This is an analytic-descriptive study. A sample group of 30 secondyear higher vocational certificate students was chosen via cluster random sampling. Classrooms were used as the sampling units. The research instruments included the learning management model, a digital skills assessment scale, a creative problem-solving assessment scale, an analytical thinking ability assessment scale, and an academic achievement motivation assessment scale. The statistics used for data analysis were percentages, means, standard deviations, and t-tests (dependent samples) to test for differences in means. The research findings revealed the following: the students' digital skills after receiving instruction using the model were significantly higher than before receiving instruction, at the .05 level; the students'creative problem-solving scores after receiving instruction using the model were significantly higher than before receiving instruction, at the .05 level; the students' critical thinking ability after receiving instruction using the model was significantly higher than before receiving instruction, at the .05 level; the students who received instruction using the model demonstrated achievement motivation that was overall at a high level.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Instructional model, digital skills, creative problem-solving, critical thinking, achievement motivation. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

UNESCO (2022) emphasizes that vocational education, traditionally focused on providing mid-level technical labor, must now cultivate professionals who are \"digitally-augmented\" and capable of continuous learning, solving complex, unstructured problems, and self-regulating their motivation. The World Economic Forum (2020) similarly identifies creative problem-solving, critical analysis, and self-directed learning as the top competencies most relevant to emerging job sectors. However, large-scale audits of Thai vocational colleges highlight a persistent  \nreliance on teacher-centered methods, such as demonstrations, note-taking, and algorithmic replication (Thongpanit, 2021) . This mismatch between the curriculum and the demands of Industry 4.0 has contributed to a significant \"competency gap,\" which this study seeks to address.  \nConceptualizing the core competencies  \nIn today’s digital landscape, digital skills go beyond basic ICT operations. They now involve the strategic ability to  \nAfr Educ Res J 322  \naccess, curate, and create knowledge artifacts while navigating concerns such as privacy, security, and algorithmic bias (Audrin, Audrin and Salamin, 2024) . Creative problem-solving (CPS) is defined as the process of generating and refining novel ideas within real-world constraints (Treffinger, Isaksen and Dorval, 2003), and it is critical for navigating complex, ever-changing environments. Critical thinking (CT) involves the careful evaluation of evidence, identifying underlying assumptions, and constructing reasoned arguments (Thayer, 2006) . Finally, achievement motivation, framed within self-determination theory (SDT), reflects the intensity and persistence of mastery-oriented ","cbCaieTtyl2vk6bc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieTtyl2vk6bc","pdf",124218,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Conceptualizing the core competencies\n## Pedagogical threads: From constructivism to phenomenon-based learning\n## Empirical gaps specific to Thai vocational education","[{\"question\":\"What learning outcomes does the study aim to improve?\",\"answer\":\"The model targets digital skills, creative problem-solving, analytical/critical thinking ability, and achievement motivation among higher vocational certificate students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants selected and how was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"Thirty second-year students were selected via cluster random sampling, with classrooms as sampling units, using an analytic-descriptive approach.\"},{\"question\":\"What instruments and statistical methods were used to evaluate effectiveness?\",\"answer\":\"Assessment tools included scales for digital skills, creative problem-solving, analytical thinking, and achievement motivation; analysis used percentages, means, standard deviations, and dependent-samples t-tests.\"}]","Effectiveness of an instructional model to enhance digital skills, creative problem-solving, critical thinking and achievement motivation for higher vocational certificate students | PDF",1792071737]
