The school has developed a school-based curriculum based on the Core Curriculum for Basic Education, B.E. 2551 (2011) (Revised Edition 2560/2017) while incorporating a conceptual framework that aligns with the developments of the 21st century. The educational management for each educational level differs according to the age and development of the learners.
In the lower primary level (Grades 1-3), the curriculum is integrated, aligning with constructivist theories of knowledge creation by learners. It responds to the various abilities of students, including Thai, English, and Chinese languages, mathematics, spatial awareness, physical agility, and musical movement, as well as social skills and self-understanding, collectively referred to as “Multiple Intelligences.” It addresses the ability to express emotions (Emotional Intelligence) and basic skills (Skill-Based), such as analytical thinking, creative thinking, collaborative learning, communication skills, and interaction, all through diverse learning activities.
For the upper primary level (Grades 4-6) and lower secondary level (Grades 7-9), the focus is on helping students discover themselves and prepare for the skills required in the 21st century. This development builds on the lower primary curriculum by centering on learner competencies, using flexible timing and methods tailored to the natural learning styles of each student to maximize their potential. Skills developed include Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills, Creativity and Innovation Skills, Cross-Cultural Understanding Skills, Collaboration, Teamwork and Leadership Skills, Communications, Information and Media Literacy Skills, Computing and ICT Literacy Skills, Career and Learning Skills, and ethical values (Compassion). This is achieved through project-based learning (PBL) and STEAM education, enabling students to solve problems and apply knowledge in real-life situations.
STEM education serves as a crucial learning framework that will continue to play a significant role in the 21st century.
Learning through hands-on activities to promote initiative through experiences, enabling children to think critically, reflect carefully, and communicate positively.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTThe ORIGO teaching model presents mathematics as a discipline that involves the use of various symbols (1, 2, 3, +, -). The main purpose of this subject is to prepare students to read, write, and interpret these symbols. In traditional learning, students are taught to memorize that each symbol represents specific concepts or meanings. However, this memorization can limit students' ability to create connections and apply knowledge to new situations, thereby constraining their learning.
In contrast, ORIGO MATH offers a different approach. Students gradually learn various symbols slowly by accumulating experiences from real-life interactions with objects, teaching tools, or 2D media. Each mathematical symbol is presented in verbal language, allowing students to fully grasp the linguistic meaning and effectively apply it in different contexts.
The Project Approach is a teaching method that emphasizes student participation and encourages children to learn independently. It allows children to explore topics of interest related to their surrounding environment and responds to their diverse needs through hands-on activities that empower them to take action themselves.
This project-based teaching method is an excellent tool for educators as it demonstrates various aspects, from concepts grounded in reality to questioning arising from genuine interests and the in-depth exploration of topics that engage children. It also promotes scientific skills and processes through investigation, research, note-taking, and analytical thinking to gather information and knowledge based on children’s interests.
Through diverse direct experiences, children can utilize creative artistic thinking to produce tangible work. The Project Approach allows educators to organize exhibitions that summarize the children's collective thoughts and share their working processes step by step. Beyond facilitating learning, the Project Approach provides in-depth instruction on real-world topics that children are curious about and actively seek to explore. Additionally, it fosters children's participation in a democratic society effectively. (Youngciety, July 5, 2019)
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that uses projects as the foundation for instruction. This method promotes collaboration among students and encourages hands-on learning experiences. It allows students to connect real-life experiences to their learning, seek answers through active inquiry, and explore topics that motivate their curiosity or raise questions.
Why Do We Use PBL?
