Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a competency reinforcement program designed to prepare student teachers for pedagogy practicum training in the digital era at Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University. The research involved 10 university supervisors and 178 third-year Bachelor of Education students, divided into an experimental group (89 students) and a control group (89 students). The program's impact was assessed using mean, standard deviation, one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), and dependent t-tests. Results indicated that the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in competency scores compared to the control group (p < .01). Additionally, the experimental group’s post-program competency scores were significantly higher than their pre-program scores (p < .01). The program also received high satisfaction ratings from participants (mean = 4.66, SD = 0.50), highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing teaching competencies in the digital age.
