Introduction

It is estimated that over the next 15 years, 14% of the workforce is at high risk of being replaced by automation, and another 30% face changes in skills used in the workforce. Many countries worldwide have struggled with the inability to create young people and working-class people with work skills and life skills high enough to face disruptive technology. Affect to changes in work and employment. Disruptive technology is a term that describes the large-scale changes that have occurred from modern technology of robotics and automation ( Hynes & Elwell, 2016). It will have an immediate and severe impact on careers and work skills, a vital part of the fourth industrial revolution.

In Bower & Christensen's article Disruptive technology: catch the wave, he said that some new technologies could destroy or change the order of existing market domination or even create new markets ( Bower & Christensen, 1995). And in 1997, Clayton et al. (2013)said that the model of technological development, Sustaining Technology, was a gradual improvement and that the form of Disruptive Technology, a new storm, may initially be incomplete but can improve rapidly and efficiently beyond mainstream technology. Technology forecasters have identified a group of disruptive technology, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, advanced materials, and nanotechnology that create and expand each other, affecting socioeconomic, political, geographic, and population factors ( Manyika et al., 2013; World Economic Forum, 2016).

According to the National Economic and Social Development Board (NEC), specify the quarter unemployment rate 3 (2017) at 1.2%, or 450,000 unemployed, 0.9% higher than the same period last year, 1% or 400,000 above the standard threshold. The use of industrial machinery is increasing, but the use of the industry is in line with the government's Thailand 4.0 policies, and the industry needs to use machinery in part because Thailand is moving into an aging society. The proportion of older people now reaches 10% of the population of 67 million, and in the future, it will increase to 20%, so the industry must prepare for production processes in line with people of working age due to lower birth rates.

For Thailand, “Thai People's Development 4.0” is the most critical factor in driving the country from middle-income trap countries to high-income countries. The ideal educational arrangement for the development of Thai people 4.0 is TVET education and training, which is recognized worldwide for its role in preparing people to participate in the creation of work values and critical sources of the workforce and skilled workforces, and critical skills in the 21 century for TVET learners including 1) science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), 2) problem-solving, and 3) 4C's (critical thinking). Communication, collaboration, and creativity)

This research contains objects to study TVET management conditions. In the Disruptive Technology era, TVET management models were developed. Buddhist style in disruptive technology and proposed TVET management style Buddhist genres of the Disruptive Technology era Focus on presenting vocational education management models by studying current problems and proposing development models and approaches to benefit the vocational education management drive.

Literature Review

The concepts and theories involved in this research consist of two parts: 2.1) concepts about Disruptive Technologies and effects 2.2) concepts on vocational education arrangements. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Concept about Disruptive Technologies

Disruptive technology refers to innovations or technologies used to create markets and value products that apply technology and severely impact the market of existing products, potentially causing businesses that use traditional technologies to be knocked down or closed, unlike conventional innovations for efficiency-enhancing purposes. Increase product quality or reduce traditional route costs only. In its report, the McKinsey Global Institute identified 12 technologies that would influence global change.

Mobile Internet is a tool that uses Internet technology to connect with the world, such as mobile banking, for financial transactions over the Internet.

Advanced Oil and Gas Exploration and Recovery is a technology that advances in pioneering oil and gas mining. It can make more oil and gas. Renewable Electricity Technology: The technology generates electricity from sources that never end, such as sunlight, wind, waves, hot springs.

Effects of Disruptive Technology

Christensen & Raynor (2003) classified the technology into two categories: sustaining technologies, a technology-focused on improving the efficiency of products in traditional mechanical systems. The other type of technology is called Disruptive technologies, which develop products/services to have new systems and cheaper. Disruptive technology may or may not be the latest technology, perhaps an existing one. However, there are changes in specific market elements, such as quality, production process efficiency, cost, or price, making these technologies the right conditions desirable to become popular with the market.

Concept about Vocational Education Educational & Training Techniques (TVET)

The relevant concepts and theories in this section include 1) meaning, vocational education, educational techniques and training (TVET), and 2) the skills required for TVET in the 21 century as follows: Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is recognized worldwide for its role in preparing people to participate in creating work value and skilled sources of the workforce. According to a 2001 joint publication by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) on Vocational Education and Technical Studies and Training for the 21 Century, TVET is defined as 1) as an essential component of the ordinary line, 2) prepares people into the profession and the world of work effectively (Oviawe et al., 2017). Similarly, UNESCO (2009) defines TVET as public and private educational institutions in many forms. Formal or informal education is intended to provide all community members with access to this learning path throughout their lives.

From the above definition, TVET aims to eliminate ignorance. Increase knowledge, develop skills, and cultivate the attitudes necessary to enter the profession and advance (Kukoyi, 2009), in line with the concept of Instrumental, explaining that TVET's goal is to develop people to their full potential. With the environment in mind, Empower people for sustainable development, provide lifelong education, have professional qualifications, manage open and flexible learning. Certified and compared to transfer experience, high priority to vocational education by designating it as a national agenda. Investment reforms have been implemented in line with the development plan. There are benchmarks for indicators in quality management; there is a link between different studies. Continuing education and work Use performance-based learning with the core skills, skills needed for lifestyle. Personnel must have the right qualifications, quality, and qualifications, with continuous improvements for the status of graduates and professional workers to be comparable to other professional fields.

Reeve (2016) wrote an article titled 21st-century skills students need in technical and vocational education and training (TVET 21). And develop teaching and learning based on current educational concepts and practices. It also means providing the critical skills needed in the 21 century, critical skills in the 21 century for TVET learners, and guiding how to build these skills in TVET programs, including science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), problem-solving, and 4C's (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity), which are consistent with the concepts in Valerie Pong Prabhyai's article (2017). The necessary 21 skills of technical and vocational education learners in Thailand, the management of technical and vocational education in Thailand. Those involved need to provide students with core knowledge and key skills of the 21 century: 1) STEM skills, 2) problem-solving skills, and 3) 4 C's skills.

Research Methods

Research Framework shown in Figure 1 shows the research concept framework.

Figure 1 The Research Concept Framework

This research mixed methods research is used by quantitative research and qualitative research. An essential characteristic of qualitative research is qualitative data collection, including feelings. Opinions, beliefs, values, and attitudes of individuals regarding the management of Buddhist TVET in the Disruptive Technology era, data collection methods are in-depth interviews and focus groups, analyzing data with interpretation analysis. This process involves finding ideas that can describe and explain them to obtain more reliable and weighty information.

Populations and samples a group of informants in quantitative research is called a sample, qualitative research section, a group of targeted informants. Seung has the following details in selecting a group of informants: Quantitative research, the population used in this study includes vocational education personnel who teach under the office of the vocational education commission as of Table 1.

Analysis of Learning Skills and Innovation Data of Students

It depicts the perceptions and expectations of teachers towards the learning skills and innovations of the students they teach.

Data analysis, statistical analysis Mean: Standard Deviation (S.D.) compares the mean between perception/expectations with statistics (Paired Sample t-test) and interprets the mean by setting the criteria for interpreting data results in 5 levels as follows (Boonchom Srisanit, 2013).

The average of 4.51–5.00 means that there is the highest level of expectation/perception.

An average of  3.51–4.50  means that there is a high level of expectation/perception.

An average of  2.51–3.50 means moderate expectations/perceptions.

An average of  1.51–2.50 means that there is a low level of expectation/awareness.

An average of  1.00–1.50  means that there is minimal expectation/awareness.

From Table 3, the students' awareness, learning skills, and innovations in critical thinking skills are very high (3.84) considering that there is a high level of awareness in all of them, with the most perceptive averages: “Having decision-making skills under various circumstances” (3.86).

Summary of Qualitative Data Analysis Results with In-Depth Interviews

TVET arrangement conditions and obstacles consist of 5 sub-issues.  The need for people of the local labor market has been found to need digital industry personnel focused on creating artificial intelligence and mechatronics focused on programming. Robot Control  Creating Automation 2)  Medical and Biological Health Industry, Chemistry, Medicine  3)  Food industry,  Food for the future,  Agriculture and Biotechnology,  SMART FARM  4) Modern Automotive Industry, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Digital Development, Focused on Artificial Intelligence, Mechatronics, Programming Focused Robot Control  Creating automation, 5)  Aviation and logistics industry, and  6) other fields such as motor mechanics, power electricians, factory mechanics Electronics Technician Computer Technician Mechanical Writer.

Barriers to producing a workforce in line with the labor market include 1) curriculum problems. The curriculum fails to develop learners in time for the characteristics and skills that the labor market needs. The course is not designed for the next 4  or  5  years. Learner problems Students do not understand the course before entering, not pursuing career goals or future needs. Instructor issues Instructors have not yet developed themselves to have the skills that the labor market needs. Lack of training development in new technologies and management problems, lack of funding. Not enough tools, equipment, and systematic coordination of integrated work between one and outside agencies.

The problem of opening courses in disciplines linked to growth engine and  S–curve, New S–curve, such as the intelligent electronics industry, is that learners and instructors do not understand what professions they will pursue in the curriculum.

Local establishments are mainly internships/professional experience interns, group companies in industrial estates. Software Industry Group Aviation Industry Group Leading communications equipment, industry, and many significant private companies cooperate in research, training, and cooperative work.

Cooperation with foreign networks in the form of training for personnel, internships, professional experience training for students, but some obstacles include:  The problem is for students who do not wish to intern abroad. It's challenging and procedural.  Problems, the determination of responsible persons, and the cost of sending personnel abroad are pretty high.

Guidelines for applying technology and innovation to learning Transfer of knowledge to encourage learners

Developing existing skills (Reskill) to enhance new skills (Upskill) using technology to enable learners to learn for themselves.  The focus must focus on transferring performance and experience according to the performance of the curriculum and ensuring the learner's knowledge, skills, and experience. The expertise or excellence in the skills of each field must be focused. Focus on mixed learning, as some fields may not be able to self–learn because they require practice.

Promoting TVET is part of lifelong learning. It can happen by creating a mechanism of professional support.  Students, interested parties, come in and learn to gain skills and keep them as Craigits. Lead to lifelong learning mechanisms learning can be in the on-the-job training format.

They were applying technology and innovation to learning, knowledge transfer, and encouraging students to learn on their own throughout their lives continuously by promoting the use of innovation and technology in both learning management processes. Transfer of instructor knowledge and student research Creating Knowledge Module Sets Online teaching is available.  MOOCs and credit banks

The adoption of technology and innovation in the development of mass communication, Information technology, and telecommunications Learners can learn on their own and learn throughout their lives: online lessons, centers, abscesses, professional performance. Use AR VR in teaching and learning it must prepare infrastructure, networks, equipment.

Model of TVET Management in the Disruptive Technology Era

Based on document analysis, quantitative analysis, and qualitative analysis, It is concluded that in the disruptive technology era, digital transformation has been caused. It is leading to changes in skills needed for work and life. TVET institutions must make the most of integration, combining new technologies to prepare learners for the world of work today and in the future. By managing TVET to be ready for change under disruption, executives can adopt Buddhist principles as the basis of holistic organizational management. If the organization has the knowledge and, in conjunction with promoting morality for its members, it will lead to sustainable changes in society and the environment and elevate it to digital organizations.

There are many among the educational management concepts and theories that are widely taught in the academic sphere. One of the methods used to analyze the management of Thai education in the 21 century is the System Theory, an analytical method that focuses on the management system at all stages, including focusing on input, processes, output, and impact.

In research on the TVET management model in the Disruptive Technology era, to guide the agencies involved in the development of Thai people in the 4.0 era to produce graduates to the labor market and train to increase skills for workers in the labor market. By managing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the Disruptive Technology era, researchers analyze and formulate the following system theory (Figure 2):

Figure 2 Development of the Buddhist TVET Management Model

In the Disruptive Technology era

Context

In the disruptive technology era, there is a radical and rapid change, even as "education sectors" worldwide adapt, incorporating "digital technology" into teaching and exams.

It is expected that until 2020, the core skills that exist today will be lost as they can no longer be used. In addition to that, such skills will create a new type of work that requires different skills than those currently available. Changes to the working patterns will continue to occur faster. Such changes are particularly challenging for vocational education. That prepares graduates to enter rapidly changing employment. You need to prepare for the challenge as the working pattern changes very quickly. What students learn in school may therefore be obsolete. Upon graduation, entering the field of work, students should be able to change what they learn in school in the face of a new work model.

TVET has to accelerate the education system to keep pace with the changing era and seize it like educational institutions. "Learner performance" is primarily open to all people who have access to education, both systematically and informally, to be able to learn throughout their lifelong learning ( Chang et al., 2016).

Inputs

It consists of two activities: 1) TVET vision and 2) Technology that drives innovation in TVET. TVEV is a technical and vocational education and training institution. Curriculum and teaching are managed to develop students' quality following vocational education standards in the Thai academic era 4.0, enhancing labor by applying technology and innovation in the learning process. Learners can learn on their own and learn to innovate, create added value, and conform to changes in the digital world in the disruptive technology era.

The five technologies that drive innovation in TVET are the following technologies used to drive innovation in TVET: Ubiquitous computing is a conceptual technology that wants to connect networks with existing technologies to be accessed anytime, anywhere. Collaboration technologies, collaborative technology, enable efficient coordination. Reduce distance barriers. Extended reality technologies, a new technology that combines VR AR and MR, create a virtual world without limits. Artificial intelligence it’s like a brain inserted into various technologies and innovations. Blockchain is a technology that brings safety, reliability without intermediaries.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Processes

Consists of 3 activities: 1) Buddhist management, 2) teaching, and 3) internships. Management: This is an administration in which executives apply Buddhist principles to self-administration, Human management and work administrative.

Teaching & Learning

Principles of teaching and learning 1) Instructors are centered, coaches, counselors, enhancing knowledge, creating thinkers, 2) learners Create ideas Self-learning, self-reliance 3) Activities focus on how to think, collaborate Innovate and 4) Media/Content, open educational resources, and self-developed innovative materials.

Develop teaching and learning using potential digital technology In many ways, including Online classrooms that will improve the quality of the learner's education. Mobility keeps teaching from sticking to location and time. Learners can learn from anywhere, anytime. Instructors can teach from anywhere. Online learning via the web allows students to review lessons as often as they want. Analytics enables online teaching administrators to analyze students all the way around and use the information they have to improve the quality of online lessons. Social media for learners and instructors create collaborations. Engage and encourage more mutual discussion. Mixed learning The introduction of digital technology to help in the education sector enables a wide range of teaching materials and can improve existing knowledge.

Internships: Internships are the organization of learning processes to practice skills. Thought processes, coping management the situation and application of knowledge to prevent and solve problems are organized in cooperation between the school, the manufacturing, and the service sectors.

It should be open to parties to participate in vocational education management. Collaborate between public and private schools, including establishments.
