An Analysis of Ordinary
National Education Test Result of Grade 6 and 9 Students in the Phuket province
in the academic year of 2010 and 2013
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Abstract
The purposes of this study
were; 1) to investigate the test scores of the Ordinary National Educational
Test (O-NET) in eight major subjects which were administered for elementary
students level 6 (Prathomsuksa 6) and secondary students level 3
(Matthayomsuksa 3) of the academic year 2010 and 2013 in Phuket; 2) to compare
the students’ the O-NET scores between the different types of schools: the
Phuket City Municipality , the Office of the Private Education Commission, the
Local Administrative Organization, Phuket primary
educational service area
office and the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 14; and 3) to analyze
the quality of the O-NET test. There were 9,451 students from 53 schools:
elementary and secondary levels who had participated the O-NET test of the
academic year 2010 and 2013; were joined in this study. In addition, two school
directors and twenty one teachers attended the focus group meeting in order to
analyze the quality of the O-NET test. The results illustrated that; the
highest O-NET scores of the elementary students level 6 in 2010 and 2013 were
the health and physical education subject. However, the lowest scores were the
foreign language subject. Similarly, the secondary students level 3 got the
highest scores in the health and physical education subject; whereas, their
scores of the foreign language and math subjects were the lowest. Furthermore,
both schools in the Phuket City Municipality and the Office of the Private
Education Commission reached the highest O-NET scores of the elementary level 6
respectively. In contrast, the schools in the Local Administrative Organization
and the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 14 took the highest scores of
the secondary level 3 consecutively. Moreover, the gathered opinions and
suggestions from the focus group meeting towards the design of the O-NET test
ought
to specify the educational
standard points or the indicators in all subjects and informed the public in
advance. It was also summarized that the test could have various types of test
not only multiple choice, and the test should be carried out in the type of
pararell by switching the test item which has to be concerned about the
difficulty levels and the appropriate length of time. Also, the content of the
test should be reviewed in case of preparing students for testing. Finally, the
schools should utilize the results of the O-NET score to improve the students’
capability in all subjects.

Abstract The purpose of this
study was aimed to study the factors affecting the decisions of under graduate
students on taking extra English language courses in tutorial schools in Muang
District, Chiang Mai, and the researcher adapted the factors based on the 8 Ps
of services marketing by Lovelock and Wirtz (2007). The researcher collected
data from 385 undergraduate students who were taking extra English classes in
tutorial schools in Muang District, Chiang Mai during the second semester of
the academic year 2014. The result was shown that all factors were very
important in affecting the decisions of undergraduate students on taking extra
English courses in tutorial schools in Muang District, Chiang Mai. However, the
mean of people was the highest factor, followed by product elements, promotion,
productivity and quality, place, process, physical environment and price,
respectively. This study also showed that the mean of People was the highest
factor for first and second year level of undergraduate students while the mean
of Product Elements was the highest factor for third and fourth year or higher
level of undergraduate students. The lowest factor for all year levels of
undergraduate students was the mean of price.

The Emergence of
Entrepreneurship Education: Development, Trends, and Challenges
…………………………………………………………………………..
Donald F. Kuratko
Abstract
Entrepreneurship has emerged
over the last two decades as arguably the most potent economic force the world
has ever experienced. With that expansion has come a similar increase in the
field of entrepreneurship education. The recent growth and development in the
curricula and programs devoted to entrepreneurship and new–venture creation
have been remarkable. The number of colleges and universities that offer
courses related to entrepreneurship has grown from a handful in the 1970s to
over 1,600 in 2005. In the midst of this huge expansion remains the challenge
of complete academic legitimacy for entrepreneurship. While it can be argued
that some legitimacy has been attained in the current state of entrepreneurship
education, there are critical challenges that lie ahead. This article focuses
on the trends and challenges in entrepreneurship education for the 21st
century.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the
effectiveness of self-management education and physical training in decreasing
fibromyalgia (FMS) symptoms and increasing physical and psychological well
being. METHODS: A pretest-posttest control group design was used. Ninety-nine
women with FMS were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups; 86 completed the study.
The education only group received a 6-week self-management course. The
education plus physical training group received the course and 6 h of training
designed to assist them to exercise independently. The control group got
treatment after 3 months. RESULTS: The experimental programs had a significant
positive impact on quality of life and self-efficacy. Helplessness, number of
days feeling bad, physical dysfunction, and pain in the tender points decreased
significantly in one or both of the treated groups when retested 6 weeks after
the end of the program. Longterm followup of 67 treated subjects showed significant
positive changes on
the Fibromyalgia Impact
Questionnaire primarily in the physical training group. Among all subjects, 87%
were exercising at least 3 times/week for 20 min or more; 46% said they had
increased their exercise level since participating in the program; 70% were
practicing relaxation strategies as needed; 46% were working at least half time
as opposed to 37% at pretest. CONCLUSION: Self-efficacy of the treated groups
was enhanced significantly by the program. Other changes were smaller and more
delayed than had been expected. Recommendations for future trials include a
longer education program, more vigorous physical training, and longterm
followup.

An Evaluation of an
Innovative Multimedia Educational Software Program for Asthma Management:
Report of a Randomized, Controlled Trial
Charles Homer, Oded

Abstract
Background. Asthma continues
to be a substantial cause of morbidity in pediatric populations. New strategies
are needed to provide cost-effective educational interventions for children
with asthma, particularly those in the inner city.
Objective. To assess the
effectiveness of a multimedia educational software program about asthma.
Setting. A hospital-based
primary care clinic and an affiliated neighborhood health center.
Design. Randomized,
controlled trial.
Population. Children 3 to 12
years old with physician-diagnosed asthma.
Intervention. An interactive
educational computer program, Asthma Control, designed to teach children about
asthma and its management. Using a graphic display of a child going through
simulated daily events, the game emphasizes: 1) monitoring; 2) allergen
identification; 3) use of medications; 4) use of health services; and 5)
maintenance of normal activity. Control group participants reviewed printed
educational materials with a research assistant.
Outcomes. Acute health care
use (emergency department and outpatient) was the primary outcome. Secondary
outcome measures included maternal report of asthma symptom severity, child
functional status and school absences, satisfaction with care, and parental and
child knowledge of asthma.
Results. A total of 137
families were enrolled in the study (76 intervention, 61 control). Both
intervention and control groups showed substantial improvement in all outcomes
during the 12-month follow-up period. Aside from improvement in knowledge after
use of the computer program, no differences were demonstrated between the 2
groups in primary or secondary outcome measures. Children reported enjoyment of
program use.
Conclusions. This trial of
an educational software program found that it did not produce greater
improvement than occurred with review of traditional written materials. Because
both groups showed substantial improvement over baseline, computer-based
education may be more cost-effective. Alternatively, improvements in illness
severity over time may overshadow the effects of such interventions.
Rigorous comprehensive
evaluations such as this are necessary to assess new interventions intended to
improve management and outcomes of asthma.
Natural resources,
education, and economic development
………………………………………………………………
Abstract
Economic growth since 1965
has varied inversely with the share of natural capital in national wealth
across countries. Four main channels of
transmission from abundant
natural resources to stunted economic development are discussed: (a) the Dutch
disease, (b) rent seeking, (c) overconfidence, and (d) neglect of education.
Public expenditure on education relative to national income, expected years of
schooling for girls, and gross secondary-school enrolment are all shown to be inversely
related to the share of natural capital in national wealth across countries.
Natural capital appears to crowd out human capital, thereby slowing down the
pace of economic development.
Treatment Foster Care:
Toward Development Of Community-Based Models For Adolescents With Severe
Emotional And Behavioral Disorders
Kevin J. Moore, Patricia

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Abstract
Currently, there is a severe
lack of midrange community-based treatment models for adolescents with severe
emotional and behavioral disorders (SED)
(Wells&Whittington,
1990). The Treatment Foster Care (TFC) program has the potential to expand the
development of such models for these youths. The aim of TFC is to provide a
community-based, relatively nonrestrictive treatment in a setting where youths
are not separated from nondisabled peers or isolated from their own families.
TFC can be used before youths with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are
placed in more restrictive institutional treatment settings. In addition, TFC
appears to be a promising model to include when out-of-home and/or
out-of-community placements are considered for children and adolescents with
EBD. This article presents the program components and research direction of the
Oregon Social Learning Center's TFC program for adolescents who have SED and need
outof-home care. The article concludes with a case study of a typical
program intervention in an
educational setting.
