The statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, and standard deviation.

The findings revealed that 1) the level of ethical technology skills for learning of mechanical engineering students was at a high level, when considering each aspect, it was found that all aspects were at a high level ranked from highest to lowest mean as follows: ethical use of technology, ability to understand and respect the perspectives, thoughts and feelings of others, generosity when online users have problems, knowledge and understanding of laws related to computers, knowledge of copyright and respect for other of intellectual property and rights and, freedoms, and actions in the digital society, 2) the results of the synthesis of ethical technology skills for learning of mechanical engineering students were as follows: (1) role-playing is an embedded in knowledge-enhancing activities and presented as group discussions, (2) fake news detection is a competition to propose ideas, developments and approaches to managing fake news and, (3) a workshop on media literacy, with experts from cyber law and security invited to share their knowledge

The Role of Teachers in the Success of Content and Language Integrated Learning Instruction in Primary Education

Nuttasiri Onjun — 2025-04-24

This study showed the study findings on the role of teachers in the success of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) instruction in primary education, emphasizing the integration of language skill development with effective subject-specific learning. The implementation of CLIL in primary education has been proven to enhance higher-order thinking skills, communication abilities, and cultural awareness. The 4Cs framework (Content, Communication, Cognition, Culture) serves as a foundation for designing curricula and activities that enable students to connect their knowledge with real-life contexts. However, the adoption of CLIL in Thailand faces several challenges, such as a shortage of proficient teachers in both language and subject content, as well as a lack of quality training programs. Research findings suggested that teacher development through practical training workshops, the creation of specialized teaching materials, and the establishment of international collaboration networks are essential. Additionally, teachers play a critical role in fostering a learning environment that stimulates analytical thinking and promotes active learning. The conclusion of this study highlights the significance of teachers in designing meaningful activities that integrate language and content while also building a sustainable foundation for CLIL education in the context of Thailand.

Lean Management to Increase Industrial Efficiency

Nikorn Sukachat — 2025-04-25

Lean is an important concept not only as a method of managing the production process, but also as a framework emphasizing the creation of an organizational culture focusing on continuous process improvement and development, which enables organizations to add value to customers and create better results from the efficient use of available resources. This concept supports the reduction of waste in the production process, reducing unnecessary costs, and increasing productivity that can lead to creating competitive advantages by promoting collaboration across all parts of the organization and continuous process improvement. Reducing waste and focusing on customers as the center, combining Lean with digital technology and Industry 4.0 helps increase efficiency and sustainability in production by using tools such as 5S, Kaizen, and VSM to improve the production process and increase productivity. In addition, lean production reduces costs and production time, while delivering quality products that meet customer needs. The use of Lean tools in the production process increases competitiveness in various industries, especially in the case study of the improvement of the natural rubber glove production process using techniques such as VSM, 5W + 1H, and ECRS to effectively address and reduce waste in the production process.
