Type: article

Abstract: The research aimsto develop modern learning activities and enhance training models to promote digital skills for Vocational teachers in Thailand. A sample group of 50 teachers from two curricula, Industrial Engineering and Business, was selected from the Office of the Vocational Education Commission in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand, in 2023, selected by the voluntarymethod. The research instruments in this research was as follows: 1) the modern learning activities and strengthening training model, 2) the training handbook, 3) the achievement test, 4) the evaluation forms of creating digital media, and 5) the trainee satisfaction assessment. The study was conducted using a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design, with the training and data collection carried out over a total duration of approximately 21 hours.The statistical methods used in this research included the mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The research results found that 1) The evaluation result of the quality of the training model that enhances modern learning activities is at a high level (𝑥̅= 4.45, SD = 0.19), 2) The trainees’ digital skill scores significantly increased after the training with a statistically significant difference at the .05 level (p < .05), 3) Trainees have high-level skills in creating digital media and modern learning activities (𝑥̅= 4.01), equivalent to 80.24%, and 4) The trainees are high satisfiedwith modern learning activities and strengthening training model to promote digital skills(𝑥̅= 4.34, SD=0.17). Therefore, the developed training model can effectively promote trainees' knowledge and skills in digital media.
