Information System Management in the Digital Age by School Administrators in the Samoeng 3 Educational Quality Development Network Group Under the Chiang Mai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2

Abstract

             This research aimed to: 1) study the administration of information systems in the digital era among school administrators, and 2) examine guidelines for developing information system administration in the digital era among school administrators in the Samoeng 3 Educational Quality Development Network under the Chiang Mai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. The research population consisted of 7 school administrators and 98 teachers, totaling 105 participants. The researcher applied purposive selection criteria, including all individuals directly involved in student support system administration as key informants for addressing the research objectives. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean (μ), and standard deviation (σ). The findings were synthesized into descriptive narratives and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The overall reliability of the instrument was 0.982.
             The research findings revealed that:
             1. Information system management in the digital age by school administrators was overall at a high level. The dimension with the highest mean was Information Utilization, followed by Data Collection, Data Analysis, Data Verification, and Data Processing, respectively. The dimension with the lowest mean was Data Storage.
             2. Development guidelines indicated that: Administrators should establish integrated digital source systems via cloud platforms to reduce redundancy. There should be a collaborative data verification system with external agencies to ensure accuracy. Furthermore, management should focus on using information for strategic decision-making through real-time monitoring dashboards, while simultaneously managing digital infrastructure suitable for remote areas to sustainably enhance educational quality in the digital era.
