The Protection of Community Rights and Environmental Justice under the Rule of Law by the Administrative Court

Thawatchai Suksai — 2026-02-28

The purpose of this article is to present the concept of community rights and environmental justice, which are fundamental principles recognized in the Thai Constitution and modern environmental law. In particular, when disputes arise between the people and the state or administrative agencies, the Administrative Court plays a crucial role in examining whether the exercise of administrative power is lawful, consistent with the rule of law, and fair to communities. The Administrative Court, therefore, is not merely a mechanism for adjudicating cases but also an instrument for safeguarding fundamental rights to live in a good environment. Environmental problems, caused by the activities of individuals, legal entities, and various sectors, have led to three major challenges: (1) climate change, (2) environmental pollution, and (3) loss of biodiversity. When these environmental problems cause distress, damage, or impacts on individuals and legal entities, disputes inevitably arise. To resolve such disputes, affected persons may choose to exercise their right to litigation before the Administrative Court, seeking remedies for actual or potential harm. Within this context, the Administrative Court plays a significant role in protecting community rights and ensuring environmental justice by applying the rule of law as its guiding framework. The Court not only provides solutions to conflicts between the public and the state but also serves as a mechanism to control state power and safeguard the fundamental rights of the people.

Integrating Coaching Supervision with Design Thinking Process toward a New Supervision Model

nittha peerachaipawong — 2026-02-28

This study aimed to integrate coaching supervision with design thinking processes to develop a new supervision model called “EDIPI Supervision Process.” This integration combined the strengths of both approaches: the internal capacity development of coaching supervision and the deep problem understanding alongside innovation creation of design thinking. The EDIPI Supervision Process consists of five main steps: Empathize & Discover, Define Goals, Ideate & Options, Prototyping & Reflection, and Iterative Coaching, with teachers at the center of every step. This process synthesizes Vygotsky's Social Learning Theory, Constructivist Theory, Clinical Supervision Theory, Reflective Practice Theory, as well as concepts from Joyce and Showers, the GROW Model, and Cognitive Coaching from coaching supervision, integrated with design thinking processes. This supervision model is flexible, responsive to teachers' needs, promotes creative thinking and practical experimentation, leads to sustainable development, and enables educational supervisors to serve as true mentors in guiding teachers toward using educational innovations that effectively meet learners' needs.

A Co-Development Supervision: Process that Promotes Instructional Innovation in Extra-Large Schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Bangkok 2

Ketkarn Buanak — 2026-02-28

This academic article aims to examine the roles, characteristics, and processes of
co-development supervision as a mechanism for promoting instructional innovation in extra-large schools. The study is based on a synthesis of concepts, theories, and related research from both national and international sources, with an analytical focus on the relationship between supervision practices and the systemic context of extra-large schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Bangkok 2. These schools are characterized by hierarchical administrative structures, multiple divisions and subject departments, and complex organizational responsibilities. School administrators are required to manage policy decision-making, quality assurance, and coordination with multiple external agencies, which poses significant challenges to internal communication and the effective translation of policy from the administrative level to classroom practice. Moreover, high expectations from parents and local communities—particularly regarding teachers’ instructional capacity and student learning quality—further intensify the need for a robust internal supervision system.
The synthesis reveals that co-development supervision is a collaborative supervision process grounded in partnership between supervisors and teachers. It employs coaching techniques, questioning strategies, reflective practices, and evidence-based learning to support continuous teacher professional development. This process encourages teachers to design and implement instructional innovations that respond to the learning needs of students in the 21st century. The co-development supervision process comprises four key stages: (1) co-planning, (2) co-designing instructional innovations, (3) co-observation of classroom practices, and (4) co-reflection and feedback. These stages contribute to the sustainable enhancement of teacher quality and student learning outcomes in extra-large school contexts.

Developing the Capabilities of Early Childhood Teachers and Young Children in Artificial Intelligence through Project-Based Activities

Jaruwan Sasungnoen — 2026-02-28

This academic article aims to propose a systematic framework for designing a project that enhances artificial intelligence (AI) competencies among early childhood teachers and young students. Early childhood is a critical period of rapid brain development, during which young students exhibit strong curiosity, learn effectively through play and experimentation, actively interact with their environment, and demonstrate a high capacity to respond to technological media. Artificial intelligence has become an integral component of everyday life; therefore, as technological advancements continue to accelerate, educators are required to adapt their pedagogical practices by integrating AI-related instructional approaches aligned with the frameworks of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) (2021) into early childhood classrooms. Such integration aims to enhance the quality of learners across diverse educational contexts while ensuring responsiveness to ongoing social and technological transformations. Accordingly, the implementation of educational projects that promote AI literacy and competencies among early childhood teachers and young students is essential in the 21st century. Professional development in AI provides early childhood teachers with opportunities to design integrated learning experiences through play-based approaches, including plugged activities utilizing AI tools and intelligent toys, as well as unplugged activities employing simulated smart devices. These learning activities foster multisensory engagement and holistic development. In this context, teachers assume the role of learning designers who strategically integrate technology in ways that are developmentally appropriate, safe, and pedagogically meaningful. Furthermore, strengthening teachers’ knowledge, conceptual understanding, and positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence is a critical factor in driving the sustainable implementation of AI education at the early childhood level. This article also highlights the benefits for young students in terms of the development of logical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and collaborative competencies. In addition, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration among teachers, parents, and communities in cultivating positive attitudes toward technology. Finally, the article proposes policy-oriented recommendations to support the integration of artificial intelligence within community-based early childhood education, contributing to the enhancement of learner quality, the promotion of educational equity, and the long-term strengthening of Thai society.

From the qualitative analysis, it was found that military officers believe political knowledge promotion should remain within the framework of discipline and official ethics. Emphasis should be placed on rational thinking, responsibility, and non-partisanship. Agencies should organize campaigns or educational activities on civic rights in ways that comply with civil service regulations, to help foster responsible and democratic-minded citizens. The findings were synthesized into a conceptual framework referred to as the M.I.L.E.S Model.
