Development of Training Program for Project Based Fundamental Vocational Subject to Enhance Creative Thinking

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) develop the training program for project based fundamental vocational subject to enhance creative thinking 2) to find the efficiency of the training program for project based fundamental vocational subject to enhance creative thinking. The results can be concluded as follows: 1) The development of training program for project based fundamental vocational subject to enhance creative thinking revealed that the training model consisted of 7 stages, i.e. analysis of basic industrial product design, content and teaching plan, defining teaching objectives, writing lesson plan of the fundamental vocational subject based on 7 steps of LAC Theory, pilot study of the training model, implementation, evaluation, feedback, and follow-up study. This training model was validated by the experts with very high appropriate and supporting the hypothesis. 2) The results of the developing training model 12 topics. Each topic included behavioral objective, content handout, exercise, media, training method, training plan, and test. 3) The evaluation of the model efficiency was conducted by CIPP Model with the results in 4 main aspects. (1) The content evaluation showed high congruence between training topics and training objectives with very high appropriateness of the training model. (2) The input valuation revealed high congruence between behavioral objectives and the training model components and content. (3) The process evaluation reported the results of model implementation on high theoretical achievement at 84.07/80.94 and the practical achievement at 80.74 higher than the set criteria resulting in high satisfaction of the trainees. (4) The product evaluation was conducted by the follow-up study appropriately resulting in high satisfaction of the Department Heads and students. Finally it can be concluded that the development of training program for project based fundamental vocational subject to enhance creative thinking achieved higher than the set criteria according to the research hypothesis.
