DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR ENHANCING TEACHERS’ COMPETENCY IN MODERN LEARNING MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE LEARNERS’ QUALITY AT ANUBAN MUEANG UTHAI THANI SCHOOL UNDER THE UTHAI THANI PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE 1

Abstract

The research on Developing a Model for Enhancing Teacher Competencies in Modern Learning Management to Improve Student Quality at Uthai Thani City Kindergarten, under the Office of Uthai Thani Primary Educational Service Area 1, had four main objectives: 1) to study the fundamental data on teacher competency development, 2) to develop a new model for this purpose, 3) to implement the model, and 4) to evaluate the model's effectiveness. The study was conducted in four phases: Phase 1: Foundational Data Study, involved 72 informants (administrators, teachers, and school committee members) and 5 experts. Phase 2: Model Development, involved 9 qualified experts. Phase 3: Model Implementation, involved 56 teachers. Phase 4: Model Evaluation, involved 72 informants (administrators, teachers, and school committee members) and 312 students. The research tools included questionnaires, interviews, tests, and assessment forms. Data analysis employed content analysis and statistical methods such as percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, Relative Gain Score, and PNIModified Index.

The research findings are as follows:

1. Fundamental Data: The overall current state of teacher competency was at a high level, with "Learning Management Planning" having the highest mean score. The expected state was at the highest level, with "Learning Assessment and Evaluation" having the highest mean score. The most urgent needs (PNIModified Index) were for "Learning Assessment and Evaluation," "Learning Activity Management," and "Learning Management Planning," respectively.


2. Model Development: The developed model consists of six components: (1) Principles, (2) Objectives, (3) Content, (4) Implementation, (5) Evaluation, and (6) Success Conditions. The overall quality and appropriateness of the model and its manual were rated at the highest level.


3. Model Implementation:

   3.1 The teachers' overall understanding of modern learning management improved significantly, with a very high development level. Post-implementation scores were statistically higher than pre-implementation scores at a .05 significance level.

             3.2 The teachers' overall ability to manage modern learning was rated at a high level.

1. Model Evaluation:

          4.1 Student learning outcomes in Grade 6 showed a 6% increase between the 2022 and 2023 academic years.

4.2 The overall feasibility and utility of the model were rated at the highest

level.

4.3 The overall satisfaction of administrators, teachers, and school committee

members with the model was rated at the highest level.

4.4 The overall satisfaction of students with the modern learning

management was rated at the highest level.
