Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) study conditions and problems, 2) develop, 3) try out, and 4) assess satisfaction with the development of a program to create subject evaluation reports in Prapassorn Rangsit School, using the action research method. The research was carried out in 4 cycles consisting of 3 steps of operations: 1) planning, 2) action & observation, and 3) reflection. The target group consisted of 11 people who were purposively sampled. The tools used were an interview form, focus group discussion issues, a manual/program trial evaluation form, and a satisfaction assessment form. The analysis of data was divided into 2 parts: the qualitative data employed content analysis and the quantitative data employed the mean and standard deviation. The results of the research can be summarized as follows:


1. The study of the conditions and problems related to the creation of the subject evaluation reports revealed a current problem that teachers were required to record every student’s learning achievement in every subject, in a subject evaluation report in a notebook. This caused many problems for the teachers. So, the researcher inquired about guidelines for development in this matter. The researcher obtained 2 approaches of solving the problem: 1) synthesizing information and additional suggestions before developing the innovation, and 2) conducting a pilot study of innovation development to reduce the steps of the registration and evaluation work.


2. In the development of the subject evaluation reports, it was found that as the results of the synthesis in Cycle 1, the researcher had determined elements according to the synthesis process from Cycle 1, with principal elements being: 1) criteria for evaluating desirable characteristics; 2) indicators/learning outcomes, learning strands; 3)a class attendance record; 4) a record of midterm scores and final scores; 5) student competencies; 6) desired characteristics assessment form, and 7) the steps of printing the subject evaluation reports, using Microsoft Excel. The results of the expert’s assessment of the propriety of the elements of development revealed that they were at the highest level.


3. The results of the tryout of the program for the creation of the subject evaluation reports, from the manual/program trial evaluation, as a whole, yielded the average score at the highest level.


4. The assessment of satisfaction with the development of the program for the creation of the subject evaluation reports yielded an overall score at a high level.
