Learning Resource Management to Support Sustainable Development Goals: A 4-Dimensional Framework and Implementation Guidelines

2025-08-26T16:12:36+07:00

This article aims to study the relationship between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learning resource management, with a focus on analyzing SDG 4 on quality education, which is considered the cornerstone of creating an equitable society and lifelong learning. A review of relevant concepts, theories, and research demonstrates that learning resource management plays a role not only in supporting education but also serves as a strategic mechanism connecting to multiple SDG targets, such as SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).

The learning resource management approaches synthesized from this article comprise four dimensions: (1) Policy dimension, emphasizing strategic planning and investment in equitable infrastructure; (2) Management dimension, focusing on developing human resources, budgets, and technology; (3) Utilization dimension, emphasizing access and participation of all learner groups through the Universal Design for Learning concept; and (4) Evaluation dimension, focusing on measuring qualitative impact and sustainability. International case studies, such as UNESCO Learning Cities, green libraries, and OER platforms, align with case studies in Thailand, including Learning Cities, Non-Formal and Informal Education centers, TK Park public libraries, Thai MOOC, and Community Digital Centers, reflecting progress and limitations that warrant further development. This article therefore presents a 4-dimensional learning resource management framework linked to SDGs and proposes a new interpretation of learning resources as serving both as social infrastructure and public spaces for long-term sustainability creation.

Enhancing Science Learning through a Constructivist Pedagogy

2025-08-26T16:43:12+07:00

This study aims to analyze the application of constructivist learning theory in science education is a learning theory guiding education, emphasizing learner-initiated, developmentally appropriate learning with facilitators. It focuses on modifying mental models for novel experiences and encourages hands-on learning and the constructivist approach, involving teachers as facilitators, encourages learners to construct their own knowledge through active engagement and challenging traditional methods, enhancing learning outcomes. Important concepts emerging from this study highlight that constructivism emphasizes learning as an active process in which learners build knowledge through exploration and engagement. By participating in hands-on activities and exchanging ideas with peers and teachers, students develop deeper understanding and critical thinking skills. This approach also promotes collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving, preparing learners for lifelong learning and real-world application of knowledge.

Enhancing Professionalism to Empower Novice Teachers

2025-08-26T16:33:18+07:00

This article highlights the multifaceted challenges that Teachers’ professionalism is often constrained by curriculum, instructional strategies, and other non-teaching duties that impede professional development and innovation. Additionally, Contemporary teaching practices are hindered by lack of training, topic expertise gaps, and teaching post shortages. Professional ethics, low incomes, and low social recognition erode motivation and commitment, limiting professional growth and affecting education standards. In view of these obstacles, enhancing teachers' professionalism necessitates thorough training, ongoing professional growth, and strong institutional support. To properly prepare educators, training programs must incorporate research, curriculum design, theory, practice, and practical experience. The creation of continuing professional development opportunities that encourage introspection, self-learning, research participation, and creativity is equally crucial. In order to maintain drive and creativity, institutional support in the form of cooperation, resource sharing, acknowledgment, and mentoring is essential. Fair hiring practices, equal career possibilities, and performance reviews that are connected to student learning objectives are all ways to further promote professionalism. And it is important that the need for systemic reforms to enhance teacher professionalism, ensuring that educators are well-prepared, motivated, and supported in their role. By addressing these interrelated factors, education systems can advance teacher quality, improve learning outcomes, and strengthen the overall foundation of professional teaching

Optimal I-PD Controller Design to Reduce Set-Point Kick by Flower Pollination Algorithm for DC Motor Speed Control

2025-07-15T19:20:47+07:00

The proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is widely used as the main controller in feedback control systems. However, a major drawback of the conventional PID controller is its sensitivity to sudden changes in the reference input, which leads to control signal amplification, commonly known as set-point kick. This phenomenon can adversely affect actuators in practical applications. To address this issue, the PID controller is modified into an I–PD controller, in which the proportional and derivative actions are applied only to the process variable rather than the reference signal.

This research presents the design of an optimal I–PD controller aimed at reducing the set-point kick phenomenon. The controller parameters are optimized using the Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and applied to a DC motor speed control system. The results demonstrate that the proposed I–PD controller significantly reduces control signal amplification compared to the conventional PID controller. Furthermore, the simulation results are validated through experimental implementation on a laboratory-scale DC motor speed control system, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
