Study of Academic Administration Conditions and Guidelines for the Science Center School Primary Level, Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 1

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: (1) to examine the current state of academic management at the Science Palang-Sib Center Schools (Primary Level) under the Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, and (2) to explore guidelines for academic management within these center schools. The research findings indicated that the current state of academic management at the Science Palang-Sib Center Schools was at a "High" level in all aspects. The four key components were ranked by their mean scores as follows 1. Empirical supervision and monitoring to assess institutional potential (𝑥̅ = 4.44, SD = 0.57) 2.Training for administrators and teachers based on the Science Palang-Sib preparatory curriculum (𝑥̅ = 4.38, SD = 0.57) 3. Quality enhancement of Science, Mathematics, and Technology (SMT) instruction (𝑥̅ = 4.35, SD = 0.56) 4. Academic promotion and support aligned with the center school’s roles (𝑥̅ = 4.28, SD = 0.54) Regarding the guidelines for academic management, the results reflected that while the schools possess the readiness and potential to drive the Science Palang-Sib initiative, certain areas require further development. Recommendations include strengthening the continuity of internal supervision, developing learning materials aligned with student competencies, and focusing on continuous personnel development. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the importance of building academic cooperation networks and utilizing empirical data for decision-making to drive sustainable educational quality.
