บทคัดย่อ
This qualitative research examined the process and outcomes of ethics development through intergenerational learning. Lanna Wisdom School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was used as a case study to explore how children develop ethical perceptions and behaviors through lessons taught by older teachers. Data were obtained from classroom observations, individual interviews, and focus group interviews of multiple stakeholders, including the founder of Lanna Wisdom School, old teachers, children who attended the program, their parents, and locals in the community. Findings showed that children and youth who participated in the program developed ethical perceptions and behaviors through a learning-by-doing process. There were two themes of ethics that children learned from attending the program, which were empathy and multicultural toleration.
