Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the components and determine the weight of each component of classroom action research competency of teachers at Demonstration School. Under autonomous university, the sample group were teachers at a demonstration school. 600 people belonging to state-run higher education institutions in Thailand were obtained from stratified random sampling. Data were collected and compiled using questionnaires. which has the characteristics of a 5-level rating scale and analyzes the data using exploratory factor analysis. By extracting the main components and the obtained components were rotated on the orthogonal axis (Orthogonal Rotation) by rotating the axis orthogonally with each variable being independent of each other using the Varimax method. The results of the research found that a total of 40 variables studied were observed. Created 3 components, able to explain the variance in 35 observed variables at a high level, with a cumulative percentage of variance equal to 74.245. The results of this study reveal that Components of classroom action research competency for Demonstration School teachers include: Component 1 is Ability to do classroom action research (explains 41.266% of the variance), Component 2 is Innovative creativity characteristics in education (explains 17.104% of the variance), and component 3 is Ethics and characteristics of successful classroom action research (explains 15.875% of the variance) respectively.
