PROJECT STUDY ON THE EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT MODEL OF KLEDKAEW BILINGUAL SCHOOL

Abstract

This study arises from the need to enhance the educational management of Kledkaew Bilingual School, located in a special economic zone that is experiencing rapid economic growth, particularly in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The region requires an educational system capable of developing students’ skills and knowledge in alignment with economic and social changes. Consequently, this research aims to develop an effective and standardized management model that improves both student and staff quality, while also serving as a prototype that can be applied to other schools within similar special zones. The objectives of this study are: 1) to analyze the context and actual conditions of Kledkaew Bilingual School’s management, providing a foundation for developing a standardized management model; 2) to establish guidelines for enhancing student quality and curriculum, promoting students’ potential based on their individual abilities; and 3) to develop strategies for improving teachers’ and staff capabilities in teaching, supervision, and evaluation. The research employed qualitative methods, including content analysis and descriptive writing. The findings indicate that the developed management model is effective and meets international standards. It encompasses objectives, concepts, principles, context, factors, processes, quality, and success conditions. The administrative structure is divided into four areas: Academic Affairs, Budget Management, Personnel Management, and General Administration. The educational program follows a Bilingual Program for children aged 3-6 years, focusing on balanced development in physical, emotional, mental, social, and intellectual aspects, through instruction in both Thai and English. The internal supervision process comprises six steps: problem identification, planning, preparation, implementation, evaluation, and reporting. Quality assurance is conducted in accordance with the 2018 Ministry of Education regulations, covering three main standards: child quality, management processes, and child-centered experiential learning.  In summary, the school’s management model is clear and effective, supporting systematic curriculum development and supervision to ensure the highest standards of educational management.
