| Abstract | Objective: 1) to study the cross-cultural learning adaptation of Muslim pre-service teachers from the southern border provinces studying at teacher education institutions in upper northern Thailand, and 2) to develop policy recommendations to support the cross-cultural learning adaptation of Muslim pre-service teachers from the southern border provinces for teacher education institutions in upper northern Thailand.Methodology: This study is qualitative research. The target area is Khun Khao University (pseudonym). Data was conducted in 2 phases: Phase 1 studied cross-cultural learning adaptation through document study, field observation, and semi-structured interviews with 12 Muslim pre-service teachers. Phase 2 involved policy recommendation formulation by drafting policy proposals from data in Phase 1 and critically discussing the policy proposals with 5 Muslim student club leaders from higher education institutions in upper northern Thailand. Data was collected from July 2023 to June 2024 and analyzed using content analysis.Research findings: 1) The cross-cultural learning adaptation of Muslim pre-service teachers can be categorized into 3 dimensions: i) Adapting Muslim practices in a new cultural environment ii) Negotiating and creating learning spaces aligned with Muslim practices iii) Adapting and learning to construct a Muslim pre-service teachers’ identity. 2) The study recommends that teacher education institutions implement policies and practices to facilitate the adaptation and learning of Muslim pre-service teachers in 5 key areas: facilities, extra-curricular activities, curriculum and instruction, professional teaching experience, and staff. Additionally, these institutions should adopt policies that support and encourage non-Muslim students to learn about and understand the religion and cultural practices of Muslim students from the southern border provinces.Contributions: Teacher education institutions in upper northern Thailand can adapt in designing and establishing specific policies according to their institutional contexts that support cross-cultural learning adaptation of Muslim pre-service teachers from the southern border provinces of Thailand. |
