This study aimed to explore pre-service mathematics teachers’ perceptions of their strengths and deficiencies in dealing with students from diverse mathematics cultural backgrounds. The pre-service mathematics teachers in the final year at a university located in Northern Thailand were participants. The survey and focus group interview were manipulated to attain more profound confirmation about how the pre-service mathematics teachers performed in their diverse mathematics classrooms. The pre-service mathematics teachers’ strengths and deficiencies were represented and divided into the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. Their strengths included 1) consciousness about the multicultural processes, 2) acknowledgment of students’ sources of resistance, and 3) possession of a feedback cycle for dealing with diverse mathematics classrooms. Nevertheless, it was found their deficiencies, including 1) unawareness of multicultural diversity through many perspectives, 2) limited knowledge to handle irrelevant students’ culture, and 3) lack of skills to respond to a problem existing such as time limits. The implication included that pre-service mathematics teachers should have the opportunity to 1) interact with other different cultural mathematics backgrounds, 2) study more content courses about multicultural mathematics, and 3) engage in various activities involving multiculturalism and be exposed to multicultural instruction courses.

This study explores how psychological contract mediates the relationship between transformational leadership (TFL) and performance to see how far these concepts, widely studied in the western context, are applicable in a non-western context. This study utilized a mixed-methodology case study based on a market-leading company in the consumer-electronics business in Thailand. There are 282 samples for quantitative data collection and utilize the three-equation approach to test the mediating effect. There are 55 participants for qualitative data, and thematic analysis was used. To explain the process, this research found three themes, feeling valued, the family atmosphere, and needing to repay the company’s kindness. They need managers with TFL qualities to make them happen. This study reveals three insightful understandings of the concepts. Firstly, the distinction between transactional and relational elements of psychological contact is only apparent at the conceptual level, while in practice, they coincide. Secondly, job satisfaction contributes to organizational commitment. Lastly, the relational psychological contract reinforces the feeling of being overwhelmed by the company’s kindness making employees want to work for the company until retirement.

The emergence of disruptive technology in mid-1999 caused the industrial revolution, which leverages the benefits of the industry’s products and elaborates new ideas for service sectors to a new level. The recent virtual technology brings opportunities to higher education along with these digital adaptations. However, there is a need for experimental research exploring the educational influence of using immersive virtual reality in aviation safety subjects. This quasi-experimental aimed to 1) address the Airline Business students’ learning achievement after using virtual reality technology due to retaining knowledge influenced by virtual experience. 2) study the capability of immersive technology based on the Airbus A320 series aircraft’s virtual environment that establishes the Airline Business students’ learning development in three areas: cognitive domain, psychomotor domain, and affective domain. Two groups of 30 participants were recruited based on a simple random sampling from a total number of 75 third-year Airline Business students in the experimental and control groups. The parametric statistics were conducted on a hypothesis testing by comparing two measurements from the experimental and control groups. The results revealed that the test scores of the experimental group obtained significantly better academic achievement in terms of the knowledge needed to perform tasks than the control group. Besides, the behavioral learning and emotional intelligence required to complete performance-related tasks were noticed in the experimental group. In addition, the effectiveness index (EI) was computed to affirm that the innovative learning tool can be an integral part of the future physical classroom. It indicated that students effectively learn in the aviation safety context via practicing through virtual reality. The virtual experience positively helps motivate and engage students in an aviation safety study. It also profoundly enhances the Airline Business students’ competency, including knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to perform their future responsibilities as flight attendants.

This research aims to develop a CSR framework for China’s IRT development. CSR has been perceived as an innovative way to engage with emerging issues. Tourism enterprises have increasingly contributed to society through CSR. Although the application of CSR in the tourism field has been widely investigated, there is a significant lack of research exploring CSR in China’s tourism development, particularly in rural tourism. IRT connecting multiple stakeholders to integrate tourism development with localities is necessary for current China. The previous experience implies that tourism enterprises can facilitate IRT development through well-designed CSR. Therefore, this study discusses the potential of CSR in promoting China’s IRT development and its implementation by interviewing field experts. The findings demonstrate that enterprises can promote IRT by conducting the proposed CSR. Moreover, the study reveals that successful CSR adoption requires the collaboration of local government and residents. Theoretically, this research develops a CSR framework that suits China’s context and offers theoretical support for CSR practices. The proposed CSR framework offers stakeholders useful suggestions to engage in CSR, promoting IRT development effectively.

The current study employed a composite model to examine the factors affecting student satisfaction with online education (OE) and the relationship between it and student life quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the research reviewed the ADANCO 2.3.1 software for composite analysis. A sample of 257 management science students from anonymous Rajabhat University was used for this study. The findings indicate that only the factors of output and setup had a significant relationship with student satisfaction concerning OE. The relationship between student satisfaction with OE and the quality of student life was found to be significant. The ADANCO was extremely useful for doing confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) in modern partial least squares structural equation models (PLS-SEM). It was also a helpful tool for transforming latent and observable variables into emergent ones for CCA research. This study successfully resolved the standard bias method resulting in a better outcome.

Following the Beijing Winter Olympics, this paper investigated 790 Chinese University students’ family education and virtues identity, cultural confidence, out-group trust, and interest in the Beijing Winter Olympics. The results of the study showed that family education and virtues identity had a positive effect on out-group trust; cultural confidence played a partial mediating role in the relationship between family education and virtues identity, and out-group trust; interest in the Winter Olympics effectively regulated the relationship between family education and virtues, cultural confidence, and out-group trust. The findings suggest that family education and virtues identity, and cultural confidence could be enhanced; further multi-disciplinary research is needed in order to provide a better understanding of the development of out-group trust and shed more light on the possible significant impact of key international events on university students.

Intimate relationships among male same-sex have been accepted and more received significant attention recently, Resulting in emerging of them from the shadows of society. However, unfortunately, these relationships frequently end in breakups. As a result, this study was aimed to (1) examine the communicative strategies used to disengage from male same-sex relationships, (2) explore the elements contributing to the choice of breakup tactics, and (3) investigate the effects of the disengagement strategies on the post-breakup relationship status. Interviews were used to elicit the participants’ previous relationships. Five male participants who dated a male were selected using the purposive sampling method, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain the data. The adaptation of Baxter’s disengagement tactics served as the framework to describe the communication styles of Thai disengagers during the breakdown of the relationship with non-Thai partners. The findings revealed that the degree of intimacy and the culture of the disengagers influenced the selection of disengagement tactics. Moreover, the length of the relationship and the usage of breakup strategies were found to determine the post-breakup relationship status. As for the implications, the study may enable individuals to select the most appropriate strategies if a breakup is necessary.

Since the occurrence of the Myanmar military coup in February 2021, the non-interference principle of the ASEAN Way shows the institutional limitations in dealing with the Myanmar crisis effectively. Simultaneously, some ASEAN scholars suggest that ASEAN may need to improve the regional human-rights mechanism to resolve the crisis by practicing Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Nevertheless, the Myanmar crisis is being trapped in an anarchic political environment, different attitudes of ASEAN and Myanmar toward the crisis not only expanded the conflicts between non-interference and R2P, and resulted in the lack of a synergistic mechanism to cope with this crisis. To solve practical problems, meet the needs of the Myanmar people for humanitarian assistance and alleviate the ripple effects originating from the Myanmar crisis in neighboring countries, this article adopts constructivism of international relations (IR) and the theory of functional synergism to analyze the different attitudes to non-interference and R2P among the region, as well as proposes a strategy of constructing a new synergistic humanitarian-assistance mechanism that beyond the limitations of non-interference to dealing with the Myanmar crisis.
