THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT TO DEVELOP COMPETENCY IN USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LEARNING MANAGEMENT NAKHON INTERNATIONAL MUNICIPALITY SCHOOL, NAKHON SI THAMMARAT MUNICIPALITY NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PROVINCE

Abstract

     The objectives of this research were to evaluate the Project for Developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competencies in Instructional Management among teachers at Nakhon International Municipality School, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, based on the four levels of the Kirkpatrick Model: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, the sample group consisted of 52 teachers obtained through simple random sampling. The research instruments included a 5-point Likert scale satisfaction questionnaire, a pre- and post-test knowledge assessment, a behavioral observation form, and an in-depth interview guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using Mean (), Standard Deviation (S.D.), and t-test for dependent samples, while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.

The research findings revealed that:

1. Reaction: Teachers’ satisfaction with the project was at a high level, particularly regarding the curriculum content’s practicality for real-world professional application.


2. Learning: The post-development learning achievement (=18.08) was significantly higher than the pre-development score (=10.63) at the .05 statistical level, reflecting a substantial gain in AI-related knowledge and skills.


3. Behavior: The application of acquired knowledge in the classroom was at a high level, characterized by the proactive integration of AI tools to enhance instructional efficiency.


4. Results: The project yielded tangible outcomes, as evidenced by increased teacher self-confidence and a successful shift in roles towards becoming learning facilitators. These changes serve as crucial catalysts in transitioning the institution toward a "Smart School" model.
