The impact of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) cooperative learning approach on the mathematical proficiency and self-perception of elementary school pupils was examined in this study. With two intact primary 5 classrooms, a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test approach was used. The TPS model of collaborative learning was used to teach mathematics to the experimental group (n = 26), whereas traditional teacher-centered approaches were used to educate the control group (n = 26). A self-concept questionnaire and an achievement test in standardized mathematics were used to gather data. The study was conducted using four research questions. Regardless of starting achievement levels, the experimental group's mathematics performance significantly improved on post-tests following a 6-week intervention. Descriptive statistics, t statistics and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data. According to the results, pupils in the experimental group significantly outperformed those in the control group in both their mathematics achievement and mathematics self-concept scores. These results offer compelling empirical support for the TPS model's efficacy as a teaching method for raising students' academic achievement in mathematics while simultaneously encouraging positive attitudes and self-assurance in their mathematical prowess.
This study examines the development patterns of ethnic identity learning resources of the Lao Wiang community at Udom Thani Temple, a site recognized for its best practices in providing continuous identity-based learning for youth and visitors. This qualitative research employed participatory and non-participatory observation, interviews, and in-depth interviews. Key informants were selected through snowball sampling, including resource managers, community youth, tourists, and stakeholders. Data credibility was ensured through triangulation and analyzed using content analysis. The findings are presented in two phases. First, the community background reveals that Udom Thani Temple is a settlement of Thai people of Lao Wiang descent who migrated from Vientiane during the late Thonburi period (before B.E. 2320). An important ancestral figure, Mae Kaewta, brought a Buddha image enshrined in a Lao Wiang-style temple hall, which has been preserved and is known as Luang Pho Kaewta Temple. Second, the development model consists of five systematic processes: (1) documenting and preserving identity-related information such as history, artifacts, culture, migration, and way of life; (2) transforming this information into learning resources through landscape design, a living museum, and educational activities; (3) sustaining identity through traditional customs and cultural events; (4) managing resources through community participation and local wisdom; and (5) disseminating knowledge via diverse media and digital technologies.
Effective communication is often regarded as a critical driver of organizational performance, yet there is limited empirical study on the interplay between communication barriers and workplace behavior. This study investigates how communication barriers affect organizational outcomes: productivity, organizational culture, employee satisfaction, and retention, when workplace behavior is present as a mediator in the Thai logistics industry. Using 112 data collected from employees of several logistics companies in Thailand, a path analysis was performed in Amos. The findings show that all four organizational outcomes are significantly predicted by communication barriers. The mediation analysis discovers that workplace behavior fully mediates the impact of communication barriers on productivity and employee satisfaction, partially mediates organizational culture, and has no mediating effect on retention. These results highlight how crucial behavioral congruence and efficient workplace communication are to improving output and employee satisfaction. Organizations that prioritize barrier-free communication and positive workplace behavior are better positioned to create a strong organizational culture and grow sustainably.
This research examines the relationships among entrepreneurial intention, willingness to change, digital leadership, and digital entrepreneurship in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia, situated within the Saudi Vision 2030 national transformation agenda. A quantitative approach was adopted, involving a survey of 149 managers drawn from a sampling frame of 349 technology-based SMEs in Saudi Arabia. A structured questionnaire was used, with scales adapted from prior research to ensure reliability and validity. Data were analyzed using Stata-SEM to assess the hypothesized relationships among the constructs. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial intention significantly influences technology-based enterprise development (b = 0.333, z = 2.265, p = 0.024), with willingness to change serving as a crucial mediator in this relationship (b = 0.454, z = 4.039, p < 0.001). Additionally, digital leadership (b = 0.437, z = 4.461, p < 0.001) and digital entrepreneurship (b = 0.286, z = 1.958, p = 0.050) were found to significantly moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and enterprise development, with digital leadership exerting the stronger moderating effect. This research contributes to the existing literature on entrepreneurship by providing empirical evidence of the interrelated nature of these constructs in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, while offering practical insights for entrepreneurs, organizational leaders, and Vision 2030 policymakers seeking to foster innovation and adaptability within SMEs.
The rapid expansion of digital media has transformed parenting practices, with mothers increasingly turning to online platforms for advice, emotional support, and guidance on health-related matters. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on mothers' online advice-seeking behaviour, aiming to map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and research trends within the interdisciplinary field. Publications indexed in Scopus between 2016 and 2025 were screened using PRISMA framework, yielding 177 eligible studies for analysis. Co-citation and co-occurrence analyses were conducted using VOSviewer to identify intellectual structure, dominant themes, and emerging research trends within the field. Co-citation analysis was conducted to identify foundational knowledge bases and influential research streams, while co-occurrence analysis of author keywords was used to reveal dominant themes and emerging research directions. The findings indicate that maternal online advice-seeking research is strongly anchored in public health, maternal psychology, and digital health communication, with focus on breastfeeding, pregnancy, infant care, and postpartum support. Digital platforms, social media and mobile technologies, have emerged as central ecosystems for exchanging maternal information and providing peer-based support. The results highlight the dual role of online parenting spaces as extensions of healthcare communication systems and informal social support networks. However, the literature remains heavily concentrated on biomedical concerns, with limited attention to sociotechnical issues such as digital misinformation, influencer-driven parenting cultures, and algorithmic content exposure. This study contributes a comprehensive overview of research landscape and offers insights to inform future scholarship, digital parenting practices, and maternal health communication interventions.
