction ( = 4.07). On the hand, there was a high level of satisfaction ( = 3.81). The upper-leg part had high level of satisfaction ( = 3.74), and the feet part had a high level of satisfaction ( = 3.79).
