THE INTEGRATION OF THE THREEFOLD TRAINING INTO ACTIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT TO ENHANCE DESIRABLE LIFE SKILLS ACCORDING TO THE BASIC EDUCATION CORE CURRICULUM

Abstract

This academic article aims to present an integrated approach of the Threefold Training (Ti-Sikkhā) within Active Learning models to enhance desirable life skills according to the Basic Education Core Curriculum B.E. 2551 (A.D. 2008) in the digital era. Amidst rapid social changes and complex threats, life skills—comprising cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains—align significantly with the Threefold Training. The study reveals that Active Learning, emphasizing practice and the Reflect-Connect-Apply (RCA) process, serves as a dynamic force driving self-development. Specifically, Adhisīla-sikkhā (Higher Morality) fosters social discipline and relationships; Adhicitta-sikkhā (Higher Mentality) nurtures mental resilience and emotional maturity; and Adhipaññā-sikkhā (Higher Wisdom) promotes Analytical Reflection (Yonisomanasikāra) for rational problem-solving and digital literacy. Synthesizing modern pedagogy with Buddhist principles constitutes an educational innovation that elevates learners' quality of life, fostering a holistic balance of physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being. This integration empowers students to navigate contemporary global crises with stability, wisdom, and sustainable happiness.
