Abstract
This research article aimed to develop management strategies for collaborative networks to improve small schools under the Kalasin Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The study was conducted in two phases: (1) to examine the components, current conditions, desired conditions, and needs for collaboration. The key informants consisted of nine experts, while the sample group included 298 school administrators and teachers selected through stratified random sampling. In addition, nine key informants—comprising administrators, heads of academic affairs, and network chairpersons—were purposively selected to study the environmental context; and (2) to develop and validate the proposed management strategies. The key informants for this phase included nine experts, and another group of nine experts was purposively selected to assess the appropriateness and feasibility of the strategies. The research instruments consisted of (1) a questionnaire on the suitability of the components, (2) a questionnaire on current and desired conditions, (3) an interview form, (4) focus group discussion topics, and (5) a questionnaire on the propriety and feasibility of the strategies. The statistical methods employed were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the priority needs index.
The research findings revealed that the study of the components identified five key elements: (1) network members, (2) participation in network activities, (3) network communication and interaction, (4) leadership of network coordinators, and (5) evaluation of operational performance. Overall, these components were rated at a high level of propriety. The current conditions were found to be at a moderate level, while the desired conditions were at the highest level. The most critical need was the evaluation of operational performance. The development and validation of the management strategies resulted in six key elements: (2.1) vision, (2.2) mission, (2.3) goals, (2.4) strategic issues, (2.5) strategy implementation, and (2.6) strategy control. The developed strategies were evaluated as being of high propriety and feasibility.
