The Secretary General of the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), Dr. Chinnapat Bhumirat, recently reported that OBEC would organize a round table seminar in the near future to discuss new ideas to change in-class learning. Participants will discuss the concept from the book, "Flip your Classroom", which provides an idea on how to adjust and change in-class activities under the context of ICT which is currently ubiquitous and can be used by students at all times. Dr. Chinnapat said that Thai students participated very little in class as the first 5 minutes were for the lesson introductions, the 20 minutes that followed were for lectures, the next 10 minutes were for demonstrations and only the last 5 minutes were given over to questions and answers. From now on, in-class learning should be reformed through the use of modern technology, just as the students now use tablets to search for information.
"In the future, students will go to class with questions for their teachers. They and their peers will be able to discuss the research topics assigned by their teachers in advance. No one will come to class with an empty brain and wait for teachers to fill it up with knowledge," said Dr. Chinnapat. He added that, if in-class learning was successfully reformed, many schools with limited resources would gain many advantages, especially schools in Southern Thailand, because students would spend less time in class and more time self-learning. However, the infrastructure, the teaching and learning materials and the curriculum need to be prepared and teachers should understand and be ready for the new teaching methodology.
