Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study and reconsider documents that are
relevant to research concerning Thai values which will lead to groundwork planning
in the framework of education integration. The theory comes from the proven
knowledge or science which involves empirical evidence that merges books, research
and other documents related to Thai values in six sources in Thailand from ๑๙๖๑-
๒๐๑๑. Afterwards, Milton Rokeach, Gordon W. Allport and Leo Postman’s theories
were used to analyze, group and categorize documents.
The result of this study demonstrated that for the last ๕๐ years a total of
๕๘๙ documents were produced. In addition, after categorizing into seven groups
using Gordon W. Allport’s and Leo Postman’s methods, very few documents
investigating values in terms of aesthetic and political effects were found while ๓๗
percent of all documents focused on Social issues.
The roadmap for research about Thai values in the future should emphasize
modern, accurate subjects which go beyond the conservative ideas by combining
different branches of knowledge into interdisciplinary fields. We should focus on
value studies using theoretical and academic supports and systematic analysis while
giving precedence to the values of achieving, caring and having power over others,
and so on.
