Abstract

This research aimed to 1) study the implementation of the student care and support system in schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office, 2) examine the factors affecting the student care and support system in these schools, and 3) develop a predictive equation for the factors influencing the student care and support system in schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office.The research findings revealed that: 1. The overall implementation of the student care and support system in schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office was at a high level. When considering each aspect, the highest average score was for student support, followed by individual student recognition, problem prevention and resolution, student screening, and referral. 2. The factors affecting the student care and support system in schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office were overall at a high level. The highest average score was for the advisory teacher factor, followed by supervision, support for operations, the vision of the administrators, and training and knowledge dissemination. 3. The advisory teacher factor, the administrators' vision, and supervision had a statistically significant joint influence on the implementation of the student care and support system at the .05 level. The advisory teacher factor had the highest influence, followed by the administrators' vision and supervision, respectively. The multiple correlation coefficient between these factors and the implementation of the student care and support system in schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office was 0.878. These factors could explain 77.20% of the variance in the implementation of the student care and support system.
