Abstract
This research aimed 1) to evaluate the Doctor of Philosophy Program in Thai Language Instruction (New Curriculum 2020), Faculty of Education, Silpakorn University, and 2) to study guidelines for improving the program for the revised version in 2025. The curriculum evaluation employed Stufflebeam's CIPPI Model, comprising assessments in five areas: context, input, process, product, and impact. The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews with stakeholders of the curriculum. Quantitative data were analyzed using basic statistics, while qualitative data underwent content analysis.
The results revealed that the Doctor of Philosophy Program in Thai Language Instruction was highly appropriate in all aspects. Guidelines for curriculum improvement included: 1) maintaining the strengths of the current curriculum, 2) revising curriculum details that need improvement, such as updating course descriptions, and 3) enhancing curriculum management systems, for instance, closely monitoring students' thesis progress.
