Abstract

The  purposes  of  this  research  were  1)  to  develop  a  training  model  for  enhancing  facilitation skills of teachers. 2) to study  the  effects  of  using  the  training   model  on  knowledge  and  understanding, attitude and facilitation  skills. The research procedure comprised 2 steps.  First, developing  the  training  model  and  supplementary  materials  and  second,  testing  the  developed  model.

The  results  of  this  research  were  as  follows : 

1. The training model consisted of 5 elements : principles, objectives, contents, training  processes  and  evaluation. The training  processes  involved  2  phases : three days of theoretical training and one month  of  practical  training.  The  first  phase activities were as follows : 1) obtaining the theoretical knowledge of facilitation 2) demonstrating by the model  3) practicing in the sub-skills of facilitation 4)  role playing  in  the simulations 5) coaching  and  giving  feedback  and 6)  giving  the principle about self – regulation. The activities of the second phase were : 1) stimulating  trainees  to  apply  their learned concepts to formulate a facilitating plan 2) providing self-regulated  teaching  in the  real situation  and  3) coaching the  process  by  the  trainer.

2. The  results  of  testing  the  model  were as follows :

 a) The average scores of knowledge and  understanding, attitude  and  facilitation  skills of the teachers trained through the developed model were  higher than the 70 percent  criterion of the  total  scores.

b) The average scores of the  posttest in knowledge and understanding,  attitude  and  facilitation skills  of  the  teachers  trained  through  the developed  model  were  higher than those  of  the pre-test  at  the .01 level  of  significance.
