Abstract

Objectives of this research article were aimed to 1. Evaluate the progress of policy into practice research 2. Analyze basic characters of the research and 3.

This Mata-Analysis reviewed 6,429 quantitative research studies from the year 1994 to 2020 from the data bases of Thai LIS, Thai Journal Index, and universities in Thailand, by narrowing down to 95 research studies with Purposive Random Sampling Technique. The random criteria were composed of research quality evaluation form, basic characteristics analyzing form, and theirs IOC were between 0.67-1.00, while IOC of the whole instrument was 1.00. Effect size analyzing by Glass’s technique to measure the mean difference by effect size for One-way ANOVA.

Findings were found that 1. the 97.7 percent of the research were theses and independent studies, 63.15 percent of the research completed by state-run universities, 77.90 percent of the research belonged to educational administration programs, 80 percent of the research in accordance with SEAT Framework, 34 percent of the research were scored as a good level, while 62.21 percent of the whole research were rated as moderate level. 2) One-way ANOVA analyzing was found that the basic characters’ variables that affected the effect size with statistically significant level was the sample size variable had effect size at 0.05 statistically significant level. 3) from holistic analysys for knowledge acquisition from the policy into practices progress there were 4 models used-SEAT Framework, School-Based Management, PAOR, and PDCA
