| Abstract: | Encouraging the development of professional competencies among rural students is crucial, because it not only supports knowledge acquisition but also strengthens their abilities in specific occupations. Online learning has emerged as a significant tool for teaching rural students because it addresses the limitations of traditional teaching methods, particularly in practical competency-based courses. This paper proposes a digital learning platform to enhance professional competencies through effective blended learning pedagogy using flipped classrooms that emphasize practical instructional strategy. We employed stratified sampling to select 78 students and four teachers from four rural schools participating in a Thai dessert preparation course. Our findings suggest that using a digital learning platform can enhance students' achievement and professional competencies in a blended environment. Ultimately, both the teachers and the students reported a high level of satisfaction with this approach. |
