A Prototype Model Development of Learning Process on Sufficiency Agricultural Community: A Case Study of Agricultural Area Management in Phanom Rung Subdistrict Municipality Buriram Province

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study a prototype of the learning process for the sufficiency agriculture community from agricultural area management with good practices, to develop a prototype model for the community learning process of sufficiency agriculture through agricultural area management in Phanom Rung Subdistrict Municipality Buriram Province, and to develop an agricultural area management network with a prototype model of the community learning process of sufficiency agriculture. Action research was designed according to the PAOR process by dividing the research process into 4 steps, consisting of the planning stage (Plan: P), developing a land management experiment area, practical steps (Act: A) in developing the experimental area according to the plan and learning lessons from land management,  Observe stage (Observe: O) by observing the results that arise from following up on practical work, and the reflection stage (Reflect: R) from what happened after the creation of the community network. Results indicated that 1) the prototype of the learning process for the sufficiency agriculture community from agricultural area management with good practices. A case study with good practices for developing community public areas into farmland and a case study with good practices in designing the Kok Nong Na model area. The first case study discusses inspiration, beginning with the study of royal science. His Majesty King Rama IX, who made us look like an example applied in life. The next case study involved the operation of a community learning center. From being a deserted place to dumping garbage, the idea was to develop the area to benefit the community, learn at school to solve poverty, go to learn the subject of the wise man according to various learning centers and used to develop the area. The third case study involved a research-based agricultural design with soil development, develop water sources, design planting areas including allocating space to be a religious place according to the way of the villagers starting with designing the area by digging a pond to make the area for a water source, then take many plant species, type of planting trial and develop the soil at the same time in order to produce enough produce to have enough to eat and use in the household. 2. Develop a prototype model of the community learning process of sufficiency agriculture through agricultural area management in Phanom Rung Subdistrict Municipality. Buriram Province found that the area was managed according to the Kok Nong Na pattern through the operational research process according to the PAOR research cycle, where a water management system was created by digging a pond with a reduced depth. An underground well is dug and water is drawn from underground using a solar cell system. Management of plant species in the area various plants are planted. There is a wide variety including fruit trees, perennials, nanny plants, rice, and Azolla microphylla. Management of cultural and religious areas are a design of the area in the Buddhist way by molding the Lord Buddha to be the center of spirit of the people in the community. Including preparing an area to support the network’s project, namely the Cow Bank. Dr. Luang Phor Daeng. This is a project that promotes soil development in the Kok Nong Na R-Model area. 3. Develop an agricultural area management network with a prototype model of the Sufficiency Agriculture community learning process. It was found that area management is feasible and appropriate for the area. As for network development, it is the creation of a network in 1) a common community to share information that is beneficial to mutual learning between members and interested parties, 2) network development between educational institutions; in the research process, there are institutions, study in areas such as Buriram Rajabhat University, Buriram Nursing College, and other educational institutions that become partners in the network and are an important part of joint activities under activities to develop the quality of life of activity participants.
