A MODEL FOR DEVELOPING CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE SKILLS FOR TEACHERS IN OPPORTUNITY EXPANSION SCHOOLS UNDER THE OFFICE OF THE BASIC EDUCATION COMMISSION

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) Study the components and guidelines for development, 2) Create and verify the model, 3) Implement the model, and 4) Evaluate the usefulness of the model. The study utilized a Research and Development (R&D) methodology consisting of four stages. Stage 1 involved studying the components and development guidelines through document synthesis, investigating schools with best practices, and interviewing experts. Stage 2 focused on creating and verifying the model via content analysis. Stage 3 involved implementing the model with a target group of 15 teachers selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included pre- and post-training knowledge tests, self-assessment forms, skill assessment forms, and satisfaction questionnaires. Data were analyzed using mean scores. Stage 4 evaluated the model's usefulness with 16 school administrators, heads of academic departments, and teachers, using mean scores for data analysis. The research findings revealed that: 1) The model for developing creativity and innovation skills consists of four components: principles, objectives, the development process, and development outcomes. 2) The developed model was evaluated as appropriate. 3) The implementation results showed that the teachers' knowledge and understanding after using the model ( = 19.47, S.D. = 2.76) were significantly higher than before using the model ( = 9.20, S.D. = 0.74) at the.05 statistical level. Furthermore, the teachers' self-assessment was at the highest level ( = 4.66, S.D. = 0.22), their skill assessment was at a high level ( = 4.50, S.D. = 0.33), and their overall satisfaction was at the highest level ( = 4.90, S.D. = 0.17). 4) The model's usefulness for teacher development and elevating student quality was rated at the highest level ( = 4.77, S.D. = 0.40).
