The Development Model of Classroom Standards-Based Curriculum According to the Basic Education Core Curriculum BE 2551

The objectives of this research were: (1) to study the state, problems and needs of teachers in developing classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum BE 2551, (2) to develop the development model of classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum BE 2551, and (3) to study the result of implementing the model for developing teachers. The target group consisted of the pilot project schools’ teachers taught in 2552 academic year, 34 persons, under jurisdiction of the Office of Udonthani Educational Service Area 3. Percentage, average, standard deviation, and t-test were employed for data analysis. The research findings were: 1. The state, problems and needs of teachers in developing classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum BE 2551 revealed that constructing a classroom curriculum is new idea to the teachers. They mostly needed to be developed how to construct a classroom standards-based curriculum; to design standards-based learning unit, activity, and learning styles including their practicum methods. 2. The results of developing the development model of classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum shown that knowledge creating and essential skills promoting through shared learning process among school administrators, teachers, and educational supervisors are major concerned. There are 5 steps of the development model: Step 1 A preliminary treatment, Step 2 A guideline development, Step 3 In-classroom practicum, Step 4 Lesson-learned and Reflection, and Step 5 Systemisation. 2.1 There are seven components of classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum. 2.2 The efficiency of the model shown that the experts and teachers agreed: 1.) Its contents were academically accurate and can be applied in developing a classroom standards-based curriculum, 2.) Its processes and training activities were capable leading to a classroom application 3. The results of implementing the model for developing teachers discovered that after employing the model, the teachers gained more knowledge and comprehension of the development of a classroom standards-based curriculum statistically significant at level of .05. All of them were not only capable of constructing a classroom standards-based curriculum at good level, but, after employing the model, also satisfied with its outcome at high level. In conclusion, the development model of classroom standards-based curriculum according to the basic education core curriculum BE 2551 was capable of providing teacher gained knowledge and comprehension of development a classroom standards-based curriculum as of a plan helping students meet their quality of learning standards.
