ADMINISTRATIVE FACTORS AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAI LANGUAGE TEACHER THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY PROCESS (PLC) TO DEVELOP STUDENTS’ LITERACY

Abstract

The objective of this research article was to 1) study the level of administrative factors affecting the development of Thai language teacher through professional learning community process (PLC) to develop students’ literacy 2) study the level of project implementation and 3) study the power to predict of administrative factors affecting of project implementation. This research was a quantitative research. The sample group for this research by collecting the data from who are responsible for this project, school administrators and Thai language teachers. The total number of samples was 103 people, using the criteria of 70%, there were selected by stratified random sampling. The instruments were 2 sets of questionnaire. 1) A questionnaire on the project administrative factors. 2) A questionnaire on the project implementation. The statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The findings were as follows 1) The level of administrative factors affecting the development of Thai language teacher through professional learning community process (PLC) to develop students’ literacy was at a high level. 2) The level of project implementation was at a high level, the highest mean was the aspect of the school administrators and the lowest mean was the aspect of the educational innovation. 3) The power to predict of administrative factors affecting of project implementation there were 3 factors, educational innovation (X7), teachers (X3) and teachers in charge of the project (X1) could mutually predict the implementation in significant level of .01 and the power of prediction was 95 percent (R² = .95). The predictive equation could be constructed in raw score and standardized score were as follows: Equation of raw score: Y’ = .38X₇+.34X₃+.24X₁ Equation of standard score: Zy’ = .41X₃+.40X₇+.24X₁
