2019-10-14T01:21:20+07:00

Buddhism course on the topic of Buddhism religious day, because learning management in this subject emphasized only lecture. Therefore, learning in this class is not interesting. From the observation of students’ behaviors, we found that students lacked of interest in this religious study and lacked of faith in Buddhism. Among the society of Thai people in this era (2016), people are fond of valuable objects and far off from Buddhism. Because the social value today is degenerated, people in the society lack of responsibility for community, and being more selfish. Thai children are considered to be the country’s development in the future. For this reason, developing the efficiency of children is the important thing as indicated in National Education Act of 2010, section 28: Learning management must improve humankinds and make them have equality in knowledge, perception, ability, goodness, and responsibility in society. From the problems above, researchers see the significance of Buddha’s moral teaching, so we would bring and adapt it for using to solve the problems in future lives. Morals of religious day are considered to be the heart of Buddhism. They are rational and approvable by multiple ways of learning that emphasize the importance of learners. They arouse learners to be interested to learn and to care of religious study more than before. This research is an experimental research that has the main purposes as the following: 1.) to improve the results of school learning in social study on the topic of morals of Buddhism religious day by using assignment with Active learning. 2.) to compare its previous results to after results. 3.) to study the satisfaction of students in using the assignments and Active learning.

The objectives of this knowledge sharing practice were to: 1) develop/improve work performance of personnel of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University; 2) provide guidelines to enhance the online system for changing of grade “I”; and 3) transform a routine work on the development of the online free enrollment system into a research. The group members held a series of meeting with the purpose to share and exchange knowledge and experiences with each other to develop an online system for changing grade “I”. The group also invited an expert in the field to give suggestions on the developed system. The KM group was formed by a cooperation of academic supporting staff whose duties involved changing grade “I” for undergraduate students. The group members consisted of staff members from 9 organizations within the university including: 1) the Academic Services Division; 2) the Faculty of Management Science; 3) College of Innovations and Management; 4) College of Logistics and Supply Chain; 5) Nakhon Pathom Education center; 6) the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts; 7) the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; 8) the Office of General Education and Innovative Electronic Learning; and 9) the International College.
The results of the knowledge sharing practice showed that the old system used by the faculties/colleges/education centers to change grade “I” for students was not sufficiently efficient. Based on the old system, the supporting staff had to gather all the request form for changing of grade “I” from lecturers and presented them in the meeting of the faculty/college/education center to gain an approval. After that, they had to prepare a memo requesting to change grade “I” for students and submit it to the Registrar’s Office to process the requests. The steps in this old system sometimes caused a delay in changing of grade “I”. Upon realizing this problem, the group members conducted the knowledge sharing practice and developed the online system for changing of grade “I” which allowed staff members of the faculties/colleges/education center to be able to confirm the change of grade “I”. Along with the implementation of the online system, other practices were also needed including: 1) scheduling a time period for changing of grade “I” for each semester and announcing this on the university academic calendar 2) lecturers of each course should be persons who changed grade “I” via the online system and submitted a report of changing of grade “I” to the faculties/colleges/education center to ask for an approval; 3) the Registrar’s Office proceeded the request on the system.

The knowledge sharing on this topic was conducted via a series of group meetings in which the members of group actively shared their work experiences, problems, techniques on student enrollment with each other. The group members also exchanged their knowledge with personnel from the faculties/colleges/educational centers. Moreover, they also searched information from various secondary sources and established a knowledge management action plan to guide their practices. They analyzed the knowledge gained form the knowledge sharing activities and transformed them into a new body of knowledge. The members of the KM group consisted of academic supporting staff from 8 internal organizations: 1) the Academic Services Division; 2) the Faculty of Science and Technology; 3) the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty; 4) the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts; 5) the Faculty of Management Science; 6) the Faculty of Education; 7) the Demonstration School of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University; and the Nakhon Pathom Education Center. The members worked together to develop the online free enrollment system. Experts in the field of course enrollment were invited to check and comment the efficiency of system. They also gave suggestions to improve the system.
The results of the knowledge sharing indicated that the previous system which students had to enroll courses according to the study plans set by the faculties/colleges had a limitation in that students were not allowed to enroll in courses based on their willingness and real interest. This may affect the students’ CGPA and some students may be eventually retired. Therefore, the members of the KM group agreed that this university enrollment system needed to be changed into the new system which allowed students to enroll in any courses based on their own interest. This new system was known as the “Free Enrollment”. Based on this system, the Registrar’s Office would open and close the system according to the university academic calendar. Students would be able to enroll in/add-drop courses by themselves at reg.ssru.ac.th. However, if students would like to make a request on late course enrollment/adding-dropping, they had to contact their faculty/college/education center to proceed their request, and they also needed to download a bill payment and pay for a tuition fee at any banks/counter services. The newly developed system would allow the students to make their own decision on the study plan according to their interest. It also helped reduce the workload and working hours of related staff as well as reduced the document storage area in the office.

Public debt management is a very special niche area within public finance that can connect fiscal policy with monetary policy and helps to understand the implications of any policy links between financial sectors and real sectors of the economy. Public debt has played a critical role in many governments’ economic life. During economic and political crisis, public debt is often either the cause or result. OECD Sovereign Borrowing Outlook 2017 gives a framework for showing the advanced economies gross public debt as a percentage of GDP through 19th century till today. It is very striking that the current debt levels of the advanced economies are the same as in the World War II. Until the previous decade, Turkey has been consistently forced into paying the external debt as a result of the combination of loose monetary and fiscal policies. The aim of this study, based on Turkish case, is to show how its public debt has become more sustainable recently by analyzing the role of macroeconomic policies. Besides, we indicate the steps taken in risk management and debt sustainability ensured driving power of structural transformation of Turkish economy. In the view of such information, Turkish experience for managing the previous economic and political crisis and current debt problem are considered.
