DEVELOPING AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION ADMINISTRATION MODEL BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF LIFELONG LEARNING

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: (1) examine an educational institution administration model based on the concept of lifelong learning; (2) develop an educational institution administration model based on the concept of lifelong learning; and (3) evaluate and validate an educational institution administration model based on the concept of lifelong learning. A mixed-methods research design was employed, consisting of 4 phases. Data were collected from two groups: 9 experts selected through purposive sampling and a sample of 400 participants chosen using stratified random sampling. The research instruments included in-depth interviews, a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.854, and an evaluation and validation form. Data analysis involved content analysis, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and exploratory factor analysis.

          The findings revealed that: (1) the analysis of the components of an educational institution administration model based on the concept of lifelong learning identified 5 components and 22 indicators; (2) the developed model consisted of 5 main elements; Education policy and planning development, Curriculum and learning model development, Teacher and educational personnel development, Establishment of learning resources and educational infrastructure and Promotion of educational collaboration and networking; and (3) the evaluation and validation results indicated that the model was deemed appropriate, accurate, useful, and feasible.
