Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study and compare the opinions of instructors on the problems of using innovation in teaching and learning at Thailand National Sports University, 2) to determine a policy to promote instructors to further develop learning management. A questionnaire with a rating scale of 5 levels was used as a research instrument. The reliability was at 0.821. The data were collected from a sample group consisting of 47 males and 45 females resulting a total of 92 participants. The statistics used in data analysis were mean, percentage and standard deviation. The results revealed that 1) the instructors applied the innovation in teaching and learning without sticking to traditional teaching methods (96.7 percent) and constantly developing the innovation in teaching and learning (79.4 percent). Continuous innovation (45.8%) had a small part in the application of innovation in teaching and learning management. 2) When comparing opinions classified by gender of instructors, it was found that the overall picture was not statistically significant. When considering each item, it was found that acceptance and agreeing with the use of teaching and learning innovation and planning teaching using various innovations to participate in the lesson were statistically significant differences in opinion. 3) If classified by educational qualification, the overall picture was found to be statistically significantly different. Considering each item, it was found that the development of innovation in teaching and learning regularly and continually, and the participation in the teaching and learning innovation training on a regular basis with continuity had statistically significant differences at the level of .05.
