Abstract

Sustainable development goals has underlined the relevance of education and culture in specific areas. Seeing as place-based learning has been shown to be a successful community-oriented approach, this study was designed to combine the participation of people in context-based specifics in order to develop a local-wisdom learning-management model with digital resources applications for learners enclosed in Thailand's educational innovation sandbox. 146 key information providers, and 340 students, from two elementary schools and two secondary schools, took part in the research and related development process. The results indicated that a local-wisdom learning-management model could enhance each student’s learning achievements as well as boost his/her learning and innovation skills. Key involved persons, learning-management goals, local-wisdom content, and digital learning resource applications are the four most critical components. In addition, the model covers five steps of learning procedures, and three evaluation methods. Practical implications towards future policies and practices are also discussed.
