Abstract

              The purposes of this research were to: 1) evaluate students’ satisfaction toward the workshop project designed to prepare students before their teaching practicum in educational institutions; 2) compare students’ knowledge regarding lesson plan writing, research conducting, and project development; 3) investigate the teaching behaviors of students based on the opinions of university supervisors and mentor teachers; and 4) evaluate the impact of the project through the analysis of the number of research topics, research conceptual frameworks, and student development projects that students were able to produce.

               The sample group consisted of 30 students enrolled in the Master of Education Program in Curriculum and Instruction, Faculty of Education, Nakhonratchasima College, who were studying in the course MED63403: Teaching Practicum in Educational Institutions I during the second semester of the 2024 academic year. The participants were selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) a knowledge test on lesson plan writing, research conducting, and project development; 2) a teaching behavior assessment form; and 3) a student satisfaction questionnaire toward the workshop training program. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

            The research findings revealed that: 1) the students’ satisfaction toward the workshop project for preparation before the teaching practicum in educational institutions was at the highest level; 2) the students’ knowledge of lesson plan writing and research conducting after the training was significantly higher than before the training at the 0.01 level of statistical significance; 3) the students’ teaching behaviors were at the highest level; and 4) the students were able to formulate 30 research topics and research conceptual frameworks (100 percent) and develop 27 student development projects (90 percent).
