THE SUPERVISION OF LEARNING MANGEMENT MODEL TO ENHANCE STUDENT QUALITY BASED ON KALYANAMITTA DHAMMA VII PRINCIPLES AT SOMDET CHAOPAKO SCHOOL UNDER SONGKHLA PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE 1

Abstract

This research article aimed to: 1) examine the current state of instructional supervision for enhancing student quality at Somdet Chaopako School under the Songkhla Primary Educational Service Area Office 1; 2) develop an instructional supervision model based on the Kalyṇamitta-dhamma VII principles (Qualities of a good friend) appropriate to the school context; and 3) implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the developed model. A qualitative research design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 participants regarding the existing supervision practices, five experts involved in model development, and 15 stakeholders evaluating the model. The research instruments consisted of interview forms and a model evaluation form, and data were analyzed using mean scores.

The research findings revealed that: 1) The school’s instructional supervision consisted of four components—analysis of the current situation and needs, supervision planning, supervision implementation, and supervision evaluation and reporting. However, the system lacked structure and a clear supervision calendar, indicating the need for a continuous and systematic supervision process to improve student achievement. 2) The developed instructional supervision model based on the Kalyṇamitta-dhamma VII principles comprises five elements: objectives, fundamental theories, system and mechanisms, operational procedures, and conditions for implementation. The supervision process included four steps: analyzing the current situation and needs, planning, implementation, and evaluation and reporting. 3) The evaluation results indicate that the model is appropriate, feasible, and practically useful, and that it effectively facilitates the development of students’ quality.
