The Learning for the Future Workforce Through Digital Innovation
คำสำคัญ:
Future Workforce, Digital Innovation, Virtual Reality Technologyบทคัดย่อ
This qualitative research aimed to 1) specify virtual reality technology's quality characteristics and reinforcement factors in transformative learning of higher education that supports students' learning ability and 2) understand virtual reality technology's role in shaping attitude and behavior based on pedagogical values through intrinsic motivation that enhances students' learning performance and satisfaction. The data were gathered and utilized using focus group discussions and observation methods from 36 undergraduate students in their second and third year at the College of Aviation Development and Training, Dhurakij Pundit University, who all were key informants. The result indicated that applying virtual reality technology as a tool to bridge new educational challenges in response to the Thai higher education reform policy to leverage the country's workforce competency level helps researchers understand the importance of positive reinforcement in 3 areas that are 1) stimulation and motivation for learning 2) promoting understanding during learning and 3) building confidence in the learning outcomes. While digital innovation plays an essential role in shaping the future of education, ensuring that new teaching tools are used effectively will require a new generation of educators who understand the importance of students' connection in the classroom. Moreover, the research results also help deepen the researchers' understanding of the role of digital technology innovation in increasing students' perceptions. The pragmatic quality and the hedonic quality indicators were found to enhance the linkages of the learning transformation process towards the learners' development of behavior, attitudes, and beliefs that promote their competencies to a higher level.
