The rapid digitalization of music education presents challenges in developing creative music arranger skills among Thai youth. This study investigates the application of ubiquitous learning principles to address this issue, aiming to enhance music education in the Thai context. The research objectives were to: 1) analyze key concepts and components of ubiquitous learning applicable to developing creative music arranger skills, 2) examine the relationship between ubiquitous learning principles and the process of developing these skills, and 3) present a theoretical framework for designing ubiquitous learning innovations for Thai youth. This theoretical study employed a comprehensive literature review and conceptual analysis, focusing on ubiquitous learning, music education, and the Thai cultural context. The research synthesized existing knowledge to develop a new conceptual framework. The study identified five crucial components of ubiquitous learning (permanency, accessibility, immediacy, interactivity, and context-awareness) and their applications in developing creative music arranger skills. It revealed significant relationships between these principles and four key aspects of creative music arranger: sound crafting, musical architecture, rhythmic patterning, and emotional articulation. The research culminated in a novel theoretical framework comprising four main components: adaptive learning environment, collaborative music creation, continuous skill development, and cultural integration. This framework provides a foundation for designing culturally relevant, technologically advanced music education tools. It contributes to the field by integrating ubiquitous learning principles with creative music arranger skills in the Thai context, potentially influencing future research, educational practices, and policy-making in music education and technology-enhanced learning.
