Abstract

This article analyzes the educational management model of the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC), which adheres to the standards of the United States. The objective is to apply the results of this analysis to enhance the instructional process in military curricula focusing on joint operations within the Royal Thai Armed Forces, aiming for greater efficiency and effectiveness. The study emphasizes Outcomes-based Education (OBE), the ADDIE Model for curriculum development, the Annual Curriculum Review Process, and Bloom's Taxonomy. This analysis is beneficial for improving instructional processes, defining clear learning outcomes, and ensuring accurate assessment and evaluation. Ultimately, it contributes to producing high-quality and highly capable personnel to serve as military leaders in the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
