Learning Outcome of the Public Mind Project Toward Nursing Students at Christian University of Thailand

Abstract

          The Public Mind can be described as the awareness and knowing participation in making contribution to community.  Being the Public Mind is the crucial disciplinary ethical for the on who can be developed to strengthen and sustain level to family, community, and countries. Having sustainable development in country, it is necessity to have well-disciplined practices inside the family then the community. Particularly, being a Public Mind, should be participating in making a worthy contribution in community rather than for oneself.

          Cultivating ethical and morality early as possible considered important.  It was suggested that Public Mind needs to be taught in children by their parents, and/of teachers at school for a strong push towards their public awareness in the future especially when the young children and teenagers spend their time for their education at school. Using the Project Based Learning is the effective way to train students to have a Public Mind to community. Regarding Project- Based Learning the students were assigned to carry out a group work project on their Public Mind towards the community they were assigned to work.  The Project-Based Learning by students can be helped them learn from emerging experience to the real life which is called 'Learning by Doing' and that would be the productive way of learning. As well as having the students of nursing practices in the Public Mind learning for their professional ethics, can be very potential in terms of developing their characteristics of nursing professions since their work base on the care user or patients. Therefore, having pushed the Public Mind in students' nursing professions at school would be a clear goal in developing students in values and sustainability in their community.
