Management Model using Participatory Management Process to Develop Student Care System of Rajaprachanukroh School 56, Nan Province

Abstract

                The research entitled “Developing a Participatory Management Model to Improve the Student Care and Support System at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province” aims to: 1) study the problems and needs in implementing student care and support; 2) create a participatory management model to improve the student care and support system; 3) test the participatory management model to improve the student care and support system; and 4) evaluate the participatory management model to improve the student care and support system at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province. The research was conducted in four steps: Step 1: Studying the problems and needs through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 12 participants. The tools used were in-depth interview guides and focus group discussion guides. Step 2: Developing the management model, which included: 1) Designing and drafting the model, with 5 experts reviewing its effectiveness and confirming its development; and 2) Checking the suitability of the model's user manual with 9 qualified experts. The tool used was an evaluation form for the accuracy and suitability of the model. Step 3: Testing the model… The target group included 4 school administrators, 81 teachers and educational personnel, 13 members of the basic education school committee, and 263 parents. The tools used were questionnaires for pilot testing the model and Step 4: evaluating the management model. The sample group included 85 teachers and educational personnel, 13 members of the basic education school committee, 263 students from grades 4 to 12, and 263 parents. The tools used were questionnaires on satisfaction with the model. Qualitative data was analyzed through data classification and systematization. Quantitative data was analyzed using computer software. Frequency distribution data was analyzed using the mean and standard deviation. The results showed that the research on a participatory management model to develop a student care and support system at Rajaprachanukroh 56 School, Nan Province, revealed that the initial problems stemmed from a lack of systematic management, unclear policies and vision, and outdated student data due to a lack of community participation and excessive teacher workloads. The main obstacle was the discontinuity in data screening and information collection. The researchers therefore developed a participatory management model consisting of five key components: principles and concepts, objectives, process model, implementation guidelines, and evaluation that comprehensively covers students, educational institutions, and the community. The overall suitability evaluation was rated as very high, and the overall appropriateness evaluation was rated as high. When the model was piloted, it was found to be highly effective, consistent with the satisfaction evaluation results of teachers and educational personnel, school committees, parents, and students, which were also rated as very high.
