A Systematic Review of the "Think Pair Share" Technique in Enhancing Operational Competency

Abstract

This study presents a systematic review focused on the utilization of the "Think Pair Share" technique in crafting training models to augment the proficiency of operational personnel, emphasizing quality development criteria for operational excellence. Research articles from 2020 to 2023 were extracted from the Scopus database and the Thai Journal Citation Index Center using the keyword "Think Pair Share." Out of 140 identified articles in Scopus, 71 were pertinent to Social Sciences. The Thai database yielded 25 relevant articles using a combination of related keywords. In total, 96 articles underwent a rigorous review process. The research method employed a two-stage screening, starting with title and abstract reviews followed by full-text evaluations. This systematic approach aimed to derive and integrate the methodologies, frameworks, and outcomes from the studies, showcasing the efficacy of the "Think Pair Share" technique in the domain of research. The insights from this review will provide trainers, educators, and decision-makers with an evidence-based understanding of the technique's applicability and effectiveness in diverse contexts. Furthermore, this synthesis illuminates potential areas for future research, hinting at evolving trends and emergent practices in operational training grounded in the "Think Pair Share" methodology.
