Abstract

          This study employed a mixed-methods research design to examine participatory management of network partners in academic affairs and to investigate guidelines for developing participatory management of network partners in academic affairs of the district service units under the Nan Provincial Special Education Center. The population consisted of 108 participants, including 3 administrators of the Nan Provincial Special Education Center, 8 heads of service units, 22 teachers, 44 caregivers for children with disabilities, 23 multidisciplinary professionals, and 8 members of the basic education institution committee. The research instruments were a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, which were pilot-tested with a non-sample group of 30 participants, yielding an overall reliability coefficient of 0.98. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and content analysis. The results indicated that the overall level of participatory management of network partners in academic affairs was high, with participation in implementation and participation in evaluation rated at the highest level, while participation in decision-making and participation in receiving benefits were rated at a high level, respectively. The guidelines for developing participatory management at the Nan Provincial Special Education Center emphasize joint decision-making in setting goals based on the principles of decentralization and the establishment of Professional Learning Communities (PLC), collaborative implementation through classroom research to develop innovations leading to best practices, joint evaluation using a variety of assessment tools along with systematic supervision and monitoring, and shared benefits through incentive systems, recognition of academic achievements, and parallel attention to personnel welfare and mental health care.
