Information from the abstract
Higher education is a resource of knowledge, provides basic understanding of professional practice, and aims at advancing skill cultivation for learners. Those lecturing impact assessment (IA) in higher education across the world, including Thailand, are expected to be knowledgeable, sustaining professional collaborations. This paper aims at (1) establishing the course categories IA is offered in at higher education institutions in Thailand; (2) exploring IA teaching and research activities amongst academics in Thailand; and (3) conducting a SWOT analysis of teaching and research in IA in Thailand. The paper is informed by documentary analysis, internet searches, workshops, surveys, and semi-structured interviews with key informants (n = 19). Based on visits of websites of 125 universities/higher education (HE) institutions, it is found that 76 out of 171 HE institutions (44.44%) offer 173 EA/ EIA‑related courses (124 at undergrad, 39 at master, and 10 at doctorate levels). A key challenge for IA‑related HE in Thailand is a limited connection between teaching and research.
