Demonstration School of Khon Kaen University (Mor Din Daeng) uses Basic Education Core Curriculum which The Ministry of Education announced implementation of the Basic Education Curriculum 2001, which served as the core curriculum for national education at the basic level.

The Basic Education Core Curriculum is aimed at enchancing capacity of all learners, who constitute the major force of the country, so as to attain balanced development in all respects—physical strength, knowledge and morality. They will fully realise their commitment and responsibilities as Thai citizen as well as members of the world community. Adhering to a democratic form of government under constitutional monarchy, they will be endowed with basic knowledge and essential skills and favourable attitude towards further education, livelihood and lifelong learning. The learner-centred approach is therefore strongly advocated, based on the conviction that all are capable of learning and self-development to their highest potentiality.

The Basic Education Core Curriculum is aimed at inculcating among learners the following five key competencies: Communication Capacity, Thinking Capacity, Problem-Solving Capacity, Capacity for Applying Life Skills, and Capacity for Technological Application. The Basic Education Core Curriculum focuses on learners’ development for attainment of the following desirable characteristics, enabling learners to enjoy a life of harmony among others as Thai citizen and global citizens:
1. Love of nation, religion and king
2. Honesty and integrity
3. Self-discipline
4. Avidity for learning
5. Obserbance of principles of Sufficiency Economy Philosophy in one’s way of life
6. Dedication and commitment to work
7. Cherishing Thai-ness
8. Public-mindedness

Teaching Methods

The teachers in this school has various methods that they used when teaching. I have observed Ajarn Jinny (my mentor), Ajarn Som, Ajarn Samruan, Ajarn Bana that helped by the student teacher from Khon Kaen University named Team. I saw that all the teachers are close with the students, and the students are really respect to their teacher. The teachers are technology literate, they usually use the computer, iPad, projector as tool for teaching.

Teaching Materials and Innovation

The teachers uses textbook, worksheet, projector, powerpoint, and the other media for teaching in the class. My mentor said if i came in the previous semester, i can see a lot of mathematics activites. But, because i come before the examination, so the teachers and the students are busy to prepared the examination.
The teachers always make the class feel fun for the students, so they won't feel bored during the lessons. Sometimes they will learn in the math-lab and do some fun activities that related to the topics they have learned before.

Authentic Assessment

The learning assessment in this school are from the class examination, students' activities, students' homework, final examination and the national test.

Procedures of Teaching After finished my lesson plan and with the approval of my mentor and other teachers, they arranged my teaching schedule. I got the opportunity to teach in class M.1/1 and M.1/2 which are classes with IEC (Intensive English Course) program . I teached for one meeting each class with a duration 50 minutes per meeting.  When i teach, i accompanied by the mathematics teachers. They observed my teaching and helped me to handle if there any language that difficult to understood by the students, since the mathematical language is quite different with the daily language. I teach Sector Arc Length and Area, and i used the pizza as the representative for the sector. After i explain the topics, i gave the students a worksheet that they have to do it by themselves.
