Natcha Sirikhvunchai — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study presents a Conceptual Design-Based Research (DBR) framework entitled the Play–Act–Feel (PAF) Model, aimed at fostering environmental consciousness among Generation Alpha children (ages 7–9). The model is synthesized from established theoretical frameworks including Head–Heart–Hands Model, Social–Emotional Learning (SEL), Experiential Learning, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), all of which contribute significantly to child development yet lack a systematic integration of play, action, and emotional reflection.

Through theoretical synthesis, this paper proposes the PAF Model as a conceptual framework linking these three dimensions of learning to cultivate pro-environmental values and behaviors. Examples such as learning games, mobile applications, and reflective activities are discussed to illustrate the model’s potential for bridging emotional engagement with environmental action. The framework is also contextualized within the Thai educational landscape, which faces simultaneous challenges of environmental crisis and the need for social–emotional development in children.

This paper contributes theoretically by expanding existing learning models to encompass emotional and playful dimensions, and practically by offering a design-oriented approach to sustainable education within the Thai context.

Phongyut Junthong — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Offset printing on glossy white PVC stickers often suffers from slow drying due to the substrate’s inability to absorb ink. This study investigates the effect of adding drying accelerators to offset ink on drying time and print quality. Test charts were printed using a four-color offset press, comparing conventional ink without drying accelerators, ink mixed with 3%, 5%, and 15% drying accelerators, and a commercially available quick-dry ink. Print quality was evaluated in terms of drying time, gloss, fine line sharpness, small text legibility, 40% halftone dot reproduction, rub resistance, and adhesion (tape test). Results revealed that offset ink with 3% drying accelerator dried 57.65% faster than conventional ink while maintaining comparable print quality. However, excessive use of drying accelerators negatively affected adhesion and overall print performance. It is therefore recommended that drying accelerators be used at no more than 3% when printing on PVC stickers.
