https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286382
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> In an era of rapid technological and social change, innovative leadership is crucial in driving educational organizations to adapt and achieve sustainable growth. This study aims to explore the essential needs and development approaches for fostering the characteristics of innovative leaders among school administrators under the Office of Sakaeo Primary Educational Service Area 1.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The study employed a mixed-methods approach, consisting of (1) a quantitative study, which collected data from a sample of 110 school directors and deputy directors through an online questionnaire, analyzed using Krejcie & Morgan’s (1970) sample size table, and (2) a qualitative study, which conducted in-depth interviews with five purposively selected experts to analyze approaches for developing innovative leadership characteristics.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The current characteristics of innovative leaders are at a moderate level. However, when considering the desired state, they are at a significantly high level, indicating a gap that needs to be addressed. The highest priority for development is enhancing leaders' creative thinking skills, followed by fostering an environment conducive to development, promoting leader participation, and cultivating visionary leadership. To align the development of innovative leadership characteristics with actual needs, this study proposes four key development approaches. The first is visionary leadership, which should be supported through multidimensional data analysis and decision-making processes that encourage stakeholder participation. The second is leader participation, emphasizing the creation of management structures that facilitate knowledge exchange through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to systematically drive development.</p> <p>Additionally, creative thinking skills are crucial and should be nurtured by allocating resources and establishing an environment that encourages out-of-the-box thinking while promoting the use of technology and innovation in leadership. Lastly, creating an organizational atmosphere should focus on fostering an open work culture, encouraging trial and error as a learning process, and recognizing individuals who contribute creative ideas. These strategies will ultimately lead to sustainable innovation development within educational organizations.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The research findings highlight the necessity of developing innovative leadership characteristics, with a particular focus on enhancing creative thinking skills and fostering a learning environment conducive to development. These factors are crucial in effectively improving the overall quality of education.</p>Chotika ChoramRuangurai SetsungnoenSupannee Samarnyat

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286694
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Reading is essential in daily life, especially in the modern era, when information is available from diverse sources across various media. Reading serves as a crucial tool that enables readers to seek new knowledge and expand their understanding. In particular, reading for comprehension helps readers grasp the main ideas, key points, and events from a text. Additionally, analytical thinking is a fundamental skill that contributes to the development of higher-order thinking abilities. It allows individuals to discern facts and understand the underlying reasons behind occurrences. Based on these reasons, the researcher is interested in conducting this study with the following purposes; 1) compare the reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique before and after the lesson, 2) compare the analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique before and after the lesson, 3) compare the reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique after the lesson with a criterion of 70% and 4) compare the analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique after the lesson with a 70% criterion.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The sample group in this research consisted of 35 students from Grade 9 class 5, during the first semester of the academic year 2024. The sample group of students was from Phongsiriwittaya School, Dan Khun Thot District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The research instruments used included: 4 lesson plans of 4MAT with the 5W1H technique, totaling 12 hours, a reading comprehension test, and an analytical thinking test. Data was then analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The research findings showed that 1) The reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through 4MAT with 5W1H technique after the lesson was significantly higher than before the lesson at the .05 level of significance, 2) The analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through 4MAT with 5W1H technique after the lesson was significantly higher than before the lesson at the .05 level of significance, 3) The reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students who received 4MAT with 5W1H technique was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level of significance, and 4) The analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students who received the 4MAT with 5W1H technique was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level of significance.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The research findings indicate that the 4MAT with the 5W1H Technique enhances students' reading comprehension and analytical thinking skills. This is because students develop both the left and right hemispheres of their brains in a balanced manner. Additionally, they engage in both individual and group activities, which encourage them to construct knowledge independently through diverse learning activities, leading to a deeper understanding.</p>Supakrit MaphanaoSirirat Nakin
