Abstract

 The objectives of this study were to 1) develop  examine a learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building model for teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality. 2) examine a learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building model for teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality. The study was conducted in 2 phases. The first phase was the development of a learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building model for teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality, which comprised the following process: (1) the study of relevant concepts, theories, documents and researches and (2) the deliberation on the draft model by 5 experts. The second phase was the appropriateness examination of the developed model. The sample group consisted of 108 school directors and teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality in the academic year B.E. 2560, selected through disproportionate stratified random sampling. The tool of choice in data collection was a 5-level rating scale questionnaire with IOC between 0.80 - 1.00, discrimination value between 0.23 - 0.85 and overall reliability value at 0.97. Statistics implemented in data analysis were mean and standard deviation.

        The findings were as follows: 1) The developed learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building model for teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality comprises 4 factors, which are (1) factors contributing to the success of capacity building (1.1) such as support from original affiliation (1.2) school director leadership (1.3) readiness and determination in self-development of teachers (1.4) school director supervision and (1.5)lecturer expertise. (2) scope of learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity, which consists of 3 aspects namely (2.1) authentic measurement and evaluation (2.2) the implementation of measurement and evaluation results for learning management and curriculum improvement and (2.3) the building and quality defining of learning outcomes measurement tools; 3) capacity building process on measurement and evaluation, comprises 4 steps namely (3.1) need assessment (3.2) planning and goal setting (3.3) capacity building operation, which could be further classified into capacity building by organization and self-capacity building and (3.4) evaluation; (4) the result of learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building, which consists of (4.1) teachers' understanding in learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation (4.2) teachers' skills in learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building and (4.3) teachers' positive attitude towards learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building. 2) The developed learning outcomes of measurement and evaluation capacity building model for teachers in schools under Sakon Nakhon City Municipality has an overall appropriateness at a high level ( = 4.28, S.D. = 0.45).
