In traditional Thai education, the learner waits to be fed information and the teacher propounds this knowledge nearly in a disciple-master relationship of old. Very little is demanded of the learner in terms of self actualization and dedication. Thus learning\/teaching is never geared toward reflection, profundity or even the context of the subject taught. Most teachers with a degree in education with at least a subject major, although exposed to theoretical aspects of good pedagogy in their student years, usually cannot conduct classes to produce the preceding desirable outcomes because they themselves were never taught in the way that they should, i.e., exposure to student-centered pedagogy in an interactive way. The latter demands mastery of contents and pedagogy, a rare combination.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c716b62 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c716b62\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b171acc\" data-id=\"b171acc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b8fdf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b8fdf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0For a long time the Government has recognized this problem and tried to make incremental changes at the school level up to the tertiary level, with limited success. We at Mahidol recognize these limitations of teachers as being due to lack of hands-on and minds-on experiences during their training. Research, in the sense of innovative work lending to rigorous scholarship, is never a part of their requirements. After spending their years with us, we are confident that most of them will have had mastery of both content and pedagogical techniques.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-91a5c74\" data-id=\"91a5c74\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-730f08c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"730f08c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"317\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/il.mahidol.ac.th\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il-front2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-327\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38a019f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"38a019f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\n<h5>\u00a0 In light of the implementation of the New National Education Act of 1999, the Institute wishes to correct some of the shortcomings of education practices in Thailand by:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><h5>\u00a0Setting up international postgraduate science and technology program (to train future teachers) which emphasizes innovation and communicative skills \u2014so that products from thesis work will be used for further learning\/teaching in the classroom, laboratory and field study especially in Thailand.\n<\/h5><\/li>\n<li><h5>\u00a0Demonstrating to Mahidol University faculty and elsewhere the merits of student-centered active learning with the help of modern tools and the wide availability of Internet-based information.
