The Use of Information Technology in School Administration of Educational Institutions under Sisaket Primary Educational Service Area Office 3

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the use of information technology in school administration of educational institutions under the Sisaket Primary Educational Service Area Office 3; 2) to compare the use of information technology in school administration based on the opinions of personnel classified by position, duty, work experience, and school size; and 3) to study recommendations for the use of information technology in school administration of institutions under the Sisaket Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. The sample consisted of 327 administrators, teachers, and personnel. The research instrument was a five-level rating scale questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of .98. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffé’s method. The research findings were as follows: 1) The overall use of information technology in school administration, including each specific aspect, was at a high level. 2) There were no significant differences in opinions regarding the use of information technology based on position or work experience, whereas differences based on school size were statistically significant at the .01 level. 3) The most important recommendation was that school administrators should assign teachers responsible for budgeting to develop an online information system. This system should include accounting, finance, and supply management to ensure transparency, traceability, and effective evaluation.
