Self-Appreciation Grit and Futuristic Thinking of Secondary School Students under Office of the Private Education Commission Pattani Province Post Covid-19 Pandemic

This study aimed to investigate self-appreciation, grit, and futuristic thinking among secondary school students, with the following objectives: to compare these constructs across personal and family factors, examine their interrelationships, and identify factors influencing them. The research utilized a descriptive design with a sample of 379 students (Grades 8–12) under the Private Education Commission in Pattani Province during the 2023 academic year. Four questionnaires were employed, with reliabilities of .96, .89, and .92. Data were analyzed using mean, ANOVA, and MANOVA. Results indicated high levels of self-appreciation and futuristic thinking, with grit at a moderate level. Significant differences in these constructs were observed by grade level, while family income and parental education influenced self-appreciation. Self-appreciation correlated positively with grit and futuristic thinking. Gender and grade significantly influenced the constructs, while family factors showed no significant impact.
