Wei Sun , Patthira Phon-ngam — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Music general education in private universities located in China’s ethnic regions is often limited by curriculum constraints, insufficient resources, and varying levels of teaching quality. These challenges reduce the potential of music education to support broader academic and personal development among non-music majors. This study aimed to: (1) examine the current situation and problems of music teaching at Guizhou Qiannan Economic College; (2) provide guidelines for using music to improve students’ learning efficiency; (3) develop learning effectiveness through structured music studies; and (4) evaluate the outcomes of the music-based intervention. An embedded mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data were collected from 390 students through a structured questionnaire, while qualitative data were obtained from interviews with 25 music teachers and 10 students, classroom observations, and document analysis. A 16-week Kodály–Orff integrated program was implemented with 39 student volunteers to test the proposed guidelines and measure changes in learning effectiveness. Findings show that students perceive teacher competence positively, yet curriculum design, learning resources, and participation opportunities remain only moderate. The developed guidelines emphasize emotional engagement, cultural relevance, and alignment between music activities and learning tasks. Evaluation of the 16-week intervention indicates improvements across cognitive, affective, behavioural, and music-skill dimensions. Participants also demonstrated a significant increase in semester GPA, suggesting positive academic spillover effects. The study concludes that structured and culturally responsive music studies can effectively enhance learning effectiveness in ethnic regional colleges.

The confirmation results showed high levels of agreement among experts and students across all five evaluation criteria, indicating that social media-based learning is effective, practical, ethically appropriate, accurate, and cost-effective. Overall, the results confirm that social media can be effectively utilized as an innovative and sustainable approach to enhancing students’ academic.

A Study of the Concept of Opposition to the Brahmin Caste in Sanskrit Scriptures

Sudaporn Khiewngamdee — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This academic article aims to analyze the concept of opposition to the Brahmin caste system as manifested in Sanskrit scriptures across different eras. The study reveals that the caste system possessed dynamic characteristics and underwent continuous ideological transitions. During the Vedic period, caste functioned as "open classes," where flexibility prevailed, and emphasis was placed on conduct and occupation rather than birthright. In the Epic and Puranic eras, the legitimacy of the Brahmins began to be questioned; criteria such as "virtue" (vṛtta) and "action" (karma) were proposed to determine an individual's status instead of lineage. Notably, the Bhaviṣya purāṇa employs the logic that all humans share a common father (Lord Brahma) and thus possess inherent equality, much like fruits growing on the same tree. However, during the Dharmashastra period, Brahminical authority was strictly established through the Smriti texts—most notably the Manusmṛti —which decisively defined social status through "birth" and lineage, leading to rigid discrimination. The most systematic resistance is found in the Sanskrit Buddhist literature, specifically Ashvaghosha’s Vajrasūcī. This text utilizes logical reasoning to debunk the belief in birth-based superiority, asserting that caste distinctions are merely social conventions since all humans share identical physical attributes and emotions. In conclusion, the opposition to the Brahmin caste in Sanskrit scriptures reflects the ideological conflict between lineage-based elitism and the concepts of human dignity and social justice in ancient Indian society.

The Teacher's Perspective on Chinese Contemporary Dance at Three Vocational College of Art, Jiangxi Province, The People's Republic of China

Liu Chenyang, Thitinan Charoensloong — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to systematically investigate teachers’ perspectives on music teaching for Chinese contemporary dance in three representative vocational art institutions in Jiangxi Province, China: Jiangxi Vocational College of Art, Nanchang Vocational University, and Nanchang Normal University. The research seeks to examine the current implementation of music teaching within contemporary dance programs, identify core teaching methods shaped by differing institutional orientations, analyze the practical challenges encountered by frontline teachers, and propose targeted strategies to optimize integrated music–dance pedagogy. Focusing on two key dimensions commonly used music types in teaching and practical music teaching methods this study addresses a notable gap in existing research concerning the limited empirical exploration of music–dance teaching practices in regional vocational art colleges and provides both theoretical and practical support for the reform and development of contemporary dance music education in China’s vocational education sector. A qualitative research design was adopted to ensure the authenticity and depth of the findings. Data were collected between August and December 2025 through semi-structured interviews with six key teachers and sustained classroom observations across multiple teaching cycles. All participants met strict selection criteria, including over ten years of teaching experience in Chinese contemporary dance, possession of a doctoral degree in music or dance performance or an associate professor title, and a demonstrated willingness to share professional teaching experiences. Interview protocols covered seven core dimensions: curriculum and teaching objectives, teaching methods, instructional media and tools, classroom environment, evaluation and assessment, practical activities, and student engagement and motivation. Multiple data sources including interview transcripts, classroom observation notes, and curriculum documents were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods to identify key themes, compare institutional practices, and systematically present teachers’ professional understandings and pedagogical experiences. The findings reveal that music-related courses in the three institutions are closely aligned with their respective educational orientations. Jiangxi Vocational College of Art, characterized by vocational specialization, integrates regional folk music resources such as Jiangxi tea-picking opera melodies and traditional drum rhythms into core courses to enhance students’ professional stage performance skills. Nanchang Vocational University, emphasizing industry education integration, focuses on digital music technology and commercial application contexts, equipping students with practical competencies such as audio editing and electronic music matching. Nanchang Normal University, oriented toward teacher education, prioritizes music–dance pedagogy, guiding students to transform professional music knowledge into teachable content suitable for basic education settings. Across institutions, commonly adopted teaching methods include Kodály-based solfège practice to strengthen rhythmic perception and music–movement coordination, demonstration-guided practice that balances standardized instruction with creative exploration, and scenario-based simulation adapted to vocational performance, commercial production, or teaching practice contexts. Despite these strengths, several shared challenges were identified. Many teachers possess strong dance backgrounds but lack systematic formal training in music, which constrains in-depth musical analysis and improvisational accompaniment. Additionally, specialized teaching resources remain insufficient, including a shortage of curated contemporary dance music textbooks, limitations in audio equipment for reproducing complex multilayered soundscapes, and the absence of stable interdisciplinary collaboration mechanisms between music and dance departments. Nevertheless, teachers across all three institutions consistently recognize music as a core expressive component of contemporary dance rather than a mere background element. Teaching practices such as eight-beat rhythm movement phrase creation, campus art exhibitions, and interdisciplinary workshops have effectively enhanced students’ learning motivation, rhythmic sensitivity, movement expressiveness, and understanding of the artistic essence of contemporary dance.

Natthiwut Rodphan, Nontlachatara Viranuvatti, Ranee Esichaikul — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This article employs a qualitative case study approach combined with the synthesis of academic literature and policy documents. The findings reveal that tourism development in the study area lacks systematic integration among food and agricultural resources, stakeholders, tourism activities, and governance mechanisms, resulting in discontinuities within the tourism value chain. The study proposes a tourism ecosystem framework to explain systemic relationships, with case studies from Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces demonstrating that ecosystem-based management can generate destination value across economic, social, cultural, and experiential dimensions in a holistic manner. The knowledge generated from this study contributes to expanding perspectives on tourism policy formulation, shifting the focus from activity-based development toward an integrated understanding of resource linkages, stakeholder networks, and management mechanisms within a territorial context. The findings also provide empirical insights to support the development of gastronomy and agro-tourism policies tailored to local contexts. As a policy recommendation, integrated tourism management should be promoted through collaborative mechanisms among local stakeholders, using the tourism ecosystem as a guiding framework for policy formulation and development planning aligned with local capacities and potentials.

Sirirat Donjuakot, Siwakorn Inphusa, Yingsak Hapa — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This Qualitative Document Analysis (QDA) primarily aimed to analyze change management mechanisms for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in private vocational education institutions. The study had three main objectives: 1) To analyze strategic mechanisms based on established change management steps; 2) To identify context-specific success factors and challenges; and 3) To synthesize actionable recommendations for AI innovation management. The research proceeded in three phases, utilizing Kotter's 8-Step Model for deductive analysis to extract evidence emphasizing market urgency and establishing an AI-Embedded Vision. Findings revealed the successful mechanism is the “Cost-Benefit Driven Hybrid Change Mechanism.” This model modifies Kotter's steps by using Entrepreneurial Leadership to consolidate implementation phases for rapid deployment. The key success factor identified was Cost-Effectiveness Management, focusing on achieving Return on Investment (ROI) in the short term. Conversely, critical challenges include staff anxiety about being replaced in practical skills streams and the high fluctuation of AI-skilled personnel due to competition from industry. Actionable recommendations synthesized from the study include establishing an “Innovation ROI Evaluation Unit” and continuously investing in “AI Micro-Credentialing Programs” for existing personnel to build sustainability and mitigate resistance. The results confirm and expand the understanding of change management theory within resource-constrained, market-driven organizations.

Reasons and Factors Influencing Cinema Attendance: A Comparative Study of Chinese and Thai Moviegoers

Mingqiang Zhu — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

In the era of digital media, cinema remains a unique cultural and social venue despite the convenience of streaming platforms. This study investigates the factors influencing cinema-going behavior in Hangzhou, China, and Bangkok, Thailand, with a focus on price, location, facilities, service quality, film genres, and scheduling. Drawing on the 4P marketing framework, a mixed-method approach was adopted. Questionnaires were distributed to 200 respondents, equally divided between the two cities, and supported by secondary literature. The findings reveal both shared patterns and culturally specific differences in cinema-going behavior. Audiences in both cities value seat comfort, cinema facilities, and film variety, yet cultural dimensions shape preferences differently: Hangzhou audiences emphasize religion and language, while Bangkok audiences highlight cuisine and local identity. Gender and age also play distinct roles in cinema-going frequency. Post-pandemic evidence indicates a clear recovery in audience satisfaction, reaffirming cinema’s resilience as a shared social and cultural space. This research contributes to comparative media consumption studies by highlighting cross-cultural variations and provides practical recommendations for cinema operators.

Development of Academic Leadership of Secondary School Teachers in the Eastern Economic Corridor

Khintila Hiranmekhanon — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This article aims to present a management approach for developing the instructional leadership of secondary school teachers in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), a strategic development area covering three eastern provinces of Thailand Rayong, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao, which plays a key role in driving national development under the 20 Year National Strategy (2018–2037). The approach underscores the centrality of teachers as a primary mechanism for enhancing educational quality and standards; therefore, teachers must be supported in shifting their roles from classroom instructors to competent instructional leaders. In this regard, teachers’ academic leadership comprises five key components: (1) vision, (2) curriculum development, (3) learning management, (4) professional collaboration and peer development, and (5) professional role modeling. At the same time, developing such leadership requires systematic support from both internal and external factors. Internal factors include self-efficacy, work commitment, decisiveness, and communication skills, whereas external factors include supervisory support, leadership role models, and the work climate. The Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) quality management cycle is applied as a principal driving mechanism for continuous improvement to elevate educational quality and to develop human capital aligned with the local context, regional needs, and the country’s overall development direction.

Research on Yunnan Tropical Rainforest Themes in the Modern Transformation of Contemporary Chinese Flower-and-Bird Painting

Huizhe Zhang — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Within the context of the modern transformation of contemporary Chinese painting, the Yunnan tropical rainforest theme in flower-and-bird painting has become an important site for observing subject expansion and language renewal. This study adopts a literature review approach combined with bibliometric overview and thematic synthesis to map research hotspots, knowledge structures, and developmental trends. It finds that while existing studies are rich in historical narration and stylistic case analysis, they remain weak in clarifying conceptual boundaries, explaining the transformation from local ecological experience to visual language, and theorizing field sketches and interviews. Accordingly, this paper proposes a future research agenda that reorganizes case materials into comparable analytical dimensions and constructs an explanatory chain linking ecological experience, modes of observation, image construction, and brushwork–color relationships, while incorporating institutional and technological factors to enhance explanatory depth.

The Development of a Self-Efficacy Measurement Tool and an Assessment Framework for Academic English-Speaking Ability among EFL Pre-Service Teachers

Ranya Jitardhan, Phitcharie Koanamsai — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Academic English-speaking competence and strong self-efficacy are essential for EFL pre-service teachers, yet context-specific instruments that assess both performance and self-beliefs remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to (1) develop a performance-based Academic English-Speaking Assessment (AESA) and (2) develop and preliminarily validate the Self-Efficacy in Academic English-Speaking Scale (SE-AESS) for EFL pre-service teachers. The AESA was adapted from the authentic assessment framework proposed by O’Malley and Pierce (1996) and the analytic speaking rubric developed by Syahidah and Umasugi (2021). The SE-AESS was constructed based on Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory, encompassing both perceived academic English-speaking self-efficacy and its four sources: mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and somatic and emotional states. Content validity of both instruments was evaluated by three experts in educational psychology, English language teaching, and applied linguistics. The SE-AESS demonstrated excellent content validity, with item–objective congruence (IOC) values ranging from 0.80 to 1.00, while the AESA showed IOC values between 0.88 and 0.93. Reliability analysis revealed good internal consistency for the academic English-speaking self-efficacy dimension (α = 0.851) and moderate reliability for the sources of self-efficacy dimension (α = 0.554). Both instruments achieved the minimum psychometric requirements for early-stage instrument development, even though the latter reflected the multidimensional and experiential nature of the construct. The AESA and SE-AESS together provide a comprehensive framework for assessing both observable academic English-speaking performance and learners’ self-efficacy beliefs. In order to improve academic English-speaking competency among EFL pre-service teachers in ASEAN and multicultural contexts, these tools may be crucial for assessment and instructional design.

From Nationalization to Regionality: A Thematic Review of Chinese Landscape Oil Painting Studies

Heng Wang — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Landscape oil painting has played a significant role in the development of modern Chinese art, serving as an important site for negotiating cultural identity, aesthetic values, and spatial experience. Over the past decades, scholarly research on Chinese landscape oil painting has expanded from early discussions of nationalization to more diversified approaches focusing on expressive aesthetics, formal language, and regionality. However, existing studies remain theoretically fragmented, with descriptive analysis often outweighing explanatory synthesis. This article presents a thematic literature review of research on Chinese landscape oil painting. Drawing on representative Chinese and selected English-language scholarship, the review organizes existing studies into four interrelated research strands: nationalization discourse, expressive aesthetics and artistic conception, formal language and technical strategies, and regionality studies. Through critical synthesis, the article traces the evolution of theoretical perspectives and identifies persistent limitations, including the lack of mechanism-oriented analysis and the uneven distribution of regional research. Special attention is given to studies on Guizhou landscape oil painting as an underexplored research area. The limited and fragmented nature of existing scholarship on Guizhou highlights broader structural issues within regional landscape oil painting studies in China. Based on this analysis, the article argues for a shift from descriptive characterization toward integrative and mechanism-based approaches that link environmental experience, aesthetic mediation, and visual form. By clarifying theoretical trajectories and proposing future research directions, this review aims to contribute to a more coherent framework for understanding regional diversity in Chinese landscape oil painting and to support further interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersection of art, culture, and education.

The Cross-Cultural User Reception Mechanism of Thai Commercials in the Chinese Social Media Context: A Grounded Theory Study of Douyin Comments

Zhongrui Mao — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the mechanism through which Thai commercials are received on Chinese short-video platforms, with particular attention to how “foreignness” is transformed into comprehension, empathy, and diffusion through comment interaction. Using user comments on Thai-advertising-related videos on Douyin as qualitative data, the study adopts a constructivist grounded theory approach (open, axial, and selective coding) to develop a process model structured by the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S–O–R) logic. Findings show that users first form three-dimensional content perceptions—narrative structure, audiovisual presentation, and cultural features (Stimulus)—then engage in dual-pathway processing through emotional experience and meaning understanding (Organism), and finally externalize reception via a cost-tiered ladder of behaviors from liking and brief appraisal to saving, recommending, and sharing (Response). Cultural translation (Chinese subtitles and creator narration) functions as both a threshold-reducing and frame-providing condition, strengthening conversion from internal processing to outward diffusion. Two relatively stable pathways are further synthesized: an emotion-driven path associated with fast engagement and short-cycle diffusion, and a meaning-driven path supporting saving and sustained circulation. The study contributes an evidence-chain-based mechanism explanation for cross-cultural advertising in platform settings and highlights “enterability” as a practical lens for understanding cross-cultural communication on short-video platforms.

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) examine the efficiency of an instructional package designed to promote public mindedness based on the Four Principles of Sa gahavatthu through cooperative learning in the Civic Education course for Grade 8 students at Romklao School, Nong Bua Lamphu Province, according to the 80/80 efficiency criterion; (2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning through the instructional package; and (3) evaluate students’ satisfaction toward the instructional package designed to promote public mindedness based on the Four Principles of Sa gahavatthu through cooperative learning in the Civic Education course. The research employed an experimental design using the One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The target population consisted of 33 students selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included: (1) a public-mindedness behavior assessment form, (2) six cooperative learning lesson plans, and (3) a satisfaction questionnaire toward the instructional package. The statistical methods used for data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the dependent t-test.

The research results were as follows:

1. The developed instructional package on promoting public mindedness based on the Four Principles of Sa gahavatthu through cooperative learning in the Civic Education course for Grade 8 students at Romklao School, Nong Bua Lamphu Province demonstrated efficiency (E1/E2). The learning process efficiency (E1) was 50.24 out of 60 points (83.74%, S.D. = 3.04), while the post-learning efficiency (E2) was 114.79 out of 126 points (91.10%, S.D. = 15.45). The overall efficiency of the instructional package was therefore 83.74/91.10, which exceeded the standard criterion of 80/80.
2. The comparison of learning achievement before and after the implementation of the instructional package revealed that the pretest mean score was 87.24 out of 126 points (S.D. = 15.16), whereas the posttest mean score increased to 114.79 out of 126 points (S.D. = 15.45). The mean difference between pretest and posttest scores was 27.58 (S.D. = 12.40), with statistical results showing t(32) = 12.90, p < .001. This indicates that students’ learning achievement after the learning activities was significantly higher than before the learning activities at the .01 level of significance, demonstrating that the developed instructional package effectively enhanced students’ knowledge and understanding of public mindedness.
3. The analysis of students’ satisfaction toward the development of public mindedness based on the Four Principles of Sa gahavatthu through cooperative learning in the Civic Education course revealed that overall satisfaction across four aspects was at the highest level ( = 4.82, S.D. = 0.32). When considering each aspect individually, all aspects were rated at the highest level. The aspect with the highest mean score was teaching ( = 4.85, S.D. = 0.23), followed by learning activities ( = 4.84, S.D. = 0.35), measurement and evaluation ( = 4.81, S.D. = 0.48), and learning content ( = 4.76, S.D. = 0.32), respectively.

Phudit Thipsirisakdikorn, Sakchai Nirunthavee — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the levels of teacher participation in developing internal quality assurance activities within educational institutions, and 2) to compare these participation levels based on individual factors, including gender, age, educational attainment, work experience, academic position, and learning department. The research sample consisted of 144 teachers from schools within the Navasirinakarin Consortium, under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Bangkok 2, for the 2025 academic year. The sample size was determined through power analysis using G*Power 3.1, and participants were selected via stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire comprising 75 items, with a total reliability coefficient of .98. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and hypothesis testing via One-way ANOVA.

The research findings were as follows

The overall and individual aspects of teacher participation in developing internal quality assurance activities were at a high level. Ranked by mean scores from highest to lowest, the aspects were: implementation of the educational development plan, follow-up and quality development, formulation of the educational development plan, evaluation and internal quality audit, and establishment of educational standards, respectively.
The comparative analysis revealed that teachers with different genders, ages, educational attainments, academic positions, and learning departments did not significantly differ in their overall or individual aspects of participation. However, teachers with different work experiences showed a statistically significant difference in their overall participation at the .05 level. Specifically, differences were found in the areas of evaluation and internal quality audit, and follow-up and quality development.

This research aimed to: (1) study the current state of learning management in Pali III based on the Su–Ji–Pu–Li principles in the Pali Department of Phrapariyattidhamma School, Sanommakhaya Temple Educational Center, Ubon Ratchathani Province; (2) examine the efficiency of learning management plans based on the Su–Ji–Pu–Li principles according to the 80/80 criterion and compare students’ learning achievement; and (3) propose guidelines for developing learning management based on the Su–Ji–Pu–Li principles. The target group consisted of 100 teachers and students. The research instruments included a five-level rating scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 10 key informants. The developed learning management plans were implemented and evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments, as well as a satisfaction questionnaire administered to 20 participants. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, and standard deviation.

The research results were as follows:

The overall state of learning management in Pali III was at a moderate level. Instruction was primarily based on memorization and traditional approaches, which did not sufficiently support the development of listening, thinking, questioning, and writing skills. The developed learning management plans achieved the efficiency criterion of 80/80. Students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores at the .05 level, and students’ overall satisfaction with the learning management was at a high level.

Guidelines for improving learning management include restructuring the curriculum to ensure clarity and systematic integration of the Su–Ji–Pu–Li principles, enhancing teachers’ roles in promoting active learning, supporting the use of digital media and technology for self-directed learning, and improving assessment methods based on authentic evaluation to reflect students’ holistic development.

The Development of an Instructional Model Based on Constructivist Theory to Enhance Creativity in Musical Innovation Among Pre-Service Music Teachers

Panjaporn Anodas — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study employed a mixed methods design with two purposes: 1) to develop an instructional model based on constructivist theory to enhance creativity in musical innovation among pre-service music teachers, and 2) to examine the effectiveness of the developed model. The research comprised two phases. Phase 1 was a qualitative pre-experimental study using in-depth interviews with five key informants — two instructors of innovation courses and three supervising/mentor teachers — to explore the meaning, causes, and instructional guidelines that promote musical innovation creativity skills. Findings were used to construct a six-step instructional model, the CREATE Model (Connect–Reflect–Explore–Apply–Transform–Evaluate), and a 28-item, five-point rating-scale assessment of musical innovation creativity skills covering three components: creative musical thinking, creative collaboration, and successful innovation implementation; both were validated for content validity by experts. Phase 2 was a one-group quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, and a three-week follow-up, conducted with a purposive sample of 20 pre-service music education students at Suphanburi College of Dramatic Arts. The instructional program consisted of six two-hour sessions (12 hours in total). Data were analyzed using one-way repeated-measures ANOVA, supplemented by a post-intervention focus group discussion. Results showed that students' overall musical innovation creativity scores were significantly higher at posttest (X ̅ = 120.45, SD = 1.85) and follow-up (X ̅ = 120.55, SD = 2.28) than at pretest (X ̅ = 79.40, SD = 2.62), F(1.43, 27.25) = 2,896.02, p < .001, partial η² = .993. All three components showed the same pattern of significant, sustained improvement. Qualitative findings corroborated the quantitative results, revealing cognitive, behavioral, and affective changes attributable to hands-on practice, continuous feedback, and a psychologically safe learning climate. The findings indicate that the constructivist-based instructional model effectively and sustainably enhances musical innovation creativity skills among pre-service music teachers and may be applied to courses related to educational innovation development.

In this COVID-19 situation, Bodhipakkha: You can chant, but if you use it, it's even better.

Phra Nattanachai Kanyanadhammo (Chandaphol), Phrakhru Baitikawieng Kittiwanno — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This book review examines “In this COVID-19 situation, Bodhipakkha: You can chant, but if you use it, it is even better” by Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya (P. A. Payutto). The book is organized into three parts: faith as a foundation for social unity and encouragement; wisdom for understanding and applying the Seven Factors of Enlightenment; and practice for integrating them into daily life and work. It explains the seven factors as qualities that cultivate mindfulness, investigation of Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. The review emphasizes that chanting should be accompanied by understanding and actual practice so that the teaching can strengthen morale, improve quality of life, and support a reasoned and sustainable response to the COVID-19 crisis.

The Promotion of Balanced Living Based on the Five Principles of Āyussadhamma: A Case Study of the Elderly in Wat Saensuk Community, Saensuk Subdistrict, Warin Chamrap District, Ubon Ratchathani Province

Suchitra Malai — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research, titled “Enhancing Balanced Living through the Five Principles of Āyussadhamma: A Case Study of Elderly People in the Wat Saensuk Community, Saensuk Subdistrict, Warin Chamrap District, Ubon Ratchathani Province,” aimed to: 1) examine concepts and theories related to promoting balanced living among the elderly; 2) study the Five Principles of Āyussadhamma; and 3) analyze guidelines for enhancing balanced living through the application of these principles within the Wat Saensuk community context.
The findings revealed that 1) balanced living is a crucial factor in improving the overall quality of life of older adults, encompassing physical, mental, social, economic, and environmental dimensions. This aligns with the holistic health concept of the World Health Organization, which emphasizes well-being in physical, mental, and social aspects. Achieving balanced living requires life planning, holistic health care, positive social relationships, and adherence to moral principles. 2) The Five Principles of Āyussadhamma—Sappāyakārī (appropriate conduct), Sappāye-mattaññū (moderation in suitable conditions), Pariṇatabhojī (wise consumption), Kālacārī (timely conduct), and Brahmacārī (virtuous living)—serve as guidelines for promoting longevity with quality. These principles foster healthy habits, reduce risky behaviors, and cultivate mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, leading to physical and mental balance. They can also be effectively integrated with the health promotion policies of the Ministry of Public Health. 3) Analysis of the case study found that the temple serves as a central hub for religious and social activities, supporting healthcare, community participation, and living in accordance with Buddhist philosophy. As a result, older adults are able to develop well-being in four dimensions—physical, mental, social, and environmental—in a balanced, meaningful, and sustainable manner. This approach aligns with the context of Thailand’s aging society, both at present and in the future.

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This article examines the development of laws and policies related to the transition process for children with disabilities in Thailand, from past to present, and compares these with international practices. The study finds that Thailand has several relevant laws, including the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), the National Education Act B.E. 2542 (1999), the Education for Persons with Disabilities Act B.E. 2551 (2008), and the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Act B.E. 2550 (2007), which have established important foundations for supporting educational rights and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. However, Thailand still lacks specific legislation that clearly defines the transition process for children with disabilities. Compared with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, significant differences were found in five areas: policies and legislation, process initiation, participation, collaboration integration, and monitoring and evaluation. This article proposes recommendations for developing laws and transition processes in Thailand, including developing specific transition legislation, initiating the transition process from the beginning of education, utilizing person-centered approaches, integrating collaboration between agencies, and developing monitoring and evaluation systems to enhance the quality of life and opportunities for children with disabilities in Thailand.

This qualitative study investigates the Wuyin Paigu teaching methods at Jinan Xingguan Percussion School in Shandong Province, China. Utilizing in-depth interviews with three key instructors, observation forms, and expert-validated protocols, the research identifies a comprehensive teaching model structured around seven core dimensions. First, the environment leverages professional acoustic design in specialized classrooms to foster student concentration. Second, teaching content follows a progressive structure, utilizing the "Paigu Performance Curriculum" to integrate technical challenges within traditional pieces like "Dancing on the Drums." Third, teaching methods blend traditional oral instruction and rhythmic chanting with modern video feedback for posture correction. Fourth, activities include regular talent shows and off-campus collaborations that enhance stage adaptability. Fifth, teaching equipment pairs traditional drum sets with metronomes and digital recording systems. Sixth, student participation is driven by interactive games and a disciplined daily practice regimen. Finally, evaluation shifts away from traditional grading toward a "pass/fail" system focused on rhythmic stability and artistic expression. Ultimately, the school successfully bridges traditional intangible cultural heritage with modern pedagogy, effectively cultivating students' technical proficiency and holistic development across moral, intellectual, and aesthetic domains.
