THE DEVELOPMENT MODEL TO ENHANCE THE PROTOTYPE NOVICE’S CHARACTERISTICS IN GENERAL EDUCATON DIVISION OF PHRA PARIYATIDHAMMA SCHOOL BY INTEGRATED BUDDHISM

Abstract

This research aims to 3 objectives: 1) to study theoretical concept in developing the characteristics of prototype novices grading 10-12(M. 4-6) in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School, 2) to study the principles in the development to enhance the qualities of the prototype novices grading 10-12(M.4-6) in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School and 3) to present the development’s model to enhance the characteristics of prototype novices grading 10-12 (M. 4-6) in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School, by integrating Buddhism. Research methodology is a mixed research, that is, the quantitative data are obtained from the 377 sampling groups such as the school administrators, teachers and novices grading 10-12(M.4-6) in the General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School, Phrae Province, while the qualitative data  are obtained from documents, the In-Depth Interviews with 12 experts, the Focus Group Discussion with 12 experts, and lastly  experiment was done with 146 novices  grading 10-12 (M.4-6) in Phuttakosai Wittaya School, the General Education Division of  Phra Pariyatidhamma School, Phrae Province.

The results are found that:

       1) On the general state in developing the Prototype Novice’s Characteristics grading 10-12 (M. 4-6) in the General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School, Phrae Province, are 4 aspects: 1) the Satisfaction, caring, associating with good people, 2) trying to study useful subjects, 3) creativity and creativity, and 4) self-study and applying to living life. In total evaluation, all aspects are in the high level.

 2)  On the integrating Buddhist Doctrines in developing to enhance of the characteristics of prototype novices grading 10-12 (M. 4-6) in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School, Phrae Province, it was found, the aforementioned actyivity was run in accordance  with Buddhist Doctrines such as  the 2 Bhavana (Meditations), 3 Sikkha(Trainings), 3 Panna(Wisdom), 4 Bhavana (Cultivation), 4 Iddhipada (Basis for success),  4 Vutthidhamma (Virtues conducive to growth), 5 Bahusutta, and 7 Sappurisa Dhamma (qualities of a learned person). In this research only 2 Buddhist Doctrines were mutually selected i.e. : the 4 Iddhipada (Basis for success), and the 4 Vutthidhamma (Virtues conducive to growth) namely Chanta + Sappurisamseva, Viriya + Sddhamassavana, Citta + Yonosomanasilara, and Vimamsa + Dhammanuudhammapatipatti by integrating in development to promote the prototype novices characteristics in 4 areas: 1) In physical and verbal development, Chanda, a satisfaction, attention, pleasure, ambitiousness together with Sappurisamseva,  choosing to associate the good people, faithful people. 2)  In the effort to learn, Viriya, togather with Sadddhammassavana, listening to useful subjects 3) In the Creative thought, Citta, the initiative and imaginative, togather with Yonisamanasikara, critical reflection.  4) On Education, Vimamsa, a study and doing research by oneself, together with Dhammanudhammapatipatti, having the good practice being suitable model according to one’s ability.

       3) The Development Model to Enhance the Prototype Novice’s Characteristics in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School by Integrating Buddhism having analyzed form the research data is classified in to 5 aspects in short KOSAI MODEL. This implies that 1) K means knowledge, 2) O means Occasion, 3) S denotes Support, 4) A denotes Active and 5) I represent Ict (Information and Communication Technologies). Thereby it aims to enhance to be the high perfect Prototype Novice. The results from the   experimental Model are found that   the 146 sampling groups   behaved according to the characteristics of the prototype novice in in General Education Division of Phra Pariyatidhamma School covered all aspects; both Pre-test and Pros-test of Buddhist integrated activities. That is before organizing activities for developing novices the total evaluations at   = 4.02 denoting the behavioral level in pursuing learning at a high level however, after organizing the learner development activities, it was found that their indicative behaviors in overall aspects got average at = 4.54 denoting the behavioral level in pursuing learning at the highest level.
