Innovative Learning Management Model Based on the Four Iddhipada Principles for Personnel in Private Schools under the Office of Khon Kaen Provincial Education

Abstract

This study aimed to: (1) examine the current state, desired state, and priority needs of learning management innovators based on the Four Paths of Accomplishment (Iddhipāda 4) among personnel in private schools; (2) develop a learning management innovation model grounded in the Iddhipāda 4 principles; and (3) evaluate the proposed model. A mixed methods research design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative sample consisted of 226 participants, while 20 key informants were purposively selected for the qualitative component. Research instruments were developed and validated for content validity and reliability. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were examined through content analysis.
The findings revealed that:
1. The current state of learning management innovation based on the Iddhipāda 4 among private school personnel under the Khon Kaen Provincial Education Office was at a moderate level (x̅ = 3.34). Network building yielded the highest mean score, followed by technological knowledge, while risk management showed the lowest mean score. The desired state was at the highest level (x̅ = 4.68), with technological knowledge rated as the most important. The modified Priority Needs Index (PNI _modified) indicated that network building was the most urgent need, followed by technological knowledge, leadership, and risk management, respectively.
2. The developed learning management innovation model comprised four components: fostering instructional inspiration, goal setting and effective work practices, monitoring learning behaviors through technology, and systems thinking. The model integrates the Iddhipāda 4 principles Chanda (motivation and commitment), Viriya (perseverance and continuous development), Citta (attentiveness and reflective data use), and Vimamsa (reasoned inquiry and the application of technology, particularly artificial intelligence) to enhance the effectiveness of learning management.
3. The evaluation results indicated that the model was appropriate, feasible, and beneficial. It effectively enhanced network building, technological knowledge, leadership, and risk management, thereby supporting informed decision-making and improving the overall effectiveness of learning management.
