The Educational Innovator of Secondary School Teachers in Education Sandbox

2025-05-29T06:34:46+07:00

This study proposes a conceptual framework for educational management within educational innovation areas, emphasizing the development of educational innovativeness among secondary school teachers. Educational innovativeness is conceptualized as comprising two interrelated dimensions: the dispositional and behavioral aspects. Drawing on the Interactionism Model, the study identifies three categories of influencing factors—social-situational, personal-dispositional, and situational-dispositional—as potential determinants of teachers’ innovativeness. These factors are posited to inform strategic planning for enhancing teachers’ capacity to generate and implement educational innovations. Teachers exhibiting high levels of innovativeness not only contribute to elevating educational quality within innovation zones but also gain increased confidence in designing novel instructional practices. The causal relationships among these factors are expected to predict levels of teacher innovativeness and thereby foster the broader advancement of innovative capacity within secondary schools situated in educational innovation areas.

Yoga Practices in the Kaṭha-Upaniṣad

2025-08-18T13:35:59+07:00

The ultimate goal of yoga is to escape from the cycle of birth and death. Yoga in the Upaniṣads emphasizes the Ātman, Jivātman, Paramātman and Brahman. It is a practice that uses the mind to control the Indrīya (consciousness). The Kaṭha-Upaniṣad, one of the 108 Upanishads, contains many interesting Hindu philosophical teachings, especially on yoga or meditation. The content of the scripture tells the story through two people: Yama as the teacher and Najiketa as the listener. Yama explains how to meditate to examine oneself, to distinguish opposites from each other, to control emotions and senses, to focus inward, to restrain speech, to unite the mind with wisdom, and to have the ultimate God, Brahman, as the goal. Most importantly, practicing yoga requires diligence and discipline. Practitioners will have to face many tests and obstacles before finding the path to success, which is the attainment of enlightenment.

The experimental group received a 12-session intervention over four weeks, with three 90-minute sessions per week, while the control group received no intervention. Data was analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA with one between-subjects factor and one within-subjects factor. Bonferroni pairwise comparisons were used to examine significant differences. The findings revealed that: 1) students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher attention scores than those in the control group (p < .05); 2) the differences remained statistically significant at follow-up; 3) post-intervention scores within the experimental group were significantly higher than pre-intervention scores; and 4) follow-up scores were also significantly higher than baseline scores (p < .05). These results suggest that a board game-based instructional approach aligned with constructionism may be beneficial in promoting attention among lower secondary school students. students.

Effects of the Payment of Loan Interest by a Debtor Where the Creditor Charges Interest Exceeding the Statutory Rate

2026-02-24T12:22:32+07:00

This academic article aims to study the legal effects of the payment of loan interest by a debtor in cases where the creditor charges interest exceeding the rate prescribed by law, regardless of whether the loan is made in the form of a loan agreement, a borrowing contract, or a money loan contract. Such contracts constitute a type of consumable loan as provided under the Civil and Commercial Code, Book III, Specific Contracts, Title IX: Loan. The study focuses on money loan agreements entered into between private individuals, examining the relevant legal provisions under Title IX: Loan, particularly those relating to money lending. This includes Section 653 of the Civil and Commercial Code, which requires that a loan must be evidenced in writing and signed by the borrower as essential evidence, and which allows the parties to agree on interest or not. Where interest is agreed upon, Section 654 prohibits charging interest exceeding the rate of 15 percent per annum. The study also analyzes relevant Supreme Court judgments concerning money lending. The findings indicate that where a private individual (who is not a financial institution) lends money and agrees to charge interest exceeding 15 percent per annum, such an agreement on interest is unlawful and constitutes a criminal offense under Section 4 of the Prohibition of Charging Excessive Interest Act B.E. 2560 (2017). Consequently, the agreement is entirely void, not merely void in respect of the portion of interest exceeding the statutory rate. As a result, a borrower who has already paid interest exceeding the legal rate is unable to bring an action to recover the excess interest paid, as such payment is deemed to be a performance of an obligation in violation of a statutory prohibition under Section 411 of the Civil and Commercial Code. At the same time, the creditor has no right to receive interest exceeding the rate prescribed by law. Therefore, any amount received by the creditor as excess interest must be applied toward the repayment of the principal instead. With regard to default interest, if the borrower is in default, the creditor is entitled to charge default interest at the rate agreed upon in the contract, provided that such rate does not exceed the rate prescribed by law. Currently, the statutory rate of default interest is 5 percent per annum.

Hybrid Language Practices and Linguistic Errors in the Linguistic Landscape of Nakhon Sawan

2026-01-07T14:52:37+07:00

This paper presents an empirical study of the linguistic landscape of Nakhon Sawan, examining language use, mixing, prominence, and errors in public signage. A total of 200 signs were analysed, revealing that bilingual signs predominated (62%), followed by monolingual signs (33%; Thai 24.5%, English 8.5%) and trilingual signs (5%). Thai was the dominant language across all sign types, while English served as the principal secondary language, reflecting both communicative functions and symbolic associations with globalization, modernity, and prestige. Analysis of monolingual and bilingual signs showed frequent language mixing through lexical borrowing, transliteration, and syntactic influence from English. Language prominence, assessed via font size, placement, colour, and visual hierarchy, identified Thai as visually dominant in 81.34% of cases. Across all signage types, 194 linguistic errors were found in 147 signs, with word choice, spacing, and capitalization errors most common. Although these errors seldom cause serious misunderstandings, they may occasionally distort meaning or produce unintended humor. Overall, the findings highlight a hybridized and dynamic linguistic landscape in Nakhon Sawan, reflecting the balance between communicative functionality and symbolic expressions of globalization and local identity, and offer practical implications for effective signage design in Thailand.

Educational Leadership for Social Justice: A Strategic Framework for Equity and Inclusion in School Administration

2026-03-06T10:40:58+07:00

This academic article aims to analyze the essential components of leadership that promote social justice in educational institutions and to present a comprehensive strategic framework encompassing policy, instructional management, and community engagement. In the current global educational landscape, characterized by deepening structural inequalities, educational leadership for social justice has evolved from an ideological preference to a strategic necessity. This study utilizes a qualitative synthesis of contemporary international literature to deconstruct power dynamics within school administration through the lenses of Critical Theory and Transformative Leadership. The proposed “Collaborative Framework for Social Justice Leadership” (CFSJL) is anchored in four pivotal dimensions: 1) Policy and Governance, focusing on deconstructing inequitable regulations and implementing equity-based budgeting; 2) Instructional and Pedagogical Leadership, advocating for Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL); 3) Community and Stakeholder Agency, emphasizing the creation of critical dialogue spaces and the transformation of schools into “Community Hubs”; and 4) Capacity Building and Critical Consciousness, aimed at mitigating implicit biases among educators. The discussion highlights the inherent tension between standardized accountability and social justice, arguing that true academic excellence cannot exist without structural equity. The study concludes that for this framework to be sustainable, educational authorities must shift from traditional administrative oversight to “Advocacy Leadership.” Key policy implications include the reform of school administrator evaluations to incorporate “Equity Metrics,” such as the reduction of achievement gaps for marginalized groups and increased sense of belonging. Future research should prioritize longitudinal and cross-cultural studies in remote or diverse contexts to refine the framework’s applicability. Ultimately, this article asserts that when administrators transition from bureaucratic functionaries to educational activists, schools can function as primary agents for social equity and sustainable societal change.

However, the budgetary aspect exhibited the lowest mean compared to other factors. 2. Concerning the process factors, the overall and item-level analyses demonstrated that the conditions of the reading promotion project were at a high level across all aspects. Nevertheless, activity implementation showed the lowest mean in comparison to other factors.3. In terms of project outputs, the overall and item-level analyses indicated that the conditions of the reading promotion project were at a high level for all aspects. Notably, students' reading habits and learning engagement presented the lowest mean when compared to other factors. For guidelines in developing the implementation of the reading promotion project in each aspect, it is suggested that educational institutions should establish mechanisms for resource sharing among schools within the academic group to reduce costs and enhance project efficiency. Furthermore, promoting participation among students, teachers, parents, the community, and external agencies through diverse reading activities is recommended. Establishing a reading community that provides opportunities for learners to exchange reading experiences collaboratively, creating networks among schools, and organizing group reading activities in both online and offline formats are also proposed to foster a participatory reading culture.

Teachers’ Beliefs and Teaching Strategies to Enhance Learner Autonomy in English Language Teaching in China

2025-07-13T16:13:45+07:00

This study aimed to (1) explore college English teachers' beliefs about learner autonomy and (2) identify the teaching strategies that college English teachers adopt to promote their students’ learner autonomy. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research selected 92 teachers from a total of 120 English teachers at College A in Henan Province after a random sampling technique was used based on the formula of Krejcie and Morgan. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, while semi-structured interviews were analyzed with Litchman’s 3Cs Cycle. The findings revealed significant insights into the pivotal role of teachers' beliefs in fostering learner autonomy. College English teachers widely recognized the importance of learner autonomy in enhancing language learning efficiency, with the belief that it effectively promotes language learning (Mean = 4.41, SD = 0.87). These teachers recognized that teaching strategies encouraged self-regulated learning (Mean = 4.23, SD = 0.866) and fostered critical thinking skills (Mean = 4.37, SD = 0.75). Quantitative findings revealed a significant correlation between teachers’ beliefs and their adoption of specific teaching strategies. Educators with stronger learner autonomy (LA) beliefs demonstrated a clear preference for learner-centered methods, such as inquiry-based learning and collaborative approaches. Qualitative interviews further illuminated the diverse strategies employed to foster LA, including technology integration in the classroom, the design of personalized learning paths, and the creation of collaborative tasks. However, the study also identified challenges, namely accurately assessing students’ autonomy levels and striking a balance between providing guidance and encouraging independence. The study emphasized the importance of continuous innovation in curriculum design, technological application, and cultural sensitivity to support the dynamic development of learner autonomy. It offered valuable theoretical and practical insights for reforming college English teaching and suggested that future studies should focus on expanding sample diversity and deepening the application of mixed methods research.
