This article aims to introduce an innovative approach to classroom student participation and academic performance in a flexible learning environment at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University in Thailand. To achieve this goal, a series of theories, concepts, and related research were reviewed and a comprehensive model of relevant factors was constructed. The research design adopted a mixed methods approach, utilizing quantitative research to test the relationships between variables in the model, followed by qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of how these factors affect students’ grades. Combining the results of quantitative and qualitative research can provide guidance for improving the performance of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University students in flexible learning systems in Thailand.
