Abstract

               The objectives of the research were (1) to investigate the current conditions, problems, and necessary needs of educational resource mobilization by school administrators under Loei Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, 2) Define strategies for mobilizing educational resources for school administrators, and 3) Evaluate the educational resource mobilization strategies of school administrators. The research methodology involves three phases. Phase 1: Study of current conditions, problems, and necessary needs. Step 1: Survey-based study involving a sample group of 319 individuals, including 24 school administrators and 295 teachers and educational personnel. By determining the sample size (Krejcie & Morgan) and utilizing stratified random sampling methods Step 2: In-depth interviews with a target group of 3 school administrators. Phase 2: Development of educational resource mobilization strategies. Group discussion with a target group of 9 qualified individuals using a group interview method. Phase 3: Evaluation of educational resource mobilization strategies. Assessment conducted by 5 experts using a modified evaluation tool. Statistical analysis includes frequency analysis, percentage calculation, mean, standard deviation, the PNI Modified value, and a qualitative content analysis. The research findings are summarized as follows: The current level of educational resource mobilization strategies in Loei Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 is generally at a moderate level (x̅ = 3.29, S.D. = 0.97). The desired level of strategies for mobilizing educational resources is overall high (x̅ = 3.64, S.D. = 0.85).The priority of necessary needs in mobilizing educational resources, as indicated by the PNI_Modified value, is ranked as follows: Funding or budget (PNI_Modified = 0.30), Human resources (PNI_Modified = 0.27), Land and buildings (PNI_Modified = 0.23), Materials, equipment, and technology (PNI_Modified = 0.21), Learning resources (PNI_Modified = 0.16). 2. The educational resource mobilization strategies for school administrators in Loei Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 comprise 1) Objectives for mobilizing educational resources in each area, 2) 15 strategies for mobilizing educational resources, 3) 38 implementation methods/measures, and 4) 38 success indicators. 3. The assessment of educational resource mobilization strategies for school administrators in Loei Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 indicated that Benefit dimension was totally at the highest level (x̅ = 4.84, S.D. = 0.36), followed by Suitability dimension (x̅ = 4.76, S.D. = 0.47), and Possibility dimension was totally at the lowest level (x̅ = 4.72, S.D. = 0.49).
