The objectives of this research were to
learn about students' holistic thinking skills by
developing a set of kits, and then to enhance
students" holistic thinking skills with these kits.
The tools included holistic thinking kits and a
holistic thinking test. The holistic thinking
model comprised four factors plus eight subskills,
which were: observation skills,
discriminating skills, classifying skills, ordering
skills, interconnecting skills, reasoning skills,
integrating skills and knowledge application
skills. The model to practice holistic thinking
should develop basic skills in thinking; first
perception, then skills in classifying and
ordering, interconnecting and reasoning skills,
then skills in data integration and application.
The sample covered 16 students from a 1 st year
vocational high school. It was found that the
average scores of post-test of holistic thinking
skills had significantly increased at the 0.01
significance level.

This study aimed 1) to develop the
course of Electric Transformer on the Intranet
and to find out the efficiency of the modules 2)
to study the students satisfactions of the course.
The tools of this study were : 1) the Intranet
module on the course of Electric Transformer 2)
test and Questionnaires measuring satisfaction.
KMUTT Annual Research Abstracts 2005
The sample was 55 students who studied in the
first year of diploma in Electrical Power of
Pichit Technical College. The module was
experiment and at the end of the course, the
academic achievements of those samples were
analyzed by t-test. The efficiency of the lesson,
E1/E2, was 81.09/81.77 and every group
achieved significantly higher score on post test
than pre test. Lastly, most of students were
highly satisfied with the course provided on the
Intranet.

The objectives of this quantitative
research were to study the conditions and
utilization of learning technology for home
schooling to create learning society in Bangkok
and its territory. The group samples were 6
families by purposive sampling. The tools used
in collecting data were questionnaires and
interviewing with content analysis. The results
found are that most of the parents had limitation
in time that needed to be properly adjusted. They
did not possess adequate knowledge in certain
areas that one could get more from the learning
resources. They had to screen the contents
provided by the media and closely monitor
them. For the evaluation of learning, most
parents disagreed with the idea of having
standard exam papers which did not respond
with the real learning process but evaluating by
parents themselves, the bias had to be
considered carefully. They used observation,
conversation, record-keeping and performance
together with children self-evaluation.
Concerning learning technology utilization,
parents searched for information by attending
seminars, exchanging and consulting with
experienced persons in home schooling.
Furthermore, by learning through various
sources of information such as internet, real-life
experiences, television programmes, books,
video and daily activities.
