Constructionism learning skills for Thai vocational student internship teachers: Comparing conceptual models

This research’s objective was to develop a constructionism learning skills model for Thai vocational student internship teachers. The researchers developed a teaching process model by observing experimental teaching methods of Thai university student internship teachers. The data were collected via 5 steps including observing the teaching methods of student internship teachers, analysis and synthesis of the data, interview of the facilitators, and the collection of input from the use of focus groups which were experts in constructionism learning theory, learning processes, and learning innovation. The results became a new model of constructionism learning skills, which was entitled the ‘CDCD Model’ which consisted of four stages including learning to Create, learning to Design, learning to Construct, and learning to Develop. This model is a useful tool for vocational internship student teachers as they progress to their next step in their professional and educational development
