Abstract

This qualitative research aimed at analyzing the person as a role model in transferring knowledge on the wisdom of Pak Thong Chai silk, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The participants were 17 village sages who were purposively selected from 17 villages in Pak Thong Chai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. A structured interview with a very high consistency level for all items was used and the data were collected by observing and conducting in-depth interviews in April 2017, divided into 3 periods of a week each. The data were analyzed by summarizing each content and the overview and the results were presented in a descriptive way. The findings revealed that the role of the village sage as a model person had been inherited from generation to generation and it created experience and expertise. This led to various thinking changes for the development of innovative processes, created a silk identity for one's own family, member groups and communities, helped generate income and resulted in a higher living standard. In terms of transferring local wisdom methods, the role in using personal media was displayed, started by conveying familiar, friendly words and the process of making the silk objects was demonstrated. Then, the actual practice was required, including monitoring, recommending and helping to fix every step. Every process started from within the family, people in the community, people with the same job, other communities, and other provinces. This process enabled the recipients to continuously learn and accumulate real experiences.
