Learning Model to Create Conscious Mind Being a Citizenship of Youth in Pattani Province

Abstract

This research article aims to: 1) examine the current problems in learning management for fostering civic consciousness among youth in Pattani Province, 2) explore effective approaches to learning management that promote civic consciousness, and 3) develop a suitable learning management model to instill civic values among youth in the province. This study employed a qualitative research methodology, with a case study approach. The target group consisted of 40 participants, including school administrators, teachers responsible for civic education, and parents of students from nine secondary schools under the Pattani Secondary Educational Service Area Office. The research instruments included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions were conducted. Data were analyzed through content analysis and synthesized into key themes based on the research objectives. The findings revealed that: 1) youth in Pattani face several challenges, including a lack of social interaction skills, excessive engagement with digital technology, and a shortage of creative spaces for personal development and learning; 2) effective learning management should continuously utilize community-based approaches and promote collaboration among all sectors, including the development of creative and inclusive learning spaces for youth; and 3) the development of a civic education model should adhere to the principles of multiculturalism, nonviolence, and human rights. Activities grounded in real-life situations and local contexts enhance students’ awareness of their responsibilities as “good citizens.” Teachers should act as facilitators rather than mere instructors, integrating school curricula with community-based initiatives and developing learning tools that emphasize life skills, democracy, and moral values.
