    A contingency-based personality model of teacher placement for international Singaporean primary schools in Thailand
    (Assumption University, 2011) Dubolino, Allen A. ; Assumption University. Graduate School of Education
    Effective teacher placement is one of the most difficult problems facing educational administrators today. The data shows that 25% of teachers are leaving the job within their first year of service and 50% within their first 5 years of service. Much of this teacher attrition is believe to be attributed to poor hiring and placement practices. With modern research highlighting the importance of teachers’ personalities and dispositions to both their effectiveness and longevity, it is clear that new teacher placement models will be in demand. The objectives of this research are as follows: 1. To investigate if there is a relationship between teacher personality and the academic success of their students 2. To compare these potential relationships across four core subject areas and grade levels 1-6. 3. To propose an effective contingency-based personality model of teacher placement for use in international Singaporean primary schools in Thailand.

    An educational intervention to improve cross-cultural, conflict resolution skills in Thai medical tourism
    (Assumption University, 2011) Richeson, William M. ; Assumption University. Graduate School of Education
    While low English language proficiencies create significant barriers to communication, cultural dimensions in Thai medical tourism make cross-cultural conflict resolution (CCCR) even more problematic. Previous studies and interventions in English Language Teaching (ELT), English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Medical English Education (MEE) have focused on English language skills and cross-cultural knowledge. Significant improvements in conflict resolution skills have not been noted. This intervention integrates medical English and counseling skills. In each lesson, the instructor uses a skills scaffolding approach, and sequences learning objectives along Bloom‘s revised taxonomy of learning skills (BRT). The conflict resolution instruction and practice are based on Rosenberg‘s Non-violent Communication (NVC) protocols (2003). Participants learn and apply counseling skills via readings, role-plays, games and discussions. Conflict scenarios in medical tourism provide the primary content. The first third of the thirty, weekly, medical English and counseling workshops at Piyavate Hospital, Bangkok, and the first three study phases of six, preassessment, curriculum development and progress assessments of workshops one through ten have been completed. The assessment results reported here convey participants‘ conflict and cross-cultural communication values in three areas: uncertainty avoidance, conflict avoidance, and patient assertiveness. Both pre-assessment and progress assessment include completion of an eighteen- item Likert scale survey derived from Hofstede (1980), and Chareonrook (2000). This integrative approach via combined medical English and conflict-resolution training suggests ways that counseling may be integrated into Thai, medical English curriculum.
