Abstract

             This study aimed to (1) investigate foundational data regarding the development of teachers’ active learning management competencies; (2) design a competency enhancement model; (3) implement the developed model; and (4) evaluate its effectiveness. The sample included 1,178 parents, five experts, nine specialists, and 1,088 students. Research instruments included questionnaires, interview forms, achievement tests, evaluation forms, document analysis tools, and focus group discussion records, and statistical methods including percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, relative gain scores, and priority needs index.
             The results revealed the following: 1) Key components of active learning management competencies included curriculum development, instructional design, learner-centered pedagogy, digital media and technological innovations for learning management, assessment and evaluation, and research for student development. The current competency level was moderate, while the desired level was high. 2) The model consisted of principles, objectives, content, procedures, evaluation, and success conditions. Both the model and the user manual were found to be highly accurate and appropriate. 3) After implementation, deputy directors and teachers demonstrated a very high understanding of active learning management competencies, and overall model performance was rated at the highest level. 4) The evaluation showed that: (a) the national test scores for Grade 9 and Grade 12 students in the academic year 2024 exceeded national averages and improved compared to 2023; (b) 96.82% of students met the desired characteristics at a good level or higher; (c) student competency exceeded the target by 4.94%; (d) the model's feasibility and usefulness were rated at the highest level; and (e) satisfaction with the model was also at the highest level.
