Former deputy education minister Warakorn Samkoset urged teachers yesterday to start conducting research on subjects relevant to their daily work life.
"For example, you could conduct research on your own classes or mixedlevel classrooms," he said at an academic seminar on national educational research.
Warakorn explained that such research would indicate teachers' quality and students' academic performances.
He said it wasn't always necessary for research subjects to be something grand.
Warakorn urged the Office of the Education Council to provide research guidelines for interested teachers.
At the same seminar, Education Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said all researchers should clearly understand the purposes of their works.
"I want to see research that respond to the country's second educational reform," he said, referring to changes due to begin later this year.
Jurin said the reforms were intended to ensure the country gets smart, happy and good people, and that teachers are qualified and attuned to changes in the world.
"We also want to create new learning centres such as knowledge parks and museum."
The Education Ministry also has many new projects to promote learning, including Tutor Channel and 3D libraries.
