Research Abstract

We systematically observed the traditional weaving and dyeing skills, passed down between generations through oral tradition and techniques of the body, in the preliterate Karen Society in Thailand. The data was analyzed and difficulty parameters assessed for each skill using the Item Response Theory(modern test theory). These results were the basis for developing a curriculum("Fabric Weaving and Dyeing Techniques Educational Training Program") to teach skills in order of increasing difficulty and at the most appropriate age for skill acquisition. We implemented the curriculum on a trial-basis as part of Thai Public School vocational education. We also discussed how to implement the program on a wider scale with the relevant members of the Thai Ministry of Education.
