DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPERVISION MODEL TO ENHANCE ACTIVE LEARNING CAPACITY USING A GUIDANCE AND MENTORING PROCESS FOR TEACHERS IN THE NAKHON PHANOM PRIMARY EDUCATION SERVICE AREA OFFICE 2

Abstract

The purpose of this research and development is to1) Study the background information and essential needs for developing a supervision model to enhance active learning management competencies through a coaching and mentoring process, 2) Develop and validate the quality of the supervision model and conduct a pilot feasibility study with eight non-target teachers before actual implementation, 3) Implement the supervision model with a target group of 30 volunteer teachers and evaluate their active learning management competencies against the 80 percent criterion, and 4) Evaluate the supervision model in terms of input factors, processes, and outputs. The research instruments consisted of 1) A teacher opinion questionnaire, 2) The supervision model and its implementation manual, 3) An active learning management competency assessment form, and 4) A teacher opinion evaluation form regarding the model. Data analysis employed mean, standard deviation, and a one-sample t-test against the criterion. The results revealed that 1) The current overall level of active learning management competencies in knowledge, skills, and attributes was moderate, while the expected level in all three aspects was high, 2) The developed supervision model comprised six components: objectives, 11 competencies, structure, development guidelines, resources, and assessment and evaluation, with a high level of appropriateness, 3) After participating in the supervision activities, teachers' competencies were significantly higher than the 80 percent criterion at the .01 level, and 4) Teachers' overall opinions on the model in terms of input factors, processes, and outputs were at a high level ( = 4.25, S.D. = 0.44).
