Guidelines For Developing Student Support Systems In The Digital Age Base On Sanghavatthu 4 Of Primary Schools Under Surin Primary Education

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) examine the current state of student support systems in the digital age, 2) develop guidelines for enhancing these systems based on the four principles of Sangahavatthu, and 3) evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed guidelines. The study involved 210 school administrators and teachers under the Surin Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, along with seven key informants. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires, interviews, and evaluation forms. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings indicated that the implementation of student support systems was at a high level, particularly in the area of student development and promotion. The proposed guidelines comprised five key components: 1) recognizing students individually through systematic and secure data collection; 2) screening students using standardized tools and digital platforms; 3) preventing and addressing problems through collaboration with local networks and expert consultations; 4) enhancing student development through diverse, context-appropriate activities; and 5) referring students via online systems that facilitated communication among involved agencies. The overall evaluation rated the guidelines as highly appropriate, especially in the areas of student screening, problem prevention and resolution, and student development.
