Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a model of water conservation for secondary school student. Theintegrative method research was done with participatory action research with Participatory Appreciate-Influence-Controltechnique (PAIC). Populations were upper secondary school students of academic year 2012 of Kalasin Province. Thequestionnaire and evaluation forms were be used as tool for data collection and the sample was selected by purposive samplingtechnique. PAIC was implemented with the integration of SWOT analysis and brain storming during the training process. The 53upper secondary school students were selected by purposive sampling technique from Kalasin Pittayasan School, AmphurMuang, Kalasin Province for training with PAIC. One -Way-ANOVA and t-test were used for data analysis.The research resultsillustrated that before and after PAIC process implemented, the mean scores of posttest of training achievement The researchresults revealed that before and after PAIC training process implemented, the mean scores of posttest of training achievementon characteristics of Environmental Education Trainer (EET), inspiration of public consciousness, environmental conservationbehavior, water conservation, and training achievement were higher than pretest with statistical significance (p< .01, p< .01, p<.01, p< .01, and p< .01). Three Dimensional Evaluations were employed for determination the perceptions of 53 uppersecondary school students in three aspects evaluation covering Self-evaluation, Friend-evaluation, and Facilitator-evaluation byusing One-way ANOVA in order to investigate the participation of upper secondary school students showed that there were nodifference of mean scores about participation in training process through brain storming with statistical significance (p>.05).

Abstract

The populations were 18,463 upper secondary school students from school under Secondary Service Area Office 24 (Kalasin), Northeastern region of Thailand in academic year of 2012. The with Multi-stage random sampling technique was employed to collect the sample for 400 upper secondary school students. The research instrument was the questionnaire and it was used for data collecting. LISREL was used for model verification. The objective of this study was to develop a causal relationship model of water conservation behavior of upper secondary school student. Considering on structural model confirmatory factors of Psychological Trait (PsT), Psychological State (PsS), Environmental Knowledge (EK) and Environmental Education (EE) were able to explain the variation of endogenous factors of Inspiration of Public Consciousness (INS) to caused Water Conservation Behaviors (BEH) with 60.00 percents. As a result, the equation 1 can be written as following. BEH = 0.96*INS + 0.28*EK + 0.052*PsS - 0.14*PsT - 0.11*EE ……….…(1) R2 = 0.60 Equation (1) factors that had the most effect to Water Conservation Behaviors (BEH) was Inspiration of Public Consciousness (INS) and subsequences were Environmental Knowledge (EK) and Psychological State (PsS) but Psychological Trait (PsT) and Environmental Education (EE) with negative direction, these were able to explained the variation of Water Conservation Behaviors (BEH)with 60.00 percents. Moreover, confirmatory factors of Psychological Trait (PsT), Psychological State (PsS), Environmental Knowledge (EK) and Environmental Education (EE) were able to explain the variation of confirmatory factors of Inspiration of Public Consciousness (INS with 86.00 percents. Therefore, the equation can be written as following equation 2. INS = 0.79*EE +0.25*PsT - 0.21*PsS - 0.17*EK ……………………….(2) R2 = 0.86 Equation (2) factors that had the most effect to Inspiration of Public Consciousness (INS) was Environmental Education (EE) and subsequences were Psychological Trait (PsT) but Psychological State (PsS) and Environmental Knowledge (EK) with negative direction, these were able to explained the variation of Inspiration of Public Consciousness (INS) with 86.00 percents
