    Lab school libraries are important learning resources for children and teachers. This study aims to explore the state of information management systems in lab school libraries in Thailand and to develop guidelines to improve them. The sample group included 400 teacher librarians in mixed quantitative-qualitative research. The quantitative approach used statistical analyses with percentage, means and standard deviation and found that 98.18% of teacher librarians had knowledge and ability to use Microsoft Word and library automation software for information management. The qualitative findings revealed that the teacher librarians were equipped with knowledge and abilities to use both basic computer software and the library information management software. They reported problems related to computer usage, inadequate computers for reading promotion, inefficient OBEC Library Automation Systems for cataloging, and inadequate budgets to update software. The approaches for information management development in lab school libraries indicate that, based on an adequate budget, most schools needed to formulate an information system development plan for the library as a learning resource, to provide computers for library data storage, and to hire a librarian with a degree in library and information science together with library staff who can manage information and communication technology in the school library including a website to foster the use of an information system to make use of existing learning resources.

    Improving the technical skills and desirable characteristics required for mechanical drawing in the automotive parts industry
    (World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education, 2021) Suraphan Raksaphramna; Sumalee Chanchalorb; Saisuda Pantrakool
    This research was undertaken to study the problems of acquiring adequate technical skills and the desirable characteristics for producing mechanical drawing in the automotive parts industry in Thailand. The sample group for the study, which numbered 117 persons, consisted of design engineers and owners or managers from the automotive parts manufacturing sector. A mix of quantitative and qualitative method was applied in the study. A questionnaire and an interview were applied as tools. The results have revealed that the design engineers and the owners or managers assigned a relatively high importance to problems of technical skills and qualifications. It was found that, overall, there are several high-level problems with the desirable characteristics required for mechanical drawing. The technical skills level required for the subject matter indicates there are issues to deal with, at a medium level. The conclusion is that by improving training, the workersÕ technical skills and desirable characteristics would be increased to better match industry demand. © WIETE 2021.

    (2023-12-19) Chutiwan Boonarchatong; Thinnagorn Chunhapataragul; Saisuda Pantrakool; Phuripoj Kaewyong; Kanitta Wongma; Kongsak Boonarchatong
    The aims of this research were to develop smart innovative trash bins to be used as learning media for garbage segregation and to assessment the learning outcomes after playing the game with smart innovative trash bins. The sample group consisted of 400 grade 4, 5, and 6 students. A set of smart innovative trash bin contains four trash bins classified by type: 1) biodegradable garbage (green bin), 2) hazardous garbage (red bin), 3) general garbage (blue bin), and 4) recycle garbage (yellow bin). The bin embedded the program code in the Arduino board. Twelve garbage items, four types, had RFID tags. When users bring garbage into the correct type of garbage bin, the trash bin lid will open and close by itself. On the other hand, if the garbage is placed in the wrong garbage bin, the lid will not open. The result shown the sample group’s learning outcome of garbage segregation increased by with 3.52 scores or 17.6%. In summary, smart innovative trash bins able to promote learning outcomes of garbage segregation.

    The effect of metaverse technology on multicultural learning: Strengthening the social attitudes, cultural awareness and critical thinking skills of secondary school students
    (Asian Online Journal Publishing Group, 2025) Prisana Mutchima; Yutthapong Leelakitpaisarn; Bunpod Pijitkamnerd; Nattha Phiwma; Saisuda Pantrakool; S. Pantrakool; Suan Dusit University, Bangkok, Thailand; email: Saisuda_pan@dusit.ac.th
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of metaverse technology on multicultural learning to strengthen the social attitudes, cultural awareness and critical thinking skills of secondary school students. Methodology: A quasi-experimental research method was used in this study to equally divide 80 secondary school students in the Dusit district, under the Office of the Basic Education Commission, Bangkok, Thailand into an experimental group and a control group. The experiment of the metaverse on multicultural learning in an eight week teaching period comprised four components: virtual cultural exploration, role-playing, discussions and reflections, and collaborative projects. The results showed a significant difference in the average outcomes between the groups. In conclusion, the major findings include three dimensions: 1) Students who learn through metaverse technology have a higher learning progress than students in traditional classrooms. 2) Social attitudes and critical thinking skills from utilizing metaverse technology in learning are both statistically significant. 3) The overall assessment proves that metaverse technology improves students' learning outcomes. Therefore, this study supports the integration of metaverse technology into education, especially in developing thinking skills and social competence in multicultural learning. The metaverse supported teachersÕ instruction to enhance studentsÕ social, cultural, and critical thinking skills. © 2025 by the authors
