Development of Competencies and Educational Media Innovation for Students of The Faculty of Education through The Social Engineering Process of Students of The Faculty of Education Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University

Abstract

The research study titled “Developing Competencies and Creating Educational Innovation Media for Students of the Faculty of Education through the Social Engineering Process” aimed to enhance students’ competencies in developing educational innovation media through the application of the social engineering process. The target group consisted of 70 students from the Faculty of Education, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. A questionnaire was employed as the research instrument, and the data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
The findings revealed that most participants were female (67.15%) and male students accounted for 32.85%. When classified by field of study, 14.28% of the students were enrolled in each of the following programs: English, Thai, Social Studies, General Science, Digital Technology for Education, Mathematics, and Early Childhood Education.
The results indicated that students’ opinions toward the competency development activities for creating educational innovation media through the social engineering process were at a high level. The top three aspects with the highest mean scores were: (1) the created media were appropriate for the learners’ age or grade level, and students acquired knowledge of the five basic tools of social engineering (????̄ = 4.62); (2) students gained knowledge, concepts, skills, and new experiences in social engineering, enabling them to create their own innovation media for teaching and learning (????̄ = 4.60); and (3) the media could be effectively applied in actual classroom teaching (????̄ = 4.56). The lowest mean score indicated that students were moderately able to integrate the acquired knowledge into their teaching subjects (????̄ = 4.54).
Overall, the study demonstrated that the social engineering process effectively enhanced the competencies of education students in developing innovative educational media applicable to real classroom contexts.
