Abstract:
One of the most popular concepts to teach students in the twenty-first century is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 14 "Life Below Water." The purposes of this research were to study (1) the concept of goal 14 “Life below Water” as a way to learn about the SDGs and (2) the outcomes of using coaching strategy to construct knowledge, understanding, and empower learners as responsible global citizens. This study was mixed methods research. The sample consisted of 74 Srinakharinwirot University students who were enrolled in the "Active Citizens" subject. Data were analyzed using basic statistics and t-tests by using the randomized control group pretest–posttest design. The coaching strategy was used as a teaching method for helping learners study the concepts of SDGS and Goal 14. For focus group discussion, the sample consisted of 23 students. Content analysis was used to examine the data. It was found that (1) coaching strategy assisted learners in achieving high levels of knowledge and understanding of Goal 14, which was statistically significant at the .05 level. The average score after treatment was 18.67; and (2) the process of coaching helped learners as responsible global citizens have high levels of awareness of Goal 14 and assisted learners in changing their cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral patterns to prevent, protect, and conserve the ocean, sea, and marine resources for sustainable development. It was suggested that higher education should make a curriculum that helps students become responsible global citizens, which is important for sustainable development.
