Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Vocational Education Administration, Vocational Qualification Framework, Educational Excellence, CompetencyAbstract
The administration of vocational education institutions in the digital economy era faces the critical challenge of producing human resources with competencies aligned with labor market demands. This article presents concepts, theories, and strategic approaches for applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive vocational education institutions towards excellence, guided by the Thai Vocational Qualification Framework (TVQF). AI’s role encompasses enhancing data management efficiency, analyzing and designing curricula to align with TVQF and future skills, creating personalized competency-based learning pathways, utilizing AI for accurate learning assessment and competency certification, supporting the development of educators as “competency coaches,” and strengthening collaboration with industry. Policy recommendations emphasize establishing a national AI master plan, developing data standards and a central platform, accelerating AI skill development for personnel, and fostering public-private-academic partnerships. Practical recommendations focus on creating institutional AI roadmaps, investing in infrastructure, selecting high-impact pilot projects, continuous staff development, and enhancing industry collaboration. Strategic and comprehensive AI implementation will enable vocational education institutions to produce high-quality graduates who meet national demands and serve as a vital force in driving the digital economy sustainably.
