THE EFFECTS OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES BASED ON THE CONCRETE – PICTORIAL - ABSTRACT APPROACH ON FRACTIONS FOR GRADE 6 STUDENTS

Puesapa Saengkaew — 2026-04-30

This research aimed to study (1) determine the efficiency of learning management plans based on the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach on the topic of fractions for Grade 6 students according to the 70/70 standard. and (2) compare the mathematics learning achievement on the topic of fractions of Grade 6 students before and after the implementation of CPA-based learning activities. This research employed a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 11 Grade 6 students in the second semester of the 2024 academic year from a school in the Khong Phai Wang Ham Hae school network.. The participants were selected using cluster random sampling. The instruments used for data collection were eight learning management plans based on the CPA approach, which were rated at a high level of appropriateness, and a learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using basic statistics and inferential statistics. The research results were found as follows;

1) The learning management plans based on the CPA technique on the topic of fractions for Grade 6 students had an efficiency index of 73.65/73.33, which met the 70/70 standard. 2) Grade 6 students who learned fractions through learning activities based on the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach achieved significantly higher post-test scores than pre-test scores at the .05 level. The mean post-test score was 22.09, with a standard deviation of 2.42.

Korakod Choruk — 2026-04-30

Abstract

This academic article aims to present and synthesize concepts regarding systematic change management within organizations amid the global transition from a VUCA world to a BANI world - characterized by Brittleness, Anxiety, Non-linearity, and Incomprehensibility. The article integrates the foundational theories of Kurt Lewin and John Kotter’s 8-Step Process with modern strategic approaches, include Agile management, a human-centric approach, and data-driven execution. The study results indicate that change is no longer a temporary event but a continuous process requiring. Organizations to build resilience and foster a learning organization environment to minimize resistance. Furthermore, this article proposes the "CARE Model" for change leadership as a new systematic framework. This model comprises four integrated elements: Compassion, Agility, Resilience, and Evidence-based decision-making, The analysis concludes that implementing the CARE Model creates an adaptive ecosystem that empowers basic education institutions to navigate complex environments, and achieve sustainable growth in the digital era.

Natthawut Toomngern — 2026-04-30

This academic article aims to present the architecture and conceptual framework for applying good governance integrated with innovative management processes in educational institutions. The study reveals that digital-era educational leaders must apply six pillars of good governance: rule of law, morality/Ethics, transparency, participation, accountability, and cost-effectiveness. These are essential for driving core missions, including 1) academic and curriculum management via cloud technology and online platforms, 2) building Professional Learning Communities (PLC) based on trust, 3) ethical management of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI Governance), 4) utilizing Design Thinking for innovation, and 5) creating an organizational culture that promotes digital citizenship. The conclusion indicates that while technology is merely a tool, "good governance and leader's ethics" serve as the crucial compass to guide organizations and learners sustainably through transformation.

This academic article aims to examine school administrators' strategies for fostering high-quality digital citizenship. It explores the foundational concepts, the significance of digital skill development in the 21st century, and the critical role of leaders in driving policies that promote the critical, responsible, and safe use of technology. The findings reveal five key strategic dimensions: that key strategies comprise five main dimensions: (1) establishing a shared digital policy and vision, (2) developing curricula and integrating technology across subjects, (3) enhancing the digital competencies of teachers and personnel (4) managing digital environments and infrastructure, for safety and equity, and (5) building strategic partnerships with parents and communities. The study concludes that successful implementation requires Digital Leadership, characterized by a clear vision and the ability to integrate technological knowledge with educational goals to foster a sustainable digital learning culture within educational institutions.

TRANSFORMING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE FROM TRADITIONAL WORKFLOWS TO AN INNOVATION AND LEARNING ECOSYSTEM

Aumpika Ngamnil — 2026-04-30

This academic article examines pathways for transforming organizational culture toward becoming an Innovative Learning Organization (ILO) amid the rapidly changing digital business environment and the volatility of the VUCA world. The study integrates key conceptual foundations, including Senge's Learning Organization, Innovation Management theory, and Schein's Organizational Culture framework. A systematic literature review and synthetic analysis of relevant research were employed as the methodology. The findings identify five critical drivers for successful transformation: (1) transformational leadership, (2) a culture of trust and psychological safety, (3) effective knowledge management and sharing systems, (4) flexible organizational structures, and (5) the integration of digital technology to drive innovation. Furthermore, this article proposes the "PIVOT Model" as a new conceptual framework describing the cultural transformation pathway through five elements: Purpose-driven leadership, Innovation-safe environment, Value-aligned knowledge sharing, Organizational agility, and a Technology-enabled learning ecosystem. The analysis concludes that organizations capable of fostering and sustaining a continuous learning cultures demonstrate significantly higher competitive capacity and adaptability than conventional organizations.

A FRAMEWORK FOR AI-DRIVEN SMART SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

Sutthinee Pomkam — 2026-04-30

This academic article aims to present an AI-Driven Smart School Administration Framework, derived from a synthesis of concepts, theories, and relevant research concerning the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational management. The study identifies that AI-driven smart school administration encompasses four key dimensions: 1) Smart Academic Administration, 2) Smart Budget and Resource Administration, 3) Smart Personnel Administration, and 4) Smart General Administration. The proposed framework is structured into three main components: Input Factors emphasizing technological leadership and infrastructure; Integration Processes where AI serves as a strategic tool for data analysis, prediction, and decision support; and Outcomes focused on enhancing educational quality through student achievement and administrative efficiency. These dimensions are governed by critical prerequisites regarding ethics, data privacy, and the digital competency development of personnel. Furthermore, this framework is specifically designed for the Thai educational context, catering to both urban and rural schools, and emphasizes the role of AI as a tool to enhance the decision-making capabilities of administrators rather than replacing human judgment. Such a phased implementation approach is intended to lead to the sustainable enhancement of educational quality in the digital era.
