such self-winning habits as (a) Begin with the
End in Mind, and (b) Put First Things First.
1.6 Be Proactive is involved with planning,
imagination, critical thinking and free
determination. To accomplish this, we must
develop such disciplines as (a) Personal
Mastery, and (b) Mental Models.
1.7 Begin with the End in Mind is involved
with personal mission and the centre of heart. To
accomplish this, we must develop such
disciplines as (a) Personal Mastery, and (b)
Shared Vision.
1.8 Put First Things First is involved with
time management, self management and project
management. To accomplish this, we must
develop such disciplines as (a) Team Learning,
and (b) Systems Thinking.
1.9 Think Win/Win is involved with
making ourselves and others better. To
accomplish this, we must develop such
disciplines as (a) Shared Vision, and (b) Team
Learning.
1.10 Seek First to Understand ... then to be
Understood is involved with the capability to
communicate and to raise a question. To
accomplish this, we must develop such
disciplines as (a) Mental Models, (b) Shared
Vision, and (c) Team Learning.
1.11 Synergy is involved with physical
power and mental power. To accomplish this,
we must develop such disciplines as (a) Shared
Vision, and (b) Team Learning.
1.12 Sharpen the Saw is involved with
intellect, soul, emotion and physical. To
accomplish this, we must develop such
disciplines as (a) Personal Mastery, (b) Mental
Models, and (c) Systems Thinking.
2) When the results of Learning Organization
Model Evaluation and the Knowledge of
Learning Organization were compared between
pre and posttest training, it was found the
posttest training (X = 3.71. X = 3.79) was
greater than the pretest training (X = 3.35, X =
3.24)

This KMUTT project is aimed at the
promotion of self-directed learning skill through
the energy conservation project. In this academic
year (2004), we provided a hands-on workshop
to serve such aspects to about 200 rural high
school students. The students were divided in
five experimental groups to carry out
preliminary studies on: a) energy generated from
motor and dynamo, b) alternative energy sources
such as from fruits and vegetables, c) renewable
energy sources e.g., sunlight, wind and water, d)
hot air balloon, and e) constructing an energy
saving house. In each experiment topic, eight to
ten students; under supervision of one welltrained
facilitator; were challenged to design and
set up their own experiment adopted by the
constructionism theory. After having an
adequate background of energy resources and
mind map skill, the students were then
challenged problems on maximizing the use of
locally-available and renewable resources such
as sun light, water, wind and biodiesel for
sustainable energy. The authentic problem based
learning was applied to develop their
competency in science process skill such as
observing, hypothesis setting, critical thinking,
problem solving, and experimental skills as well
as constructing their knowledge by themselves.
The assessment of learning behavior in project
planning, problem solving, creative thinking,
vision sharing, team learning, enthusiasm, and
assertiveness, observed and evaluated by the
facilitators showing that the students were full of
enthusiasm in their project however, they had a
light degree of self-assertiveness. At present,
two groups of students have proposed energy
conservation project grants on Water Pumping
from Merry-go-round and Charcoal from
Coconut Shell. These show that the students are
able to integrate knowledge on energy and
environmental conservation into their daily life.
