THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRIVATE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MODEL TO THE HIGH–QUALITY SCHOOL IN THE NORTHEASTERN REGION

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop a private school management model for the high–quality schools in the Northeastern Region of Thailand. The research methodology was implemented in three phases. Phrase 1 involved examining the components and guidelines for private school management for achieving high–quality schools in the Northeastern Region of Thailand. This phrase comprised document synthesis, component analysis based on survey data collected from 146 participants, including directors and deputy directors of private schools in the Northeastern Region of Thailand, and interviews with six scholars. Phase 2 focused on developing and validating the private school management model for achieving high–quality schools in the Northeastern Region of Thailand. This phase employed a focus group discussion with nine scholars. Phase 3 consisted of evaluating the developed private school management model. The evaluation was conducted with 73 private school administrators and 20 directors of the Supervision, Monitoring, and Evaluation Division under the Provincial Education Office in the Northeastern Region of Thailand.

The findings indicated that the developed private school management model for achieving high–quality schools in the Northeastern Region of Thailand comprised five components: principles, objectives, management scope, management processes, and guidelines for evaluation management. The validation results demonstrated that scholars rated the model’s appropriateness at the highest level. Its feasibility and usefulness were rated at a high level and the highest level, respectively.
