Educational Innovation Based on Assessment for Learning Concepts: A Guide to Drive Education 4.0

Abstract

Objective - Education 4.0 originated from analysing Thailand's problems such as economic failure, political failure or social failure. Every problem involving failure blames education. Thailand 4.0 has a goal for Thailand to innovate. However, have education courses and teacher's education met the goals of Thailand 4.0 even though courses have been changed and modified for over 50 years? It is now time to change the country's education process to meet the country's innovation needs. Therefore, improving the quality of education management standards through school education systems is important because learning is driven by teachers and students in the classroom. Teachers need to manage various needs in classrooms, including social, emotional and pressure situations of an average of 30 or more students per classroom to help students learn and grow to become good learners in the future. Methodology/Technique – The aforementioned education quality standards will be improved if teachers can operate effectively in the classroom. Consequently, the question is how the agencies and organizations involved can help teachers in this situation because the level of improvement in education quality is "dependent on teachers". This may seem unfair for this huge responsibility because part of product output is affected by input factors and the aforementioned mission should not be left as the duty of only teachers or education personnel. Finding & Novelty - The research findings suggest that all teachers develop their careers by using the concept of AFL and could help students to raise their achievement and also could be efficient guides to drive Education 4.0 for Thailand. This research is aimed at studying and developing educational innovation based on assessment for learning to drive Education 4.0 and pilot study in the first phase by referring to teachers' observations, assessments, and recommendations.
