THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP MODEL OF INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SMALL SIZED PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHEAST

Abstract

The purpose of this research were to 1) study effectiveness of internal quality assurance operations in the small sized primary and causal factors chosen to study 2) examine the consistency of the causal relationship model of internal quality assurance operational effectiveness of the small sized primary schools developed to empirical data 3) to establish the guidelines for developing factors affecting the internal quality assurance operational effectiveness of the small sized primary schools. There were three phase of this research. Phase 1 was constructing the causal relationship model to study the causal factors and effectiveness of internal quality assurance operational. Phase 2 involved the validation of a causal relationship model with empirical data. Research population were the small sized primary schools in the Northeast 7,231 schools in the 2021 academic year. The subjects were drawn from 360 small primary schools under the OBEC in the 2021 academic year. The 720 respondents, including 360 school administrators and 360 teachers. Phase 3 finding guidelines for developing factors. Data analyzed by LISREL program. The findings were as follows: 1) effectiveness of internal quality assurance operational effectiveness of the small sized primary schools was high mean scores ranking. Causal factors chosen studied was high mean scores ranking. 2) The causal relationship model of effectiveness of small primary schools was consistent with the empirical data. And 3) The guidelines for developing factors the direct influence on the effectiveness of internal quality assurance operational of the small sized primary schools. School directors’ leadership factors should develop by training or develop using various innovations. The work environment factors should be developed, improved, to be safe and adequate enough. Personnel attribute factors should raise awareness for personnel to appreciate and importance of internal quality assurance operations, and organizational culture factors should encourage a culture of participation in work.
