Business Overview
In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming extremely important. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing a variety of projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and education and research support.
The SD Forum is held with the aim of improving the skills of university staff and providing a place for information exchange beyond the boundaries of the university through keynote speeches, case reports and exchange of opinions in the subcommittees, taking up themes of growing interest in the SD field.
Outline of the event
In 2017, the Standards for the Establishment of Universities and the School Education Act were revised, and the duties and roles of staff were “upgraded” from “processing” to “carrying” and from “engaged” to “in charge.” With the revision of the Standards for the Establishment of Universities in 2022, the faculty and staff responsible for the education and research implementation organization have become one in the regulations, and the scope of work has been “expanded” to include education and research. In order to be able to fully fulfill this role, there is a frequent need for staff to be more sophisticated and specialists. However, the definitions of “sophistication” and “specialization” are ambiguous, and it is not uncommon for different theorists to point in different directions. Today, I don’t think anyone would argue that we should be “sophisticated” and “specialized,” but I have to say that the specific image is quite blurred. Now that the standards for establishing new universities have begun, I would like you to think together and discuss the direction and concrete image of the sophistication and specialization of Thailand staff.
