Abstract
This research aimed to study opinions towards science teachers’ innovator competencies, current condition and essential needs in the development of an academic management model for developing science teachers’ innovator competencies. The population was 481 administrators, science subject heads, and science teachers of secondary schools in Nakhon Pathom Province under the Office of the Basic Education Commission in the 2023 academic year. The sample was 184 administrators, science subject heads, and science teachers. The instrument use was a 5-level rating scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed by means, standard deviations, and Priority Need Index Modified (PNImodified). The research results found that science teachers’ innovator competencies were at a high level in all 4 dimensions, from highest to lowest, as follows: 1) technological competence, 2) social competence, 3) educational competence, and 4) learning competence. Moreover, the current condition in the development of an academic management model for developing science teachers’ innovator competencies found both overall and in specific aspects were at a high level in all 4 dimensions, from highest to lowest, as follow: 1) learning assessment and evaluation, 2) development of innovations, media and learning resources, 3) learning management, and 4) curriculum development, respectively. For the essential need to develop academic management model for developing science teachers’ innovator competencies, the Priority Need Index Modified were as follows: curriculum development (PNImodified = 0.231), followed by learning management (PNImodified = 0.229), development of innovation, media and learning resources (PNImodified = 0.229), and measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes (PNImodified = 0.192), respectively. Therefore, school administrators should manage academic administration to develop academic management model for developing science teachers’ innovator competencies according to the necessary needs in these issues.
