Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the state of moral teaching management in basic education schools under Buddhist universities and to present a model of moral education management in those basic education institutions. The research employed the mixed methods research. The research instruments included the questionnaires for the school administrators, officials and the Buddhist monk teachers, totaling 385 people and the interviews with 9 experts. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics which included percentage, average, standard deviation and content analysis.

         The findings were as the following;

1. 1. The management of moral education in basic education institutions of the Buddhist universities was found to be at the high level across the 8 aspects. corporate communication, operation, implementation, inspection and revision were practiced at the high level. analysis, planning and control were the dimensions practiced at the moderate level. In terms of management problems, both the overall and the individual aspects were found to be at the moderate level.
2. The management model of moral instruction in basic education schools consists of: (1) the concept of the eightfold path as a management guideline, known as the 8-r model management system, (2) the management system includes analysis, planning, corporate communications, operation, follow-up and monitoring, revision, control and reporting, (3) the management system formats are combined with the environment of moral teaching, the management factors include human resources, budget, academic work and general administration; the operational procedure starts from the request for a budget, human resource preparation, recruitment and development of the moral teaching monks, dispatching the monks to teach in schools, performance monitoring and evaluation, and writing up performance reports. (4) the advantages of a management model are the creation of moral organizations, consistent with non-profit social organizations, which would empower the management of education. (5) the limitations of the management model are the potential resistance from non-transparent personnel, responsibility of the personnel, and the amount of workload and responsibilities at the initial stage. (6) the success factors of the model include the need to transfer the management process to personnel at every level, collaboration in various areas, and the need for network development.
