The objectives of this research were: (1) to examine the factors influencing the natural dyeing process using teak leaves, and (2) to evaluate consumer satisfaction with textiles dyed using this technique. A structured questionnaire was employed as the research instrument, focusing on the characteristics of environmentally friendly textile products. Utilizing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the study identified 28 variables affecting the natural dyeing process from teak leaves, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) established separate discriminant validity data. Four key factors were identified: (1) Policy and Natural Materials, (2) Knowledge of Local Materials, (3) Wisdom/Skills, and (4) Textile Products. All factors met the standard criteria for fit indices, with values of χ2 = 11.164, df = 15, relative χ2 =.744, p =.741, GFI =.991, AGFI =.956, NFI =.994, TLI = 1.009, CFI = 1.000, RMSEA =.000, and RMR =.020, allowing for the evaluation of new textile product prototypes through Multiple Regression Analysis. The study found that these four independent variables collectively explained 86.0% of consumer satisfaction, as indicated by the standardized regression equation =.434(X1) +.325(X2) +.292(X3). The findings highlight the potential of using local materials to enhance environmental sustainability, generate community income, and preserve traditional wisdom in Thailand.

This study set out to research and evaluate the needs in developing creative problem-solving skills (CPSS) of undergraduate students through developing and evaluating a digital storytelling process using Padlet. The sampling process used simple random sampling to select 332 teachers from 83 schools in Bangkok. The data was collected using a needs assessment questionnaire, training course questionnaire, and satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive statistics used for the analysis included frequency, percentage, mean (x̄ ), and standard deviation (SD). The data collected were mean scores of expert validity testing and student inter-rater reliability testing. The assessment evaluated student satisfaction toward the CPSS training course using 30 students in the Computer Education Program at Dhonburi Rajabhat University's Faculty of Education in Thailand. The findings revealed that of the four aspects identified for developing undergraduate CPSS, elaboration was at the top of the priority of needs (PNI<inf>Modified</inf> = 0.20). This was followed by originality and flexibility (PNI<inf>Modified</inf> = 0.19). Finally, was fluency (PNI<inf>Modified</inf> = 0.18). Also, analysis of the prospective condition was ranked ‘high’ across all four aspects with an average of x̄= 4.38 SD = 0.06. Further analysis of the real condition showed that all four aspects had an average of x̄= 3.67, SD = 0.06. The study contributes to the literature in that it demonstrated that correctly developed and implemented undergraduate student CPSS can increase significantly. This fact is critical in knowing as a nation’s future depends on its workforce and leaders having CPSS

Sitthiworachart, Jirarat
Recognizing its importance, most countries have prioritized creative thinking as a critical ability that students need to develop before they enter the workforce. Thailand is no exception. For teachers to create learning environments that foster students’ creativity, teachers need a research-based understanding of creativity. Eighty-nine Thai in-service teachers responded to an online questionnaire that surveyed their conceptions of creativity and use of technology to foster creativity in their classrooms. The results of the survey revealed that the Thai in-service teachers were less readily recognizing the mini-c and Pro-c. Also, they did not seem to deem originality/novelty as a necessary criterion for creativity. More results of the survey will be further discussed.

To succeed in the modern world, members of society must be adept at keeping pace with myriad, often unpredictable circumstances. As such, it is crucial that creative skills and thinking are cultivated at an early age. With these concerns in mind, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) regarding the creative administration by Thai administrators on early childhood education. Data were gathered through questionnaires given to 324 administrators and teachers working with students in early childhood education who were selected through a multi-stage random sampling technique. The data collection tool was a questionnaire with an Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of 0.60–1.00. Descriptive statistics were used including the mean (and standard deviation (S.D.). The findings from the CFA of the six significant factors for Thai administrators’ creative administration of early childhood education, ranked in most important to least important, were 1) creative measurement and evaluation (0.55), 2) creative resources and learning atmosphere development (0.50), 3) creative media and technology development (0.50), 4) creative research development (0.47), 5) creative learning process development (0.44), and 6) creative curriculum development at the early childhood level (0.34). All the factors corresponded with the empirical data and the results of this research can be applied by administrators of early childhood schools to improve the quality of education by recognizing the need to focus on creativity.
