Background: Preparing student teachers for professional practicum is essential to build confidence before engaging in real classroom practice. This study aimed to investigate the model and examine student satisfaction with practicum readiness among mathematics education students at Yala Rajabhat University.
Methods: This research and development study was conducted in four phases. Phase one, data exploration, involved nine key informants who participated in semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews, which were analyzed through descriptive content analysis. Phase two, model development, involved engaging five participants to evaluate the appropriateness of the model through focus group discussions, which were analyzed using the mean index of item-objective congruence. Phase three, model implementation, applied the developed model to 32 cluster-sampled students. Instruments used a readiness assessment and satisfaction questionnaire, employing a one-group pretest–posttest design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test). Phase four, model refinement, analyzed open-ended responses from readiness and satisfaction evaluations.
Results: The developed “PROM Model” consisted of components principles, objectives, instructional processes, knowledge content, learning activities, and supportive learning media and steps: experience building, knowledge sharing, summarization, and application. The model demonstrated high appropriateness. Comparative results indicated significant improvement after implementation (M=4.41) compared to before (M=3.75), with statistical significance at the 0.05 level (p=-6.171). Student satisfaction with the model was high (M=4.06, S.D.=0.84).
Conclusions: The preparation model for mathematics student teachers’ professional practicum at Yala Rajabhat University comprises six elements and four steps, showing high appropriateness and effectiveness. The model significantly enhanced students’ readiness and satisfaction, particularly emphasizing the role of instructors in supporting model development and application. This suggests the model’s potential for practical use in teacher education institutions to strengthen professional practice.
