Descriptive analysis was used to examine and report data from documents and fieldwork. The outcomes are as follows: 1) According to MoLam research, when the colonial country invaded this region, the Thai Lao ethnic culture in northeastern Thailand and Lao PDR was split. On the Thai side, individuals flocked to the center area to meet with Siam. MoLam in the Northeast has steadily developed since then, and it may be classified into four types: (a) non-dramatic MoLam, (b) dramatic MoLam, (c) ritual MoLam, and (d) miscellaneous MoLam; 2) As Thai society enters the internet era, there are numerous popular entertainment mediums, leading people’s morals to shift and lowering people’s interest in viewing MoLam performances and roles. The goal is to find a way to pass down this performance art to future generations; 3) Knowledge transfer: After synthesizing the material to be taught, the students are separated into two groups: (a) MoLam singing has been practiced by a group of elementary and high school students; (b) MoLam singing, and music have been practiced by a group of students at higher education institutions. Under the established parameters, both groups have extra talents. In conclusion, this study may be utilized as a model for conveying local wisdom information.","PeriodicalId":314203,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Issues","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124858151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aimed to explore the needs of English language teaching and learning in upper secondary schools, emphasizing listening and speaking skills. The participants were 352 students from nine upper secondary schools in northeast Thailand. Survey research was employed in the study, and the data was collected through a questionnaire comprising five aspects as an instrument. Statistics were used, including mean, standard deviation, and modified priority needs index (PNImodified). The findings found that the highest ranking from the teaching and learning management aspect was that students needed learning activities to be arranged and introduced into the lesson. Then, the highest ranking of the teacher aspect showed that students needed to use strategies or activities to assist them in developing listening and speaking skills. Next, the highest ranking of the language use aspect was the need for a variety of activities to help students use vocabulary related to the lesson, followed by the highest ranking of the English listening and speaking aspect, which was the need to encourage students to practice English listening and speaking in the classroom. Finally, the highest ranking of the assessment and reflection aspect was the need for students to be given a rating for using language in the classroom.

The study consisted of amateur footballers in Isparta province. The sample group consisted of 194 male athletes who played in amateur teams. In this study, the personal information and the sports self-confidence scale and the commitment to team goals scale in the literature were used. Continuous Sport-confidence Scale was developed by Vealey (1986) and adapted to Turkish by Engür et al. (2006).The scale consists of 13 items in total and constitutes a dimension of the Sport-confidence scale. The overall internal consistency coefficient in the adaptation study of the scale was found to be 0.89. Goal Commitment Scale in Sports was developed by Klein vd (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Şenel and Yıldız (2016). The scale, which consists of 5 items and a single sub-dimension, is a five-point Likert-type scale. The overall internal consistency coefficient in the adaptation study of the scale was found to be 0.70. Statistical analysis was performed in computer environment. Pearson correlation analysis (r) was applied. As a result, it was observed that amateur football players participating in the study had high levels of sport-confidence and commitment to team goals. A moderate positive correlation was found between sport-confidence and commitment to team goals. This is thought to be due to the fact that amateur football players want to prove themselves and that the success of the team is also adopted as the success of their football players.","PeriodicalId":314203,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Issues","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125507563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
