Abstract

             This research aimed to study the current conditions and guidelines, develop, implement, and evaluate a school administration model based on the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy to promote students’ vocational skills. The study employed a Research and Development approach and was conducted in four phases. Phase 1 focused on investigating the current conditions, using a sample of 78 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire on current conditions with a reliability coefficient of .921. Phase 2 aimed to identify guidelines for model development. The informants consisted of 11 experts selected through purposive sampling, and data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Phase 3 involved the development of the administration model, with the population comprising 20 teachers at Bannangmud School. A questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of .870 was used. Phase 4 involved the implementation and evaluation of the model and was divided into three steps. Step 1 evaluated the appropriateness and feasibility of the model and its implementation manual, with the population consisting of 20 teachers at Bannangmud School. Step 2 assessed the effectiveness of the model using a sample of 142 participants. Step 3 evaluated satisfaction levels among teachers, the Basic Education Institution Committee, parents, and students, with a total sample of 220 participants. The instruments used in this phase were questionnaires with reliability coefficients ranging from .882 to .920. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
