This research aimed to create the appropriate model of integrated learning activity for developing the new generation of graduates at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna (RMUTL). The population consisted of 17 experts for assessing the appropriate model of integrated learning. The research instruments used by experts included questionnaires for creating integrated learning model and evaluation forms for the appropriation of integrated learning model. For the collection of data by experts the researcher used the Delphi techniques. The results of the study indicated that Work-Integrated Learning and Project-Based Integrated Learning were the most appropriate integrated learning models for developing the new generation of graduates at RMUTL. The results of experts’ evaluations on the appropriateness of those models showed that the mean was 5.00 and the standard deviation was 0.00.

The purposes of this study were: 1) to develop the model of a participatory learning process for conserving the forest-resources of communities around Doi-Khun-Tan National Park 2) to compare knowledge attitudes and behaviors of the samples’ in conserving the forest resources and 3) to study the satisfaction of participatory learning process. The sample selected by a purposive sampling consisted of 48 subjects representing the communities around the area of Doi Khun Tan. The instruments included all these: 1) an interview 2) a participatory learning process program for conserving the forest-resources the area of Doi Khun Tan National Park 3) a questionnaire about the knowledge attitude and behavior of conserving forest resources and 4) a questionnaire about their satisfaction with the program. The data elicitation was drawn from three sources: 1) interviews and brainstorming 2) the assessment of the knowledge attitudes behaviors by the questionnaire and 3) the assessment of the satisfaction with the participatory learning process by the questionnaire. The study revealed these findings: 1) the participatory learning process of model fell into 6 steps consisting of a) the analysis of communities key informants and literature reviews b) the implementation of the knowledge to conserve the forest resources c) the implementation of the attitude towards conserving the forest resources d) the implementation of the behaviors of conserving the forest resources e) the assessment of the participatory learning process and f) the evaluation of satisfaction with the program; 2) the subjects’ knowledge attitudes and behaviors regarding forest conservation at the boundary of Doi Khun Tan before and after the participatory learning process are statistically different at the significance level of .05; and 3) the level of their satisfaction with the participatory learning process was high.

The objectives of this research were 1) to study problem of joint learning for children with learning disabilities and 2) to develop a joint learning management model for children with learning disabilities. This study used a sample group of 74 school administrators 87 teachers and 46 supervisors. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed for t-test mean and standard deviation (S.D.). Results revealed that firstly concerning the joint learning management model for children with learning disabilities overall operational condition and need for development were in high level. Considered by item it was found that financial management and procurement were in high level. Secondly comparison of operational condition and need for development in joint learning management for children with learning disabilities between overall results and itemized results was significantly different at the level of .01. Thirdly the joint learning management model for children with learning disabilities consisted of 7 areas: 1) academic administration; 2) management process; 3) Knowledge management; 4) organizational structure and personnel; 5) human resource management; 6) general administration; and 7) financial and procurement management.

Distribution trend of transient temperature profile of copper heat pipe from the start-up of outer wall temperature of evaporator section until the temperature was steady was studied. A two-dimensional model used numerical solution which based on finite difference method. The transient temperature distributions measured in all 3 heat pipe sections were compared with results from the numerical solution of the two-dimensional model that utilized the concept of temperature distribution in the pipe wall during transient operation. Results showed that the experimental trend and the theoretically predicted temperature profiles were similar. Moreover there was good agreement when compared with the numerical simulation of Mistry et al. (2010). Therefore the numerical-validated heat pipe temperature distributions were successfully simulated in a two-dimensional model.

The objective of this research is to propose a forecasting model for uncertain demand index data of steel. The forecasting model proposed by Yelland (2010) was modified by adjusting the prior distributions of some parameters in the model in order that it is suitable for the demand of steel in Thailand. The algorithms for model fitting were written in OpenBUGS. The proposed model was compared to a classical exponential smoothing model. The research found that the forecast errors from the proposed forecasting model were minimum.
