A MODEL FOR MANAGING EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION IN SCHOOLS UNDER THE OFFICE OF THE BASIC EDUCATION COMMISSION

Abstract

This research aims to 1. Study the components and approaches for  managing educational administration innovation in schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission 2. Create and verify the model for managing innoations and 3. Evaluate the feasibility and benefits of the innovation management model. Qualitative research methodology using three-step reseach and development approach: Step 1: Study the components of innovation management susing ynthesis of documents, study of innovation management guidelines through interviews with experts, study of innovation management practices from schools with best practices. Step 2: Create and validate the innovation management model by drafting the innovation management model, and validating the appropriateness of the model through focus group discussions. Step 3: Feasibility evaluation by school administrators from six provinces, selected through stratified random sampling, five schools per province. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation.

          The findings revealed that the model for managing educational administration innovation in schools consists of five components: Objectives are: 1.1) Define guidelines for innovation management 1.2) Create and develop innovations 1.3) Enhance students' learning achievements.
