Guidelines for Application Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Learning Management in Schools under the Sukhothai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to study the current state of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning management, and 2) to establish guidelines for applying AI in learning management in schools under the Sukhothai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involved studying the current state of AI application in schools. The sample consisted of 302 teachers under the Sukhothai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, with the sample size determined by Krejcie & Morgan’s table. The research instrument was a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, and data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Phase 2 focused on establishing guidelines for AI application through interviews with 5 experts selected via purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using content analysis. The results revealed that: 1) The overall current state of applying AI in learning management in schools under the Sukhothai Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 was at a high level. When considering individual aspects, the highest mean was found in Teacher and Personnel Development, while the lowest mean was in School Management through AI. 2) The guidelines for applying AI in learning management across four aspects indicated that: School Management should be driven by "Smart Management" policies through the provision of digital infrastructure and integrated database systems to connect all data dimensions; Teacher and Personnel Development should focus on budget allocation for practical workshops tailored to individual skill levels, combined with Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and systematic supervision; Innovation and Instructional Media should be supported by providing budgets for AI platform accounts, enabling teachers to integrate AI into lesson plans; and Challenges and Considerations should be addressed by promoting correct understanding through established guidelines and ethical AI usage standards.
