Instructional Media, Thais’ Moral Development, Relaxing Foot MassageAbstract
This article derived from the researcher’s interesting experience in developing Thailand’s new generation’s working mindset on the basis of having a good heart. The research was conducted at a primary school through individual learning of a relaxing foot massage. This was integrated with development of the well-wishing mindset for the massage service users. Participants were 19 primary school students. The suitability level of the lesson plans used were at a good level. Both informal interviews and observation were conducted during and after the lesson. The results found that the student participants showed willingness and modesty in the foot massage. They were also proud of giving the foot massage and would like to learn more about it. Parents were also proud of and impressed with the students’ performance. Such outcomes displayed the success in developing the young Thais’ mind to have the working skills along with an elevated mindset. Feet were used as the instructional media to elevate the mind, though they are classed as lower organs and are lowly regarded.
