Abstract

This article aims to show the importance of public consciousness and the approach to instill public consciousness in Thai youth. Public consciousness is an important thing that must be continuously and effectively instilled in the consciousness of Thai youth in order to create a society with strong morality and ethics that is sustainable in the future. The approach to instill public consciousness in Thai youth consists of: 1) Stimulating public consciousness, including creating positive thoughts about public consciousness by presenting the good results that arise from practicing public consciousness by showing the results that occur to oneself, family, community, society, country and the world through media, learning resources, simulations and real situations. 2) Allowing youth to practice public consciousness activities that are truly appropriate for their age, abilities and needs, or allowing children and youth to plan activities or projects that require joint sacrifice and to practice activities as planned with adults or teachers providing close consultation and discussion. 3) Allowing children and youth to jointly evaluate the success or results of practicing public consciousness activities, jointly criticizing the advantages and limitations of the implementation in order to improve the practice of public consciousness activities.
