Models of Academic Administration Based on Good Governance Principles in Educational Institutions Under the Ranong Primary Educational Service Area Office

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) examine the current conditions of academic administration based on good governance principles in basic education institutions under the Ranong Primary Educational Service Area Office; (2) develop an academic administration model grounded in good governance; and (3) evaluate the appropriateness and feasibility of the developed model. The sample consisted of 260 teachers and school administrators selected through simple random sampling following Krejcie and Morgan’s table.
A questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of .96 was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that the overall academic administration in basic education institutions was rated at a high level.
The highest-performing areas included assessment and evaluation, instructional media and technology development, curriculum development, learning management, and internal quality assurance systems. These results indicate that school administrators implemented transparent and accountable practices that prioritized learners’ benefits.

              The developed good-governance-based academic administration model comprised five key components: (1) assessment and evaluation aligned with learning standards; (2) instructional media and educational technology development; (3) curriculum development through participatory and research-based processes; (4) learner-centered instructional management; and (5) internal quality assurance aligned with national education standards. Expert evaluation confirmed that the model demonstrated high appropriateness and validity across core good governance principles—transparency, accountability, participation, cost-effectiveness, and rule of law. The model was deemed feasible for practical implementation and capable of enhancing the overall effectiveness of academic administration in basic education institutions.
