Abstract: Marine Protected Areas can benefit from nature based
tourism, monitoring environmental impacts and also become target
for human presence. From more than 3 million tourists visiting
Cozumel Island every year, an average of 2,8 million arrive by cruise
ship, and 41% are estimated to have motivation for water activities.
The destination is relying so much on the tourism activity, that scuba
diving and snorkeling in the National Park Reef of Cozumel sustain
the major economic activity. In order to achieve the sustainable
development indicator designed for regional environmental
development, the PNAC offers a training course to tourism providers
to access the protected area. This way, the update of the last 5 years
of such training is directed to diving staff, boat crew and
professionals, making them able to assist in managing the natural
resource. Moreover, the case study is an example to be used for
raising awareness among tourists visiting protected areas.
Abstract: This research aims to develop and evaluate a training
course to promote learning activities of 2nd year, Suan Sunandha
Rajabhat University, faculty of education students using multiple
intelligences theory. The process is divided into two phases: Phase 1
development of training course to promote learning activities
consisting of principles, objectives of the course, structure, training
duration, content, training materials, training activities, media
training, monitoring, measurement and evaluation quality of the
course. Phase 2 evaluation efficiency of training course was to use
the improved curriculum with experimental group which is 2nd year,
Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, faculty of education students
was drawn randomly 152 students. The experimental pattern was
randomized Control Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design, Analysis Data
by t-Test with the software SPFSS for Windows. Research has shown
that: 1). the ability of teaching and learning according to the theory of
multiple intelligences after training is higher than before training
significantly in statistic at .01 level, 2). The satisfaction of students
to the training courses was overall at the highest level.
