Abstract:
To develop learning management process based on the Contemplative Education
Approach (CEA) and the Optimum Experience Approach (OEA) to enhance the ability
relationships between teachers and students were built up, students’ responses of their
effects to their learning management process based on the CEA and OEA towards
teacher and Early childhoods were respected, such as, being lovely, affectively children,
and creating conduction to their classroom learning environments. To administer which
as 165 early childhood students in 11 classes and 11 teachers from the Early Childhood
School at Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Center under the Royal Patronage of Her
Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn were participated with the qualitative
data, collectively. Research procedures were designed in 2 steps; first, teachers plans to
manage the instructional design for including early childhoods who ought to practice
their experiences and self-learning processes on self-awareness with practicing
mindfulness through their self-observing activities, to improve the meditational
activities and real life with themselves were observed by teachers, second, early
childhoods respective learning of their opportunity on modern experience, self-literacy,
self-mindfulness observation, observing a case study on their activities, and selfpracticing daily life. Most of teachers were able to invent and change the increasing
relationships between teachers and early childhoods’ abilities evidence from 1 to 2
scales. Relationships between teachers and students were invented the instructional

Introduction
Education in Thailand is provided mainly by the Thai government through the Ministry
of Education from pre-school to senior high school. A free basic education of twelve
years is guaranteed by the constitution, and a minimum of nine years' school
attendance is mandatory (Ministry of Education, 2016). In 2009 the Ministry of
Education announced the extension of a free, mandatory education to fifteen years.
Formal education consists of at least twelve years of basic education, and higher
education. Basic education is divided into six years of elementary education and six
years of secondary education, the latter being further divided into three years of lowerand upper-secondary levels (World Education News & Reviews, 2014). Kindergarten
levels of pre-elementary education, also part of the basic education level, span 2–3 years
depending on the locale, and are variably provided. Non-formal education is also
supported by the state. Independent schools contribute significantly to the general
education infrastructure. Formal education consists of at least twelve years of basic

Learning development describes work with students and staff to develop academic
practices, with a main focus on students developing academic practices in educational
system. Learning developers are academic professionals who teach, advise and facilitate
students to develop their academic practices; create academic development learning
resources; and reflect on their own academic practices through a community of practice
(Association for Learning Development in Education, 2012). Hilsdon (2011) defines
Learning Development (L&D) as a complex set of multi-disciplinary and crossdisciplinary academic roles and functions, involving teaching, tutoring, research, and
the design and production of learning materials, as well as involvement in staff
development, policy-making and other consultative activities. In this study, researcher
team will remain the development of Early childhoods learning achievement movement
to begin with the recognition of a new direction of practice emerging by early childhood
teachers and their Early childhoods in the early members with the Contemplative
Education Approach (CEA) and the Optimum Experience Approach (OEA)
instructional methods.
Generally, the Contemplative Education is a philosophy of higher education that
integrates introspection and experiential learning into academic study in order to
support academic and social engagement, develops self-understanding as well as
analytical and critical capacities, and cultivates skills for engaging constructively with
others (Lewis, 2006). The inclusion of contemplative and introspective practices in
academia addresses an increasingly recognized imbalance in educational level: a lack of
support for developing purpose and meaning, or for helping students “learn who they
are, search for larger purpose for their lives, and leave schools as better human beings” (Hart,
2004). While contemplative education aims to integrate contemplative practices and
perspectives within any subject of study, the discipline of contemplative studies; the
examination of the contemplative experience itself has also developed (Hodes, 2014).
Thus, the contemplative education is defined as a set of practices that may foster
particular forms of awareness in students, forms conducive to the conscious motivation
and regulation of learning, and also to freedom and transcendence in life more
generally (Roeser and Peck, 2009).
This current study focused on pre-elementary educational school classes of
education aims to develop the contemplative approaches to significantly improve Early
childhoods Pre-K through 4 teacher education and to address other critical challenges in
instructional learning management processes based on the CEA based in contemplative
practices, such as; their experiences and self-learning processes on self-awareness with
practicing mindfulness through their self-observing activities, to improve the

meditational activities and real life with themselves were observed by teachers. Early
childhood’s respective learning of their opportunity on modern experience, self-literacy,
self-mindfulness observation, observing a case study on their activities, and selfpracticing daily life, and mindfulness for effects on child well-being and performance
were related abilities.
In the last two decades, a large number of studies conducted to show that
optimum experience approach (OEA) is a positive and complex condition in which
cognitive, motivational and emotional components coexist in a coherent and articulated
reciprocal integration (Fave, 2009). Optimum experience thinking is the mental
technology that empowers someone who ought to have the best thinking and to be able
to stop itself with the realistic thinking style, making the most constructive choices, and
take the best actions to accomplish the highest priorities (Covey, 1998). By virtue of its
positive psychological features, optimal experience has been sometimes misunderstood
as a state which automatically brings about well-being and development. Several
studies have disconfirmed this assumption, showing that the outcomes of optimal
experience are not automatically positive (Fave, 2009). Rather, the OEA is varying
according to the features of the associated activities and to the value system of the
cultural environment.
Researcher team of this current study has been primarily devoted the attention to
the structure of the activities that promote the OEA, and to the goal pursuit facilitate.
Goals are given a prominent role in development in that evidence of four training
teachers provide individuals with practical orientation and purpose in children’s daily
life. This research framework was developed learning management processes for
enhancing teachers’ and children’s relatively abilities in their OEA learning classroom
environments. Early childhoods might be responded on the questions that followed as:
What does research team know about the relationships between the OEA and teacherchild making self-ego without self-defences? How teachers and their early childhoods
were participated to attention, perfectly? What does the situation lead to optimum
learning experiences? These research questions are answered to seek Teacher-Early
Childhood Interactional Relationships with research study, interestingly.

Methodology
Research Framework
According to the thinking theory of Grossenbacher and Parkin (2006) who describes of
the Contemplative education challenges and supports students in ways that greatly
expand upon traditional academic approaches. This innovative form of education
equips students with perspectives and techniques useful for bringing forth their own
genuine way of connecting their heart and mind. The theory of Chano (2012) details on
contemplative education as learning infused with the experience of awareness, insight
and compassion for oneself and others honed through the practice of sitting meditation
and other contemplative disciplines.

QUALITY TOWARD TEACHER-EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERACTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
This research procedure is following as the thinking theory of Michael Mendizza and
Joseph Chilton Pearce (2003) helps early childhoods rediscover the playful, childlike
genius of their own nature as they guide, learn from and mentor children. Discovering
and exploring this fresh creative energy transforms the children, which results in
radically different learning environments for children. Changing the Early childhoods
change the environment, its called childhood, this transforms the child. When early
childhoods mirror this new creative energy it cycles back and transforms the adult, it’s
called this playful, reciprocal dynamic, the Optimum Learning Relationship. Capability
building, which is central to organizational performance, requires a systematic
management approach to learning and development as an integral part of workforce
planning.
Sample Size
To administer which a sample size consisted of 165 early childhood students in 11
classes and 11 teachers who were trained by the learning management processes based
on contemplative education approach and the optimum experience approach for their
instructional methods from the Early Childhood School at Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts
And Crafts Center under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha
Chakri Sirindhorn were participated with the qualitative data with the purposive
random sampling technique, collectively.
Research Procedures
This study developed of learning management processing introduction on the
fundamental elements of a qualitative approach to research, which the processes ought
to help research team to understand and become proficient in the qualitative methods
discussed in subsequent data. The research procedures were recommended to consult
the qualitative research in five steps that following as:
Step I: Preparation
R0: What were the components and properties of the frameworks on the instructional
processes with based on the contemplative education approach and the optimum
experience approach for leading optimum learning quality toward teacher-early
childhood interactional relationships?

Step II: Learning Management of Building Processes
To build up the learning management processes for training teachers’ thinking whose
know what a learning management processes are. The problems are that teachers make
sense of all thinking different things. Is it a learning portal? What does a training record
system of teachers’ observation to their children? How about teachers use the
instructional tools? Are the Contemplative Education Approach (CEA) and the
Optimum Experience Approach (OEA) the valid and reliable, significant? What are
associations between the relationships of teachers and early childhoods in the virtual
CEA and OEA classroom learning environments? These answers are that they could be
all of these things to be called ‘Learning Management of Building Processes’ which planed
for leading to highest learning potential (D1R1) with the CEA and OEA were assessed.
D1: The original instructional learning managements are followed as the
approaching theory of the Contemplative Education Approach (CEA) and the
Optimum Experience Approach (OEA).
R1: How many steps are there the instructional learning management
approaches of the learning activities and processes with the CEA and the OEA?
Step III: Developing Learning Management Processes for the First Phase
Underpinning the learning management process is a new set of knowledge and skills,
collectively referred to as a futures orientation and which attempt to prepare the
mindsets and skill sets of teaching graduates for conditions of early childhood’s
changes. The practitioner of learning management is referred to as a learning manager
was developed by teachers (D2R2).
D2: To develop the learning management processes with the CEA and the OEA
are improved in the first phase.
R2: What are the barriers’ using of the CEA and the OEA?
Step IV: Developing Learning Management Processes for the Second Phase
Adjust to the theory and practice of learning management process is develop the
Learning Management Design Process (LMDP). The LMDP is a curriculum planning
process comprising 'learning design based' questions. This process was developed and
used primarily as a tool to train teachers to teach. These questions are answered in
sequence focus the teacher to what is important when planning to teach early
childhoods (D3R3).
D2: To develop the designing learning management processes with the CEA and
the OEA are improved in the second phase.

R2: What are the barriers’ using of the CEA and the OEA able to develop the
teachers’ abilities for building up the relationships between teachers and their early
childhoods?
Step V: Presentation of the Learning Management Processes
The CEA and the OEA were organized through the sequential phases: Outcomes,
Strategy and Evidence. Each phase represents the development of information that its
associated questions seeks to purse. The CEA and the OEA classroom learning
environments represent a rethink of the various curriculum development texts that
have predominated the planning of teaching and curriculum in the developing early
childhood, completely. The teachers develop their 'teaching plan' by engaging with each
phase and its questions and recording ‘findings’ (or answers, observation, and others) in
planning activities related forms (D4).
Finally, in this recent research study, using the framework thinking theories to
build up the relationships between teacher interactional or interpersonal behaviours to
their early childhoods which for leading optimum quality of children with the seven
relative interactional prototypes, namely; self-respective associations between teachers
and children, safety leaning activities, open-endedness unexpected, observing children
signals, deeply and completely responsibilities, imagine and insight, and renewing of
early childhoods learning optimum qualities.
Results
The results from the qualitative data indicated that a sample size consisted of 165 early
childhood students in 11 classes and 11 teachers who were trained by the learning
management processes based on contemplative education approach and the optimum
experience approach for their instructional methods from the Early Childhood School at
Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts And Crafts Center under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal
Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn were participated with the qualitative data
with the purposive random sampling technique, collectively. Most of children were
responded of their seven relative interactional prototypes, namely; self-respective
associations between teachers and children, safety leaning activities, open-endedness
unexpected, observing children signals, deeply and completely responsibilities, imagine
and insight, and renewing of early childhoods learning optimum qualities.

learning quality on teacher-early childhood interactional relationships were assessed.
The findings of this study, which were reported under the two main researcher
objectives, are provided.
In terms of the characteristics of associations between teachers and early
childhood students were built up of the relative learning management processes based
on contemplative education approach and the optimum experience approach for
leading optimum learning quality toward teacher-early childhood interactions in five
scales, such as; accepting respects of the children, love ties, and classroom learning
environments for contributing learning of children. There are five discipline factors for
supporting the learning management processes, such as; self-understanding to leading
of self-thinking and well done behaviours are changed, self-training teachers to their
conscious awareness on thinking, emotion, and feeling to inhibit responsibility might
be changed for looking for children, self-training deeply listening and observing
children’s deeply out understanding, opportunity disciplines of interactional behaviors
between self-talking on the good climate and deeply trust of teachers to children’
responses, and connecting knowledge discipline to the life style and teachers’ work and
meaningful quality for helping children of their real life.
The leaning content of this management processes are separated on three parts,
followed as; nature and individual human differences, individualization between
children personality, and associations between teachers and children are built,
appropriately. The main learning management processes composed with the two
phases; first, self-learning for receiving modernization of their life and self-training
understanding knowledge; and self-training knowingly, such as; self-training
observation on respective activities and daily life; second, learning management
processes for children, to receive a new experience for understanding on children, selftraining awareness for children with the training observational respect and life styles of
children.
Conclusions
There are two general types of qualitative and quantitative data of the research findings
for developing learning management processes based on contemplative education
approach and the optimum experience approach for leading optimum learning quality
toward teacher and early childhood interactional relationships were investigated.

Discovering Quantitative Data
Quantitative research gathers data in numerical form which can be put into categories,
in units of measurement of this research study. This type of data can be used to
construct the background participating memberships of raw data. The quantitative data
was discovered on the abilities of relationships between teachers and children
interactions for leading of the teachers’ changes to their children were composed
evidence of:
A.
Respective and Acceptance on Children
Qualitative data gathers information, which as open-endedness, observations,
interviews, or group discussions to descriptive important was discovered as:
Firstly: There are 11 early childhood teachers who were the participating
research memberships to develop the relationships between teachers and children to
children’ responses indicated that the four teachers were developed of their teaching
evidence of only one level, seven teachers who developed of their teaching evidence of
two level, increasingly. In term of love ties, only one developing level, there are five
teachers were increased and six teachers were able to develop of their teaching with the
CEA and OEA learning approaches in the second level.
Secondly: Contributing classroom learning environment inventory with the CEA
and OEA learning approaches, there are the numbers of teachers participating research
memberships to develop the relationships between teachers and children to children’
responses indicated that teachers’ developing their teaching evidence of 3, 7, and 1
teachers of their increasing management processes at the 1, 2, and three steps,
consequently.
Overall teachers were able to change their abilities to their inventory
relationships between teacher interpersonal teaching behaviors and their children
toward the differently instructional plans of the CEA and OEA learning approaches.
In terms of the teaching abilities background of teachers, previous research study
showed that only a few teachers who are able to have their teaching abilities. After they
have spent time for using the CEA and OEA learning approaches in one year, they
changed the increasing teaching styles with their colleagues on the contributing
classroom learning environment inventories of children knowledge, respective and
acceptance children, and love ties, consequently. Therefore, the backgrounds of
educational quality of teachers were not affected differences, significantly.

Discovering Qualitative Data
Using CEA and OEA learning approaches were collected data of the qualitative
research to discover on the abilities of relationships between teachers and children
interactions for leading of the teachers’ changes to their children were composed
evidence of:
Self-Developing Teachers’ Instructional Lesson Plans
Teachers must be detailed description in teaching plans of their instruction for a lesson
that it was develop the learning management processes based on the CEA and the OEA
learning approaches for leading optimum of children’ learning qualities toward teacher
and early childhood interactional relationships with the self-developing teachers’
instructional lesson plan. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class
learning. Details will vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being
covered, and the needs of the students. There may be requirements mandated by the
school system regarding the plan to include the goal that it will be reached to the
instructional procedure with the CEA and the OEA learning approaches. The research
findings: Each teacher was developed their abilities for building up the relationships
between teacher interactional behaviours of his/her children, differently. Most of
teachers ought to change their thinking at the first, understanding of group colleagues,
to be explored to their children, consequently. The properties on teacher interpersonal
behaviours might be having open-mindness, too high responsibility, self-attending
seriously and continuing of their personality development.
In terms of the outdoor effects, the explicit instructional school policy is a more
important of the developing teachers’ abilities. The developing teachers’ abilities may
be managed, seriously and their responses should be made sense of their faith and
courage to the school’ policy for enhance teachers’ instructional design with the CEA
and the OEA learning approaches, successfully. Self-nervousness of their private matter
was not separated operations between their interactional behaviours toward their
children’s learning performances.
Research Suggestions
Used of Research Processing Suggestions
Using the learning management research for developing attributable the CEA and the
OEA learning approaches in school, school administrator, mentors, and workers who
should be have more individualization of their thinking, in the other hand, most of
them are staying at the same institutional education with the leading of themselves and

to be able to understand of self-developing peace and produce to children’ preach by
their parents and schooling memberships, absolutely.
In terms of learning management disciplines and positions that based on the
specific and profound of the contemplative education approach and the optimum
experience approach. Using the contemplative education and the optimum experience
approaches are believed the foundational contemplative at the first to leading of the
optimum leaning achievements with the administration and activate management,
previously.
Future Research Suggestions
To investigate of the learning management processes based on contemplative education
and the optimum experience approaches’ variables of the previous research studies,
which the variable effects are missed the concept of the contemplative education and
the optimum experience approaches for adapting these approaches to practice and train
to early childhood level are provided.
Generally, children’s durability of their abilities to their relationships between
teacher and children interactional behaviours should be has enough times to spend on
planning learning management processes more than 1-2 academic years for making
several distinctive contributions to be field of classroom learning environments that
they are studied to be carried out of curriculum and instruction context.
