Kasetsart University's agro-industry faculty has decided to end the use of paper blinker- hats intended to prevent students cheating during exams, even though the hats were designed by students who were willing to wear them.
Asst Prof Tanaboon Sajjaanantakul, the faculty’s dean, said the paper blinker hats were used for a mid-term examination for a Textile Testing course. Wide-spread comments on the use of the hats on social media had drawn a mixed reaction from the public and caused a lot of stress to lecturers in the faculty, he said.
Mr Tanaboon insisted that there was no cheating problem during examinations in the faculty and the students were not forced to wear the hats. The trial was in fact the outcome of a discussion between lecturers and students, as part of the teaching of ethics and honesty, he said.
Natdanai Rungruangkitkrai, the Textile Test course lecturer, said he regretted that the issue had received such a strong negative response from the public, adding that he had tried to encourage creativity during his eight years in the job.
In this particular case, he wanted to teach students about ethics, so asked them how to prevent cheating in relation to an issue close to them. Full story...
