An Online Program to Develop Teachers to Enhance the Innovation Skills of Students

This research focused upon the development of “An Online Program to Develop Teachers to Enhance the Innovation Skills of Students” by gathering teacher learning manuals and a practice manual for teachers to assist in developing students. Moreover, this study adopted the Research and Development (R&D) methodology. As a result of the implementation of R1&D1 to R4&D4, 6 sets of teacher learning manuals and 1 practice manual could be compiled. Additionally, the study employed a one group pre-test/post-test experimental paradigm. Based on the discovered outcomes from employing the manuals in the R5&D5 stage with 11 teachers and 204 students in a school that had been randomly chosen to represent the Division of Buddhist Studies of the National Buddhism Office, it was determined that the research findings had been consistent with the assumptions that had been made. The results demonstrated that the developed online program had been effective given that the post-developmental test for teachers had met the standard of 90/90, and the mean scores had been statistically significantly higher than prior to the development. Moreover, regarding the innovation skills assessment after the development, the results of the students’ mean score had been statistically significantly higher than before. The results proved that the designed online program had been effective and that it could be distributed to the additional Prapariyattidhamma Schools so that they could receive benefits.
