Abstract

This research aimed to 1) Study the necessary background information for developing a learning management model, 2) Develop a learning management model, 3) Pilot test the learning management model, and 4) Evaluate the learning management model. The target group was 14 teachers from Ban Mab Krapao School. The tools used included an assessment form for active learning management competencies and a satisfaction survey. The statistical methods used were mean, standard deviation, content analysis, and descriptive data analysis. The research findings showed that: 1) The background information study identified five components: principles, objectives, process, measurement, and conditions of use, focusing on developing teachers' competencies in designing collaborative learning and interdisciplinary integration to create educational innovations through professional learning communities and systematic collaborative lesson development. 2) The developed learning management model had components in terms of principles, objectives, operational process, measurement and evaluation, and conditions of application that were overall highly appropriate ( = 4.73, S.D. = 0.21). 3) The pilot test of the model showed that teachers' ability to design and write active learning lesson plans was at the highest level overall, and their ability to conduct active learning activities was at an excellent level. A key highlight is that the school was able to build a strong organizational learning culture through the integration of monthly meetings with ongoing professional learning community activities. and 4) The overall evaluation of the development model was at the highest level ( = 4.84, S.D. = 0.07), with the highest opinion scores in the input and process aspects ( = 4.85, S.D. = 0.06), followed by the output aspect ( = 4.82, S.D. = 0.09).
