Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the management and content of Thai educational administration academic journals. This research included six academic journals, comprising 127 issues and 2,157 articles published from their first issues until the year 2017. Research instruments consisted of an academic journal record sheet and educational administration content record sheet. Descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage, were used to analyze data.
The research findings were as follows. Most Thai educational administration journals were published quarterly and semi-annually during 2008-2012 by public/public autonomous universities. The main objective was to disseminate research and academic articles on educational administration and related fields. All of the academic journals were peer-reviewed, had an article writing template, and were available in print and online. Furthermore, the highest number of articles were written by three authors who were instructors holding doctoral degrees and affiliated with higher education institutes that published the journals. These research articles were mostly derived from the authors’ theses/dissertations in the field of educational administrators, leaders, and leadership, studying the educational fields. Most articles referenced Thai books. Considering each academic journal under the study, the Buabandit Journal of Educational Administration published the highest number of articles and had the largest number of authors. Journal of Educational Administration and Supervision, Mahasarakham University, was the only journal that had the majority of its articles focused on the administration of curriculum and teaching.
