  • The Students' Perceptions Toward Ramkhamhaeng University
    The Students’ Perceptions toward Ramkhamhaeng University Blended Distance Learning Narat Wattanapanit Ramkhamhaeng University [email protected] Abstract This qualitative research paper aimed to investigate graduate students’ perceptions regarding Ramkhamhaeng University’s blended learning practices which included face-to-face, eLearning, as well as other tools in the distance teaching and learning process. Focus group interviews were conducted with graduate students in regional campuses where distance learning was organized. Results revealed that most students prefer distance learning with blended tools. They perceived that blended learning led to social equalization, interactivity, flexibility, dynamic materials, interesting presentation, and motivation to the society and the students. Key word: blended learning, e-Learning, Thai culture, distance learning, face-to-face learning Introduction The Information Technology (IT) has a strategic impact upon organizations and the society [1]. Traditional long distance learning was performed through traditional media such as mail, radio, television broadcasting, and etc. Nowadays, class content can be delivered through the internet system which creates a new form of distance learning. It was estimated that at least 80 percent of business schools in the US now offers online program for students [2]. The internet has been adopted by people around the world. North America had the highest internet penetration rate as a percentage of population at 78.6% followed by Oceania/Australia at 67.6%, Europe at 63.2%, Latin America/Caribbean at 42.9%, Middle East 40.2%, Asia at 27.5% and Africa at 15.6% [3]. Although the penetration percentage in Asia was on the low side, Asia had the largest number of population who used the internet with 1,076.7m users or about 4 times more than North America (273.8m).

  • Samrieng Mekkriengkrai Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Law, Thailand
    Legal Education Reform in Thailand By: Samrieng Mekkriengkrai Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Law, Thailand The expansion of Thai economy has recently had an impact on various sectors in Thailand including the learning and teaching in law schools around the country. This also has led legal profession to be in high demand. Even though prestigious law schools such as Chulalongkorn and Thammasat law schools play active roles in Bangkok, many other educational institutions outside the capital city, both public and private, have been offering law programs to local students on a high competitive basis. Getting admitted into prestigious law schools might be very difficult and highly competitive. Alternatives are always opened for students with different background such as interest, age and availability to still have the opportunity to study law at either private universities, public universities in the provinces like Rajabhat Universities (which have been turned from teachers’ training colleges into public universities) or open universities like Ramkhamhaeng University and Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (on off‐campus or correspondence basis). However, it can be observed that prestigious law schools that offer more business and international related subjects can attract more top students of the country. It can be said that the economic growth has also been one of the main reasons for the students in choosing course they want to take up. The government’s policy in promoting foreign direct investment in Thailand plays significant role in reforming the law school curriculum. The curriculums offered by the universities may be different but they all conform similar standards in order to comply with the changing nature of the international economic arena.

  • Library and Information Science Education in Thailand Pimrumpai
    Library and Information Science Education in Thailand Pimrumpai Premsmit Department of Library Science Faculty of Arts Chulalongkorn University Historical Background Library education in Thailand was initiated at Chulalongkorn University in 1951. A special program in library management was offered under the auspices of the Fulbright with five American professors conducting six courses, one at a time, for five consecutive years. The Department of Library Science in the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn Universtiy was founded in 1955. This was the first library school to offer a diploma program. The objectives of the School are to promote librarianship, provide well-educated librarian to work in various types of libraries, and to support educational programs which depend on extensive library materials. (Suthilak Ambhanwong 1964: 6) A first course on “library use” was offered to freshmen of the Faculty of Arts in 1957. Two years later, a full undergraduate program in library science was offered for juniors and seniors. In 1964, the master’s program in Library Science was introduced. The curriculum was based on that of graduate library schools in United States, with modifications to meet the needs of Thailand. The graduate curriculum consists of both theoretical courses such as library history and library administration; as well as practical courses such as cataloging and classification, and reference services. Dr. Frances L. Spain, an American professor, who was consultant to the program at that time, stated that the graduate level of education for librarianship offered opportunities for librarians to contribute to the progress and direction of library development in Thailand. (Spain 1964: 1) Another graduate level of education offered in 1965 was Advanced Certificate in Library Science at the College of Education, Prasanmitr Campus (now Srinakharinwirot University).
