Abstract
Thai demonstration schools, acknowledged as centers for educational research and innovation, are ideally situated to lead innovative methods in education. However, a significant concern occurs when evaluating their existing offerings: a notable gap is evident in the incorporation of global citizenship education. This research intended to examine the priority need of academic management of demonstration schools for enhancing future global citizenship competencies. The key informants consisted of 43 demonstration schools. The key informant in each school includes a director, deputy directors, head of the subject department, there are 395 key informants in total. The sampling methods are multi-stage sampling, purposive sampling, and stratified sampling. Data was obtained using a questionnaire instrument focusing on the priority needs in developing school academic management for enhancing future global citizenship competencies of demonstration schools and analyzed by determining frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and priority needs index. The research revealed that curriculum design was the most critical requirement in the academic management of demonstration schools to enhance the competencies of future global citizens. This is especially crucial in the context of identifying learning objectives and outcomes that will improve global awareness and engagement. The assessment was the second priority in the academic management of the demonstration school to improve future global citizenship competencies. This requirement is especially related in the context of promoting multicultural awareness and comprehension by disseminating precise and significant information. In order to enhance future global citizenship competencies, the academic management of the demonstration school required the third priority of teaching and learning. This requirement is especially critical when establishing an environment that fosters multicultural awareness and comprehension.
