The CEGGS school management model

Abstract

This research on a human value creating global citizenship-oriented school management model aimed to: (1) investigate the current and expected states of practices on human value creating global citizenship; (2) explore the solutions and development approaches for implementing such a concept, and (3) propose a suitable human value creating global citizenship-oriented school management model. The research applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches, using questionnaires, interviews, observations and focus group discussions. The sample population comprised 17 alternative private schools in Thailand. Participants were 211 school managers in charge of academic and student affairs, 192 teachers, and 146 sixth grade, ninth grade and twelfth grade students, randomly selected from each level of education, 549 in total. The findings revealed that the CEGGS management model consists of five key principles: (1) collaboration; (2) empathy; (3) generosity; (4) growth mindset, and (5) social justice, followed by five goals: (1) respect human value; (2) lead a life based on knowledge and wisdom; (3) encourage value creating dialectic critical thinking; (4) root the service mind and social justice, and (5) hold sufficiency and sustainability, plus four practical approaches for all the parties concerned to develop students to be human value creating global citizens who help sustain global peace.
