A DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODEL OF INTERNAL SUPERVISION TO ENHANCE 21ST CENTURY LEARNER SKILLS FOR SCHOOLS UNDER THE NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE 3

Abstract

This research aims to 1) Study the current state, desired state, and necessary needs of internal supervision to promote 21st-century learner skills; 2) Develop a model of internal supervision to promote 21st-century learner skills; and 3) Verify the internal supervision model to promote
21st-century learner skills in schools under the Nakhon Si Thammarat Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. This research employed a mixed-methods approach consisting of three phases: Phase 1 involved studying the current state, desired state, and necessary needs. The sample group consisted of administrators and teachers, with three school administrators providing information. Data was collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The questionnaire had a reliability coefficient of 0.918. Content analysis, mean, standard deviation, and needs analysis were used to analyze the data. Phase 2 involved developing an internal supervision model using nine participants through content analysis. Phase 3 involved verifying the model through focus group discussions with nine participants, also through content analysis. The research findings revealed that 1) The current state of internal supervision and learner skills were at a moderate level, while the desired state was at a high to very high level. 1) The required internal supervision score was 0.39 and the learner skills score was 0.46. 2) The developed internal supervision model consists of six parts: model name, principles, objectives, a five-step supervision process (situation study, planning, implementation, evaluation, improvement /development), evaluation guidelines, and conditions for success. 3) Expert review of the model revealed that it was highly accurate, appropriate, feasible, and beneficial.
