Abstract
Innovation is an important tool or mechanism for development, increasing the competitiveness of the country to overcome the current economic crisis. For this reason, all sectors have set development plans that conform with accelerating innovation within the country. Thailand has made an effort to produce innovators like other countries. Innovators are co-creators of quality and effective innovations that achieve targeted goals. They have the initiative and abilities to create new things, moving towards a successful future. This involves developing individuals who possess critical thinking abilities, practical capabilities, autonomous creative capacity, and who seek new ways for effective employment.
This article presents five aspects of student innovation as follows: 1) solving complex problems, 2) critical thinking, 3) creativity, 4) teamwork, and 5) content knowledge and practical skills. These abilities enable students to grow and develop themselves effectively in a rapidly changing digital world, affecting the development of the country. Being innovative students can lead to the creation of new products, services, or processes that promote the country's economic growth, increase global competitiveness, and generate income both domestically and internationally.
