Abstract

The needs and guidelines for early childhood teachers' competency at schools under Kamphaeng Phet's local administrative control were the focus of this study. The research process was divided into two phases. Studying the needs of development for early childhood teachers'
competency was the first stage. Purposive sampling was used to pick the 64 early childhood instructors who worked for Kamphaeng Phet, the local administrative unit. The questionnaire served as the research tool. It has a confidence value of 0.976. A questionnaire regarding early
childhood teachers' demands for development competency was the research tool. Frequency, percentage, standard deviation, and the Modified Priority Needs Index were used to prioritize the data throughout analysis. Studying the guidelines under local administrative Kamphaeng Phet for
the competency development of early childhood teachers was the second phase. Four experts that were chosen via purposive sampling served as the informants. The purpose of the in-depth interview was to gather data. Content Analysis was used to statistically examine the data. The
following were the findings of the study. 1) According to the findings of a needs assessment for early childhood teachers' ability at a school run by the local administration Kamphaeng Phet, knowledge competencies had the highest Priority Needs Index score, followed by skills competencies and attribute competencies. The local administrative Kamphaeng Phet should create manuals
and set up seminars and workshops for teachers to grow personally and learn more about early childhood children, according to the second set of results of a study on guidelines for the development of early childhood teachers' competency. It is recommended that school officials establish guidelines allowing instructors to assess each student individually to rectify and enhance early childhood development. Additionally, teachers should be encouraged to grow professionally and personally, support technological workshops, and monitor student progress. To develop and produce original works, educators should acquire new knowledge on their own and apply it to the technology they have learned from their online media training.
