Research Areas and Themes

  1. Issues related to education and development in Thailand
  2. International Comparative Study of Teacher Educators
  3. Teacher Education Reform in Thailand

His research interests are in the image of a desirable teacher, types of qualities and abilities (competencies) teachers should have, and types of systems and measures necessary to develop such teachers. Since his third year as an undergraduate, he has been only researching Thailand. However, recently, his interest has been expanding to other countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Malawi, and Zambia, where the students in his laboratory originate and where they work. However, he cannot conduct full-fledged research unless he masters the local language. He is also researching the educational disparity and efforts to correct the disparities in Thailand, transplantation of the National Institute of Technology education model (KOSEN) to Thailand, and a university established by an overseas Chinese foundation in Thailand. Recently, he began to research the identity and professional development of teacher educators in Southeast Asian and African countries with his peers.
