As well as everyday life that saves energy. public transport Choose food from local sources and use in moderation And choosing the type of food that is eaten is also a factor. while also creating greenhouse gases
The Civic Engagement knowledge base test was developed as part of the Future Workforce Competency in Part III of the TGAT, which is This is a new subject that is taking the exam this year for the first time.

About the college entrance exam that has been in the news recently. One should not be quick to rejoice that such examinations have provoked a social wave.
Indeed, the above-wide debate is not directly related to making awareness or awareness to choose food to avoid global warming. Rather, it reflects the social unrest with which the exam can be challenging for candidates. many people in society This includes academics and teachers from a wide range of professions. is reflected as a question that can be interpreted in many ways. It does not limit the scope of the analysis to find a suitable answer.
“What should be done is Accept requests from the public Answers with detailed explanations. and identify the origin of the source so that it can be verified. Including modifying the question format to be clearer in the future However, if the above questions for this year’s exam are unclear You should give this score to the children Everyone who sat the examsaid Dr Teera.
However, if you can follow the process above It should be a case study that will trigger and stimulate learning at all levels. both in educational institutions And in society, I would like to suggest that relevant agencies take them into account.
The education system focuses on rote learning. lack of analytical thinking
While Mr Thara Buakamsri, Director of Greenpeace south-east asia Noting that the test reflects the Thai education system which emphasizes rote learning and a lack of systematic thinking. The exam questions are very vague. And the 4 options are even more ambiguous.
question of ambiguityin
(1) The word “production of greenhouse gases” which can be a type of greenhouse gas (which is not only carbon dioxide), one type / many types, or considered in terms of the Carbon Footprint, which is an amount all types of greenhouse gas emissions
(2) the ambiguity of the term “leading to global warming…” because each type of greenhouse gas has a different global warming potential
When the question is vague/ambiguous Finding the answer to which question is correct is therefore unfair to the person taking the test. One might think of the greenhouse gas emissions of chicken, pork, salmon and marine animals (octopus, shrimp, etc.) acquired either industrially or domestically. Some may think of the Carbon Footprint of each menu, others may think as far as the supply chain from start to finish of each menu.
“It is important to ask clear, intelligent questions. Which TGAT dish has the least global warming? “There is a real problem, because asking questions does not lead to one true answer.” Mr Tara said
However, if you think that “creating greenhouse gases” means “Age of Carbon Footprints”, do not forget that It is not easy to compare carbon footprints without using the same Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
Marking questions should also be 4 food menu Like rice with stir-fried chicken with garlic and pepper, pork gravy, salmon steak and seafood suki mixed with chicken, pork, salmon and seafood (probably shrimp) in the same weight coming from industrial production were compared on an equal basis, etc.
The question asked did not state anything specific. as a condition for test takers to think critically to find answers that are “One Truth”, so even if you say the test is based on world standards Don’t expect one correct answer.
