Miller describes the results of an empirical qualitative study of computer science (CS) education in Thailand, between 1999 and 2004. During that time, Australia assisted Thailand through the Thailand-Australia Science and Engineering Assistance Project (TASEAP); the paper does not describe how the funds were used.

The study relied on a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews. It also included a descriptive interpretation of Thai perspectives of the educational changes in CS. In the preliminary study, data was collected from 15 interviews of 60 to 90 minutes, from two universities. This was followed by 29 more interviews, at another eight universities. Informal interviews were also conducted with deans and heads of departments.

The paper includes a number of responses from the interviews and a table listing TASEAP outcomes, although it is not clear how these outcomes were determined. For example, one of the outcomes is that “research experience and engagement of teaching staff had improved,” but no evidence is presented that supports this conclusion.
