Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to design and form the Five Aggregates learning model via Buddhist Catechism method on mobile learning for development of critical thinking Buddhist model, 2) to evaluate the Five Aggregates learning model via Buddhist Catechism method on mobile learning for development of critical thinking Buddhist model. The findings revealed that the designed model defined as the Five Aggregates learning model had included five (5) steps. The evaluation of this study was conducted by seven (7) selected specialists. The first evaluation result was elements of designing Five Aggregates learning model which included 1) principles and concepts, 2) objectives of Five Aggregate learning model, 3) element of Five Aggregate learning model, 4) Five Aggregates teaching method, 5) Catechism teaching method, 6) teaching and learning element of m-learning, and 7) critical thinking Buddhist model. It was followed by the second evaluation result of steps of designing Five Aggregates learning model that comprised of 1) setting goals and objectives, 2) preparation, 3) accessing to mobile learning system, 4) learning and teaching activities, and 5) evaluation. The overview result of the former showed a high rating scale of suitability ( x = 4.77, S.D. = 0.20) while the latter presented the highest rating scale of suitability ( x = 4.54, S.D. = 0.47).
