AN ACTIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR ENHANCING INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS IN THE RAJABHAT UNIVERSITY NETWORK

Abstract

This research article aimed to: 1) Investigate the components and indicators of active learning management for enhancing learning management skills among pre-service teachers in the Rajabhat University Network; 2) Assess the current conditions, desirable conditions, and priority needs of active learning management for enhancing learning management skills among pre-service teachers in the Rajabhat University Network; and 3) Develop an active learning management model for enhancing learning management skills among pre-service teachers in the Rajabhat University Network. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach. The sample consisted of 297 pre-service teachers from Surindra Rajabhat University selected through stratified random sampling, along with 17 experts. The research instruments included a component evaluation form, a five-point rating scale questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview form. The findings revealed that: 1) The active learning management framework consisted of five components with a total of 36 indicators, namely learning management activities, instructional media, learning support resources, academic and teaching activities, and participation. All components were consistent with empirical data and were considered appropriate for improving learning management practices; 2) The overall current condition of active learning management was at the highest level ( = 4.46, S.D. = 0.67), with participation receiving the highest mean score, while the overall desirable condition was also at the highest level ( = 4.65, S.D. = 0.55). The learning management activities component demonstrated the highest priority need and should be developed urgently; and 3) The developed active learning management model comprised five key components. The evaluation results indicated that the model was highly appropriate and feasible for implementation.
