The sample consisted of 175 participants, including school administrators, government teachers, educational personnel, and subject matter experts. Data were collected using questionnaires and structured interviews, and analyzed through descriptive statistics and content analysis. The results indicated that overall levels of teacher morale and motivation were high. Among the various factors, work achievement received the highest average score, followed by job security. In terms of job security, teachers emphasized the importance of school leaders recognizing dedicated staff, actively listening to teacher input at all levels, and ensuring fairness—particularly in welfare provision and task assignment. For workplace relationships, the findings suggested the need for activities that build collegiality among teachers across subjects and grade levels, while encouraging open dialogue and inclusive participation in decision-making processes. Regarding career advancement, it was recommended that administrators promote continuous professional development, support lifelong learning, and improve the academic promotion system to be more flexible and timely. In the area of work achievement, teachers appreciated recognition and encouragement for those who consistently show dedication and contribute positively to student outcomes and school improvement. They also requested a reduction in administrative duties unrelated to teaching and learning. With respect to the work environment, the study highlighted the need for appropriate working conditions, access to modern equipment, and fair task distribution based on individual strengths and competencies. Finally, in terms of compensation and welfare, the study recommended meaningful forms of recognition—such as presenting flowers to celebrate teacher achievements—as well as initiatives that promote financial literacy, including saving schemes, responsible spending, and contingency funds for official duties.</p> Jatuporn Thiangyou, Nontawat Yuttawong Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/284875 Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 A Review of Research on Teachers' Professional Identity https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285407 <p>Teachers' Professional Identity (TPI) is a dynamic, multi-faceted construct affecting career destinations, pedagogy, and self-concept.

These schools fall under the jurisdiction of the Tak Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. The population and data sources used in this study consisted of 176 teachers from schools in the Mokkala group. The research instruments included questionnaires and interviews. Data were analyzed using percentage, frequency, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research results revealed that the overall condition of active learning management in the era of global disruption among schools in the Mokkala group, under the Tak Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, was at a high level. When considering each aspect individually, the design of learning activities was rated the highest, with an average score in the high range. As for the problems related to active learning management in the context of global disruption, the study found the following: In the design of learning activities, most teachers lacked sufficient knowledge, skills, and experience. In curriculum development, there was a shortage of specialized personnel. In student-centered learning, where students engage in hands-on activities, most instructors lacked effective learning management skills. In the use and development of innovative learning media, most schools lacked modern resources or technological equipment. In authentic assessment and evaluation, most educators had not received adequate training on evaluation criteria. In communication and the exchange of learning experiences, insufficient time was the most commonly cited issue. The proposed guidelines for improving active learning management in the era of global disruption among schools in the Mokkala group are as follows: Designing learning activities: Schools should clearly define student learning objectives, covering Knowledge (K), Process (P), and Attitude (A), with an emphasis on higher-order thinking skills. Curriculum development: Schools should regularly review and update their curriculum to ensure continuous development in response to changes over time. Student-centered learning: Schools should prioritize learning activities that encourage students to think critically and solve problems. Use and development of innovative learning media: Schools should provide training or knowledge-sharing sessions to equip staff with the skills to effectively use a variety of media, innovations, and technologies that suit the content and learning activities. Authentic assessment and evaluation: Schools should adopt policies that encourage students to participate in self-assessment processes. Communication and sharing of learning experiences: Schools should establish a structured framework for thinking, discussion, and experience exchange in a systematic and sequential manner.</p> Siriporn Chokrut, Sunet Thongkhamphong Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285016 Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 The Approach to Promoting the Use of Governance Principles in the Management of Educational Institutions in the Digital Era at Thapla District Primary Schools, Uttaradit Province https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285367 <p>This study employed a mixed-methods research design to: 1) investigate the current issues related to promoting the application of good governance principles in the administration of primary schools in the digital era in Tha Pla District, Uttaradit Province; and 2) propose strategies to enhance the implementation of such principles in this context. The research was conducted in two phases. The population consisted of 256 individuals, including school administrators, government teachers, and educational personnel in primary schools within the district. Additionally, nine experts were selected for in-depth interviews. Data collection tools included structured questionnaires and interviews. Descriptive statistics frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were employed, along with content analysis. Findings revealed that the overall level of promotion of good governance in school administration during the digital era was high ( 4.45, 0.40). The principle of participation posed the most significant challenge, while the principle of the rule of law was the least problematic. A key issue identified was the lack of training for teachers and educational personnel regarding new regulations related to digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI). To address these challenges, the study recommends utilizing online platforms to strengthen communication among school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and community members. Suggested tools include school websites, Facebook groups, and Line Official Accounts, which can be used to regularly disseminate information and updates on school activities.</p> Thanaphat Koeitham, Sunate Tongkumphong Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285367 Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 The Educational Innovator of Secondary School Teachers in Education Sandbox https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285256 <p>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.</p> Attapon Wongbubpa, Tharin Rasanond, Kosol Meekun, Achara Wattananarong Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285256 Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 A Study of the Current and Desired States and Essential Needs for Enhancing Curriculum Quality through Quality Assurance Implementation Based on AUN-QA Criteria of College of Asian Scholars https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285137 <p>This research aimed to 1) investigate the current conditions, desired conditions, and priority needs for developing a quality assurance framework based on the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) criteria to enhance curriculum quality at College of Asian Scholars, involving a total of 170 participants comprising administrators, curriculum instructors, support staff, students, and other stakeholders affiliated with College of Asian Scholars.

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.</p> Sudaporn Khiewngamdee, Phramaha Boonkerd Panyapawutthi, Phramaha Rachan Cittapalo, Somkhuan Niyomwong Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/287505 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Academic Leadership of Administrators Affecting Internal Supervision in Schools under Songkhla Primary Educational Service Area Office 3 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285563 <p>This research aimed to: 1) study the level of academic leadership of school administrators, 2) study the level of internal supervision within schools, and 3) investigate the impact of academic leadership of school administrators on internal supervision within schools.

The participants were 58 students enrolled in the 2024 academic year, equally divided into experimental and control groups. They were selected through matched-pair sampling based on low scores on the Attention Network Test (ANT), which was used to measure their level of attention at three time points: before the intervention, after the intervention, and two weeks post-intervention. 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 &lt; .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 &lt; .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.</p> Gitiya Rachaponsan, Sasinan Sirithadakunlaphat, Warankorn Supwirapakorn Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhist Education and Research (JBER) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jber/article/view/285228 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700
