| Abstract | In early 2017, a combined team of faculty members and students from King Mongkut's Institute ofTechnology, Ladkrabang (KMITL) and Ball State University (BSU), U.S.A., conducted a three-week field studyin three neighborhoods around Si Satchanalai Historical Park, one of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Thailand.Drawing on the concepts of Coordination, Cooperation, and Collaboration (3Cs), the Thai and foreign studentsjointly created several spatial maps to record their encounters with the livelihoodalong with artistic andarchitectural heritages, as well as social and cultural practicesin Nong O, Sarachit, and Dong Khu sub-districtsin Sukhothai province.The abovementioned activities supplied the contextual basis for this research to assess the pedagogicalefficacy of learning from real-life experiences via the spatial mapping projects in those communities. Informedby Bloom's taxonomies of learning, the upcoming evaluative discussions contained a series of independentsample t-tests, utilizing a number of questionnaires and surveys for collecting data to construct a contentmodel in terms of comparative studies between the KMITL and BSU members.In effect, the statistical inquiries disclosed that not only did the participants advance their cross-culturalinteractions and understanding with each other, but also gained a higher body of knowledge apart fromdeveloping many crucial skills, such as critical and creative thinking capabilities. The qualitative investigationsfurther exhibited that the 2017 KMITL-BSU fieldwork contributed several scholarly improvements, resultingin academic achievements by the partakers from both universities. |
