Abstract

The purposes of this study were to 1) study the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision in schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office, 2) examine the consistency of the structural model of the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision in the schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office with empirical data, and 3) study the management model to develop the effectiveness of internal supervision in schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office. The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved studying the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision and examining the consistency of the structural model of the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision with empirical data. The sample group comprised 160 primary schools, with a total of 480 participants. The instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, multiple regression analysis (MRA), path analysis, and structural equation model (SEM). The second phase involved studying a management model by using the affecting factor of the effectiveness of internal supervision, and based on the concept and principles of teamwork. The draft management model was validated through a focus group discussion with 10 experts and was then evaluated for its suitability and feasibility by 30 stakeholders. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The findings are as follows. 1) The factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision in the schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office included administrator factors: administrative support, supervisor factors: supervisor behaviors, media and tools, and supervisee factors: knowledge and understanding of supervision and attitude towards supervision. 2) The structural model of the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal supervision in the schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office was consistent with empirical data. 3) The management model to develop the effectiveness of internal supervision in the schools under Nakhon Pathom Primary Education Service Area Office was rated very highly appropriate and feasible for implementation.
