Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the current status and problems, establish development guidelines for the management of learner development activities in the Mae Sot–Tha Sai Luat School Group under Tak Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. The population comprised 176 school administrators and teachers from the Mae Sot–Tha Sai Luat School Group, together with 9 experts. data were collected using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that the overall implementation of student development activity management within the school group was at the highest level.  When considered by dimension, the Learner Development Activities dimension achieved the highest mean score. Regarding management problems, the most frequently reported issues were found in the guidance activities dimension, particularly in coordinating collaborative activities with external agencies and organizing activities that promote students' self-awareness and self-understanding. To address these issues, the proposed development guidelines recommend that school administrators establish Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with local private-sector organizations and local administrative organizations to mobilize additional non-budgetary resources. Furthermore, administrators should support the development of an electronic guidance media repository that integrates personality assessments and video interviews featuring local occupations. The evaluation of the proposed development guidelines indicated that both their feasibility and appropriateness were at a high level.
