The world is changing at a much faster pace than in the past and has become more connected than ever before. This has led to increasing levels of economic competition and socio-political-cultural transformation. The necessity for Thailand to compete internationally is based on the creation of quality graduates. The rapid changes in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are transforming the ways people think, live, learn, and interact. These rapid changes have implications in all spheres of national development and higher education learning. For Thailand to remain competitive in an age of global movement and uncertainty, a knowledge-based society, i.e., a society that generates innovations through creativity and shared and utilized knowledge, must be developed. The flipped classroom approach has a recognized record of delivering the active learning pedagogy to the modern classroom. This practitioners' perspective provides further insights into why Thailand's higher education system would benefit from adapting to this innovative active learning pedagogy.

Scientific literacy is the ability to explain phenomena and solve problems using scientific knowledge. Despite being an important factor in the scientific and technological advancement of society, students worldwide struggle to attain the skills necessary to demonstrate competency in scientific literacy. This study examines the capacity for a cognitive style-based learning strategy (CSBLS) to improving students' environmental knowledge and scientific literacy. 55 students from two Indonesian state junior high schools (SMPN) participated in the research; 30 students from SMPN 6, Banjarmasin and 25 students from SMPN 21, Banjarmasin. The CSBLS was applied during six classroom meetings over a three week period using a group pre-test and post-test on the topic of environmental pollution. The study concluded that the CSBLS was able to improve students' environmental knowledge and scientific literacy. In addition, the learning strategy supported students different cognitive styles (Field Independent/FI and Field Dependent/FD, although scaffolding was still needed for tasks that required more complex thinking such as scientific literacy, particularly for FD. This research indicates that a CSBLS has the potential to improve students' environmental knowledge and scientific literacy throughout the learning process.

Mapping multivariate influence of learner characteristics on behavior highlights models in learning. To this end, we explored the relationships between strategies and learning characteristics and used regression analysis to understand how learner characteristics predict learning strategy choices. A cross-sectional research design with 175 students revealed high levels of strategy use, with statistically significant correlations within and between Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL; Oxford, 1990) and Student Characteristics of Learning (SCL; Artelt, Baumert, Julius-McElvany, &amp; Peschar, 2003) scales. Regression analyses revealed differences in the types of learner characteristics predicting strategy use, most notably between direct and indirect strategy categories. Instrumental motivation was predictive for both direct and indirect SILL subcomponents, while self-efficacy influenced memory, cognitive and compensation strategies, and persistence predicted reported levels of metacognitive and affective strategy choice. Moreover, a negative path coefficient existed from persistence to compensation strategies and from competition to memory strategies, indicating mediation and overall rich complexity in how learner characteristics influence behavior.
