Abstract

The development of a learning management model under the Buddhist ways to promote life skills and public consciousness, with learning materials on the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, aimed to 1) study the conditions and problems of learning management, 2) develop a learning management model, 3) test the learning management model, and 4) evaluate the learning management model. The sample group consisted of 25 grade 6 students at Tesaban School 4 (Ban Lamsai), selected by cluster sampling. The research instruments were interviews, learning management models, learning materials, achievement tests, life skills and public consciousness assessments, and satisfaction surveys. Data were analyzed using Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, and a T-test and presented in a descriptive format.

The research showed that:

1. Study Results of the conditions and problems of learning management for Social Studies Subject on the curriculum revealed that students should be taught about the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Regarding conditions and problems of teachers' learning management, they were not connected to real life and lacked public consciousness. Students learned by focusing on memorization without the public mind. Therefore, learning management must allow students to practice and have the opportunity to learn together with their friends through facing situations and creating knowledge. This will enable students to develop life skills and public consciousness.


2. The results of developing a learning management model based on the Buddhist ways to promote life skills and public consciousness with learning materials on the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, had the efficiency at 84.29/81.77.


3. The experiment's results, using a learning management model based on Buddhist ways to promote life skills and public consciousness with learning materials on the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, found that students had higher academic achievement after studying than before.


4. Overall, the evaluation results of students' life skills, public consciousness, and satisfaction were at a good level or higher.
