This research was aimed to 1) study the factors’ resource of learning management of computer law subject in the institutions of higher education in Nakhon Ratchasima province and 2) to analyze the learning impact factors in computer law subject which affected the learning outcomes. A group sampling was 400 students selected from the 4 institutions of higher education in Nakhon Ratchasima province. Research instruments included questionnaires analyzed by the PLS-SEM to measure the relationship among variables. The results of the research revealed that: 1) the learning factors in computer law subject were knowledge exchange, training techniques and method, education technologies, learning processes, individual learning, learning evaluation, and learning achievement. The main problems included practical knowledge of learners, instructional fairness to learners, opinion and intention of instructors should be focused on; and 2) the analysis of the learning impact factors using the Outer and Inner prototype showed the accurate and reliable results. Regarding the learning impact factors, the results are as follows; 1) the knowledge exchange had an direct impact on the learning achievement and indirect one through the learning evaluation, 2) Training techniques and method could influence directly to the learning achievement and indirectly to the learning process; and 3) the adaptation of education technologies illustrated the direct impact on the learning achievement. From these aspects, this study provides a better understanding on the improvement of training models and can be adjusted to the learning processes of computer law subject towards the current situation. This hopefully can be a guideline for other researchers.

Investigating construct validity is a process that is essential especially for devising a new item type. However, the distinction between construct-relevant and construct-irrelevant variances may not always be sufficient. In this article, the construct of the concordance-based cloze item type (henceforth ConCloze) will be defined through two research projects. The first one is the doctoral dissertation (Kongsuwannakul, 2017 Investigating the Construct Validity of a Concordance-based Cloze Test: A Mixed-methods Study), in which the construct validity of the item type is defined with an iterative research design. Item components and a variety of changes to them are used insofar as information about the language processes and domains is obtained out of the data. The other research project is a follow-up study (Kongsuwannakul, 2019 Suranaree University of Technology Students’ Language Domains in Engaging with a Concordance-based Cloze Test: A Contrastive Approach), in which a contrastive approach is used for identifying distinguishing language domains in ConCloze. It is found that language domains such as knowledge of lexical semantics are not sufficiently distinguishing the construct of the item type. As for theoretical implications, it will be argued that construct-relevant variance could be divided into construct variance and construct-peripheral variance.
构念效度的调查是一个重要的过程,尤其是在设计一个新的题型时。然而,结构相关和结构不相关差异之间的区别可能并不总是充分的。本文将通过两个研究项目来定义基于一致性的完形填空条目类型(以下简称ConCloze)的构建。第一个是博士论文(Kongsuwannakul, 2017),研究基于一致性的完形填空测试的构念效度:混合方法研究),其中项目类型的构念效度采用迭代研究设计来定义。只要从数据中获得有关语言过程和领域的信息,就会使用项组件和对它们的各种更改。另一个研究项目是一项后续研究(Kongsuwannakul, 2019 Suranaree Technology University of student’s Language Domains in Engaging with a concorence based Cloze Test: a contrast Approach),其中使用对比方法来识别结语中的不同语言领域。研究发现,词汇语义知识等语言领域对项目类型结构的区分不够充分。在理论意义上,本文认为建构相关方差可分为建构相关方差和建构外围方差。

Along with the positive economic impact brought by the Chinese market, the negative social impacts have been the cultural clashes which have been reflected through complaints and comments made through several media. This study aimed to examine how the Thai hosts consisting of 401 respondents, working in the tourism industry including hotel staff, tour guides, tour operators and airline flight attendants, perceive the behaviors of the Chinese tourists or their guests. The behaviors studied were identified by reviewing bulletins, discussion boards, reviews and comments on online media. A previous study of similar topic done in Macao was closely reviewed. 19 behaviors of the Chinese tourists were perceived by the Thai hosts as frequent and annoying. These behaviors, which require immediate attention to, included talking loudly in public, making noise eating in a restaurant, rushing into a place/vehicle in a chaotic manner, bumping into/shoving others in a crowd, shouting/calling others in a hotel/public place, spilling food on the table, cutting a queue, allowing children to run around disturbing others, smoking in a non-smoking area, getting into the elevator/vehicle before others get off, walking obstructing others in the footpath, not caring to observe or learn local customs, littering carelessly, dropping cigarette butts, spitting in public, not flushing the toilet after use, not observing or breaking local traffic rules, wearing indecent clothes /not observing local dress code, and expecting to be served before locals. The relevant stakeholders should pay attention to these 19 behaviors as they occurred frequently and were annoying to the hosts. Other 19 behaviors were perceived to be annoying. However, they occurred less frequently. These behaviors have to be watched out. Three behaviors can be ignored as they were not annoying and not frequent. The tourist’s trying to get a bargain took place frequently but it was considered not annoying. Therefore, this behavior is of low priority. The conclusion gave some ideas on how to deal with the frequent and annoying behaviors.
