Abstract

Thailand’s globalized society today is dependent on capitalism in driving the economy of the country. Too much dependence on such a system causes an imbalance between material progress and the mental well-being of the people. People have abandoned the principles of religion in leading their life and the situation has caused the problem of unwanted behaviors. This clearly reflects a total failure of education in achieving the goal in shaping morality in the people. Therefore, it is essential for educators to come up with the Buddhism-based process of learning management for social studies teachers to instill ethics in students of the 21st century. This is aimed at creating awareness among children and young generation to cope with various changes in the knowledge, skills and positive attitude in applying the principles of Buddhism in their everyday life. Such an application helps shape the behavior of citizens and enables them to live in peace and for the prosperity of the nation.
