DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO MODEL WITH REFLECTIVE THINKING BASED ON BUDDHIST PRINCIPLES TO ENHANCE HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILL FOR STUDENTS OF BACHELOR OF EDUCATION PROGRAM

Abstract

This study aims to 1) create an electronic portfolio model integrated with Buddhist-based reflection to help undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Education program promote the higher-order thinking skills, 2) study the result of using an electronic portfolio model integrated with Buddhist-based reflection to help undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Education program promote the higher-order thinking skills, and 3) evaluate and certify an electronic portfolio model integrated with Buddhist-based reflection to help undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Education program promote the higher-order thinking skills. The 54 samples of the study were the year - 4 student teachers from Mahamakut Buddhist University's Roi Et Campus, enrolling in the academic year 2023. The student teachers were selected by means of a simple random sampling process. Research instruments used included: 1) a questionnaire about the draft of the electronic portfolio model integrated with Buddhist-based reflection to promote the student teachers’ higher-order thinking skills which had IOC ratings from 0.67 to 1.00; 2) an evaluation form for the electronic portfolio system, which covered IOC 0.67 to 1.00; 3) an evaluation form for the electronic portfolio outputs, which showed an IOC range of 0.67 to 1.00 and a reliability score of 0.975; 4) an evaluation form for higher-order thinking skills, which had an IOC range of 0.67 to 1.00 and a reliability score of 0.876; and 5) an evaluation form to validate the electronic portfolio model, integrated with Buddhist-based reflection to help undergraduate students in Bachelor of Education program promote the higher-order thinking skills, The question items and components of the electronic portfolio format showed an IOC value ranging between 0.67 to 1.00. The statistics used in the research include content analysis, frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation.
The findings indicated that: 1) the created electronic portfolio model with reflective thinking based on Buddhist principles of students of Bachelor of Education Program included (1) objectives of the model; (2) portfolio management system comprised expected objectives and contents, work collection, promotion activity of reflective thinking based on Buddhist principles to enhance higher order thinking, and monitoring and evaluation; (3) the process contained 5 phases were analysis, design, development, implement, and evaluation; the Electronic Portfolio Management System, which was overall found at a high level, accounted for 4.13; 2) the quality of the electronic portfolio created by the students was, for the most part, at a good level accounted for 75.93% and score result of the higher order thinking skill was overall at a high level accounted for 4.08; and 3) the evaluation results of the developed electronic portfolio format show that it is highly appropriate (4.49) and very feasible (4.52).
