Enhancing Teaching Competency of Young Teachers through a Cognitive Apprenticeship Workshop Model

Zhao Ming, Jian Qin — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study addresses critical deficiencies in current teacher education programs, particularly the inadequate training in art criticism theory that impedes the professional development of early-career educators in design disciplines. To bridge this gap, we developed and evaluated a novel "workshop-cognitive apprenticeship" hybrid model that synergizes expert mentorship, authentic pedagogical tasks, and collaborative learning mechanisms. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving six young teachers and 140 students from an art design department, randomly assigned to either the experimental (workshop model) or control (traditional training) condition. Over a 10-week intervention, the workshop model implemented three scaffolded phases: (1) modeling-observation through multimedia demonstrations, (2) construction-practice with real classroom implementation, and (3) guidance-generalization via reflective discourse.
The research results found that:
Quantitative analysis revealed statistically superior outcomes for the experimental group across multiple metrics: lesson plan standardization (p < .01), theoretical application depth (p < .05), and classroom interaction quality (p < .01). Corresponding student cohorts demonstrated significantly greater improvement in art criticism competencies (post-test M = 4.01 vs. 2.53, p < .001). Qualitative data identified three success mediators: the "demonstration-scaffolding-reflection" cognitive loop, situated learning in authentic contexts, and anxiety reduction through expert collaboration.These findings substantiate the model's efficacy in transforming teacher preparation paradigms. The study contributes both theoretically - by expanding cognitive apprenticeship applications in higher education, and practically - through a replicable training framework. We recommend institutional adoption of this approach with longitudinal evaluation to assess skill retention. Future research should examine scalability across disciplines and the synergistic effects of technological integration in apprenticeship models.

Phra Kru Sopanphattana Bandit (Sompong Thanissaro) — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

At the same time, this ordination ritual fosters community bonds and unity, as participants collectively engage in merit-making and spiritual practice.

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This academic article aims to find the answer to the question of how the hyperreality of Thai Buddhists to funeral rite management in digital society can be analyzed and what the appropriate solution should be. The results of the study found that in addition to the many expenses in various matters, funerals nowadays also contain unnecessary expenses and the problem of funerals that result in waste in various aspects.

Consumer culture privileges the image over the content or the product itself. The solution to the problem of hyperreality in the management of funerals of Thai Buddhists in the digital society is to live with wisdom in this meditation on death awareness. By considering the disadvantages of death, Buddhism teaches people to know how to think or consider the way of thinking in terms of advantages, disadvantages and solutions, and also to apply the philosophy of the sufficiency economy as a means of knowing oneself, moderation of oneself, living life by creating happiness based on the reality of each person by not harming both oneself and others, and aiming to create value and benefits for oneself and society based on understanding the truth of life, accessing all things with wisdom and developing quality of life on a moral basis for peaceful coexistence.
