    Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is an instructional method that integrates the requirements of the employment sector into curriculum design, blending academic and practical training. The key drivers of this type of learning management are lecturers and employers. This study aims to compare expectations in WIL, classified by occupation and work experience. Data were collected from two groups of stakeholders, including lecturers from six higher education institutes using WIL learning management, and supervisors responsible for overseeing learners during their practical training period in the hospitality and tourism field. Fieldwork was conducted with employers in managerial positions at nine hotels in Thailand, using cluster random sampling to obtain the 19 participants. The research instrument was an assessment form evaluating the performance expected of learners upon graduation. The statistics used to analyze the data included mean (x̅), standard deviation (SD), and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings indicate that lecturers and employers have the highest expectations for WIL learning in the hospitality and tourism field (x̅ = 4.63, SD = 0.27), with different occupations and experiences having similar expectations for WIL learning. These results offer new insights into identifying stakeholder groups as informants for data collection and need analysis in designing or improving curricula. Additionally, the findings can guide curriculum developers in selecting main stakeholders for data collection and need analysis used in curriculum design.

    As the Thai government's policy requires community enterprises to be able to solve problems by themselves and be self-reliant, this study was conducted to assess and prioritize the needs of facilitator skills to enhance the facilitator technique in developing a training course for Thai community enterprises. The data was collected from 137 members of the community enterprises in Thailand. The research instrument was a need assessment questionnaire on the actual situation and expected situation towards skills of facilitator for community enterprises. The statistics used to analyze the data included mean (X<sup>̅</sup>), standard deviation (SD) and Priority Needs Index Modified (PNIModified). It is suggested that the results of this study should be applied in the development of training courses to enhance the ability of facilitator of community enterprises. The findings present new knowledge on facilitator techniques, which community enterprise members can use to develop an economic system of the community self-sufficiency.

    Thailand’s automotive industry is the 12th largest in the world and plays an important role in Thailand’s economy. Under the government mandated Thailand 4.0 vision, the automotive sector has been identified as one of the 10 crucial sectors for future economic growth. Within this sector, service quality has repeatedly been identified as one of the most competitive factors amongst the major dealers. Service quality is a fundamental aspect of service provisioning, which demonstrates excellence and long-term success. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to investigate service quality within Thailand’s Suzuki Motor Company by adopting the five dimensions of the SERVQUAL model (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy) for analysis. Additionally, the study also examined the validity of the service quality model and compared service quality satisfaction amongst Thailand’s Suzuki Motor Company service staff. By using multi-stage random sampling, 537 customers responded. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the main research instrument was a questionnaire which used a 5-point Likert type agreement scale. An analysis was undertaken in which the mean ( standard deviation (S.D.), correlation analysis, and percentage were evaluated. Furthermore, a second-order confirmatory factor analysis was performed using Mplus Version 8 software. The statistical values were Chi-square = 2572.016, df = 979, RMSEA =.07, SRMR =.051, TLI =.901, CFI =.912. Results from the five identified dimensions were in line with the hypothesized model, with the weight of all the variables being positive. These included responsiveness, empathy, reliability, tangibility, and assurance.

    Mobile learning (M-learning) has become part of a rich mix of new features and facilities in the teaching and learning process, and with the advent and proliferation of the smartphone, M-learning is reaching new heights. In the art world, M-learning is also being explored, and as students can be connected to their teacher from anywhere in the world, there is no longer the need for a physical studio to learn the magic of art. The researchers therefore set out to create a course using digital technologies for teaching the Art of Drawing online. Initially, the researchers made use of the Delphi method to query a panel of 19 experts in the fields of art education, educational technologists and artists to gather their input for an online, M-Learning course model. After which, 248 Facebook members belonging to the 'Society of the Professional Art Teachers Development of Thailand' were selected by use stratified random sampling. From these members, 201 opted to participate in a 2-month M-learning course concerned with the Art of Drawing. Results revealed that both the experts and the course students found the use of digital tools such as the iPad, tablet, and smartphone as very appropriate in learning the Art of Drawing. The same was true for the applications as well.

    These were to study the critical thinking of nursing students, and to develop and check the goodness of fit of the Structural Equation Model of critical thinking among nursing students, which was compared with an empirical data set. There were 549 first year nursing students. Multi-stage random sampling was used in this research, by cluster random sampling from 20 private higher education institutions that provide nursing courses, comprising 25 percent, and random sampling 5 private higher education institutions, in order to gain 549 samples for this study. These were critical thinking questionnaires and variable effects of critical thinking questionnaires. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and the Structural Equation Model. This research indicated that the goodness of fit test of the Structural Equation Model of critical thinking among nursing students was applicable. The results showed the following statistical values: Chi-square = 284.895, df = 248, p-value = 0.054, RMSEA = 0.016, RMR = 0.009, GFI = 0.968, CFI = 0.997 and χ<sup>2</sup>/df = 1.149; this indicated that the Structural Equation Model goodness of fit matched the empirical data quite well. The Self Efficiency, Emotional Intelligence, and Learning Style variables had positively direct effects on critical thinking (b = 0.371, 0.370 and 0.376). The Internal Locus of Control had a negatively direct effect on critical thinking (b = −0.120). In conclusion, in theoretical and practical teaching, nursing academies should promote critical thinking among nursing students by using the following variables: self-efficiency, emotional intelligence, learning style, and internal locus of control. This model should be used to develop complementary courses on critical thinking for nursing students.
