Kritchaya Poompin — 2025-11-07

This research aimed to achieve two primary objectives: (1) To investigate the anxiety levels among Ramkhamhaeng University Sepak Takraw athletes participating in the 48th University Games of Thailand, and ( 2) To analyze the underlying causes of anxiety among these athletes during the games. The study encompassed a population of 20 Ramkhamhaeng Sepak Takraw athletes. Research instruments consisted of (1) The Competition State Anxiety Inventory – 2 (CSAI-2) and (2) Structured interviews exploring situational anxiety experienced by the Ramkhamhaeng Sepak Takraw athletes. These tools underwent evaluation by three experts to determine item-objective congruence, achieving scores ranging between 0.6 and 1.0.

Results indicated that both the mental (μ = 15.3, σ = 4.791) and physical (μ = 13.6, σ = 3.283) dimensions of anxiety levels among Ramkhamhaeng Sepak Takraw athletes were low. Additionally, the study revealed that self-confidence also stood at a low level (μ = 14.6, σ = 7.161). The qualitative analysis of anxiety interviews unveiled the following findings: (1) Athletes exhibited low anxiety levels attributed to their lack of outcome expectations and extensive experience; ( 2) Key sources of anxiety included training schedules, Sepak Takraw skills, and the competitive environment; ( 3) Athletes employed coping strategies such as positive self-talk and mental imagery to enhance self-confidence, focusing on present experiences rather than dwelling on past errors.

The Relationship between Learning Engagement and Academic Achievement in Blended Learning among Students in the Faculty of Education at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University

Peangreuthai Pudtikunkaseam — 2025-11-07

This research aimed to investigate the relationship between learning engagement and academic achievement in the blended learning instruction among students enrolled in the Faculty of Education at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The sample group consisyed of 126 first-year students selected using stratified random sampling. Data was collected through the administration of measures assessing learning engagement and academic achievement. Subsequently, the obtained data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and the interpretation of the relationship was conducted utilizing a five- level evaluation criterion.
The findings revealed that the correlation coefficient between learning engagement and academic achievement in blended learning was statistically non-significant at a low level (r = .091, p- value = .312). The component of intrinsic motivation exhibited a low-level correlation with academic achievement (r = .119, p-value = .184), while the component of altruism towards learning showed a low-level correlation with academic achievement (r = .023, p-value = .796), and the component of commitment to learning demonstrated a low-level correlation with academic achievement (r = .073, p- value = .418). All of these correlations were statistically non-significant at the 0.05 level.

(2) Students' analytical thinking scores after engaging with the board games were significantly higher than their scores before the intervention, with statistical significance at the .05 level. (3) Students who participated in the sessions using the board games designed to enhance analytical thinking skills reported the highest level of satisfaction (M = 4.64, SD = 0.58).

Q-Methodology: A Systematic Review of Research Studies in the TCI Database

Sakkaphat T. Ngamake — 2025-11-07

As Q methodology has increasingly received attention among scholars on a global scale, it may not receive as much attention from Thai scholars (or from research studies published in the TCI). Despite its burgeoning popularity, scholars and researchers may not conduct Q methodology properly and/or may not report the use of Q methodology thoroughly. The objective of this study was to undertake a systematic review of empirical studies employing Q methodology within the TCI, intending to benchmark the research practices against those delineated in international scholarship. Within the confines of the TCI, we found nine articles that employ both Q sort and Q factor analysis, the two essential components of Q methodology. Comparatively, the proportion of methodologically sound studies (qualified by using both Q sort and Q factor analysis) was found to be lower in the TCI in contrast to its international counterparts. However, despite such a difference, the studies meeting the aforementioned criteria within the TCI exhibited research practices and reporting standards akin to those observed in international databases, thereby illuminating a positive trend in the utilization of Q methodology among Thai scholars. Notwithstanding these encouraging observations, there remain gaps for scholars to refine the application of Q methodology for the collective advancement of research communities.

The effects of an integrative individual online counseling program based on narrative theory and psychological training on the perfectionism of Generation Y employees

Saichai Kraisrisinsuk — 2025-11-07

This study aimed to examine the effects of an integrative individual online counseling program based on narrative theory and psychological training on the perfectionism of Generation Y employees. The sample comprised 20 full-time employees aged between 27 and 42, working in companies located in Bangkok, who scored above the threshold for perfectionism. The experimental group (n=10) received the integrative individual online counseling program based on narrative theory and psychological training, while the control group (n=10) did not receive the intervention. The research instruments included a perfectionism assessment and the integrative individual online counseling program. Perfectionism scores were measured at three stages: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up. The findings revealed that the experimental group had statistically significantly lower mean perfectionism scores at both post-intervention and follow-up stages compared to the pre-intervention stage (p < .05). Furthermore, the experimental group’s mean perfectionism scores at post-intervention and follow-up stages were statistically significantly lower than those of the control group (p < .05). Thus, the integrative individual online counseling program based on narrative theory and psychological training is effective in reducing perfectionism tendencies among Generation Y employees.
