Abstract :
This paper proposed a science and technology learning model with technology and innovation content in order to encourage high school student to learning in engineering career. The model was developed based on Kolb´s learning cycle and integrated with active learning technique to organize enrichment class for Thai high school program. Technology content is an important learner motivation in learning of basic science and mathematics. In addition, the content can encourage student to learn more in science and mathematics. Based on the proposed learning model, Thai high school student have development of vital performance, 21st century and scientific skills and interest in career part of learner. Moreover, many teacher comforting and relaxing from task in their classroom. The interview results showed that the proposed model can encourage Thai high school student to study science and technology career.
