Abstract

This research article aimed to examine the current state of environmental education school operations and to explore guidelines for developing environmental education school operations under the Office of Nan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The sample group used in this research consisted of 234 school administrators and teachers from primary schools under the Office of Nan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The sample size was determined based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, and stratified random sampling was employed, classified by district. The research instruments consisted of two types: a five-point rating scale questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.705 and a semi-structured interview form. The statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The results of the study revealed that the overall state of environmental education school operations under the Office of Nan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 was at a high level. The guidelines for developing environmental education school operations consisted of four aspects: (1) environmental policy and administrative structure, (2) learning process management, (3) natural resource and environmental management in schools, and (4) participation and environmental education networks. Each aspect consisted of three development guidelines, resulting in a total of twelve guidelines.
