Abstract

agricultural learning center “Bang Pan” vegetable garden and studying community funds. (2) create           a model for developing an agricultural learning center “Bang Pan” vegetable garden on community funds.           (3) Evaluate the model for developing an agricultural learning center “Bang Pan” vegetable garden based           on community funds. It is a Participatory Action Research. using regulations Qualitative research methods          the informants in the research are those involved in driving the work or having a stake in the operation of          the agricultural learning center “Bang Pan” vegetable garden.

Pattern creation Applying the concept of model creation involves the following steps: 1) researching basic information 2) determining principles, goals, and elements 3) determining application guidelines 4) evaluating the model to Model for developing agricultural learning centers “Bang Pan” vegetable garden based on community funds Ban Thalung Lek Community, Village No. 5, Tha Luang Subdistrict, Tha Ruea District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province (1) objectives of the model, (2) principles         of the model, (3) work systems and mechanisms, (4) methods of operations or activities, and (5) conditions         of implementation. format to use. 3. The overall evaluation of the suitability of the model was at the highest level. When considering each aspect Sorting the average from the greatest, found that the highest average is The aspect of usefulness and next is the aspect of suitability. The feasibility aspect had the lowest average.
