It serves as a foundation for humans to view the world and the things around them, guiding their thought processes and actions in life. Philosophical paradigms aim to propose ideas on development, paradigm shifts, and philosophical paradigms for human development. As times change, old paradigms must be re-examined and updated to align with the present and future circumstances. A new paradigm can emerge only when the existing paradigm is no longer effective in solving problems or responding to human development.
2. The study of hell and heaven in Thai society found that the concepts of hell and heaven in Thai society are viewed from multiple dimensions, such as the realms or planes of existence and sensory faculties (āyatanas). Belief in these concepts often manifests as faith and devotion, leading to the creation of religious literature, such as the Mahāchat Kham Luang, Vessantara Jātaka, Phra Mālai Kham Luang, and various Jātaka tales. Additionally, belief in deities, spirits, or sacred beings is also present in many Thai literary works, such as the Traibhumikathā (the Three Worlds), which discusses Hell and Heaven. These beliefs reflect the influence of Buddhism in Thai society, where the promotion of generosity and charity serves as a means to attain heaven. However, as Thai society evolved and scientific knowledge from the Western world began to infiltrate contemporary thought, traditional beliefs have been reinterpreted to fit the modern era.

An analysis of the paradigms of hell and heaven in Thai society through a philosophical concepts found that the understanding of beliefs serves as a foundational way of perceiving the world and reality. Paradigms change according to time and place, and they can transcend limitations to help ensure human existence. Thai ancestors embraced Buddhism as a guiding practice since Sukhothai kingdom, continuing through Lanna Kingdom, Ayutthaya kingdom, and Rattanakosin kingdom respectively, making Buddhism deeply intertwined with Thai society. Thai adopted Buddhist principles as a guiding framework for life, which became ingrained in cultural practices and traditions. These traditions are so integrated that it would be nearly impossible to separate Buddhism from Thai society.

Situation-Based Security Learning Packages Design

Xingwei He — 2025-06-26

This study focuses on the design of “Situation-Based Security Learning Packages” aimed at enhancing security education effectiveness through situational learning theory. Current challenges in security education for college students include varying levels of interest in security knowledge and a gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. The study aims to develop and implement situational security education packages to enhance students' knowledge, coping skills, and engagement in learning. The research commenced with a needs assessment and objective identification for security education among college students. Learning packages were designed based on situational learning theory, covering topics such as national, public, personal, property, fire, traffic, psychological, and laboratory security. Each topic includes sections on introduction, objectives, activities, resources, and evaluation modules. These are designed to simulate real security scenarios for experiential learning. The effectiveness of these learning packages was evaluated by seven experts who assessed the relevance of teaching topics, richness of resources, and practicality of activities. A preliminary experiment involving five college students demonstrated a significant increase in both enthusiasm for learning and awareness of security issues. The results indicate that these packages effectively enhance students' awareness of security issues, their ability to cope with security challenges, and their overall interest in learning. Future developments could expand the scope of content covered and integrate modern technologies such as virtual and augmented reality to further improve learning outcomes.

Assessment of Art Criticism Competency Needs of Students in the Art and Design Department of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages

Zhao Ming — 2025-06-26

The purpose of this article was to explore the views of students from the Art Design Department of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages on art criticism theory. Art criticism is one of the four fundamental disciplines of discipline-based art education. It refers to a systematic and organized approach to studying artworks through viewing and discussing art, involving the description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment of artworks. Through the studio practice of classroom art criticism activities, teachers in the design department organize students to interpret and evaluate their own art works, integrating art criticism theory with studio practice. This study uses 140 first-year graphic design students from GUFL as the experimental sample and employs Feldman's art criticism model to conduct critical analysis of artworks. The collected experimental data is analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistical techniques. Scores are considered in the form of average scores and frequencies to determine students' performance in critical thinking skills. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between students' studio practice and their scores in art critical thinking ability. Through brainstorming, questionnaires, and in-class tests, the current level of art criticism ability of 140 students is investigated. The research result found that: By explaining the importance of art criticism ability, students become aware of its significance, and a questionnaire is used to survey the expectations of 140 students regarding art criticism ability. By analyzing the current level and expectations of students' art criticism ability, the gap between them is identified. The findings of this study suggest that articulating the significance of art criticism competencies enables students to comprehensively recognize their importance. Furthermore, an analysis of the current status and contextual conditions of art criticism skills facilitates the derivation of informed conclusions. This approach provides a systematic framework for assessing students' needs, thereby enabling the development of effective models or strategies for art evaluation within art and design education programs.
