A MODEL OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATION OF THE SMALL SIZE PRIMARY SCHOOL IN THE SOUTHERN PROVINCE CLUSTER OF ANDAMAN

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to  create and  auditing a  model  of  academic  affairs  administration  of  the  small  size  primary  schools  in  the  southern  province  cluster  of  Andaman.  The methodology of the study comprised  three steps; 1) study and analyze research papers  and  interview  the small  school directors that have  a best  practice  related to academic administration of  the  small  size  primary  schools  2) create of the model  of academic  affairs  administration  of  the  small  size  primary  schools  in  the  southern  province  cluster  of  Andaman  by using Delphi technique from 17 panel experts ; and 3) checking the model  of  academic  affairs  administration  of  the  small  size  primary  schools  in  the  southern  province  cluster  of  Andaman  by using focus group discussion by the directors of  the  small  size  primary  schools  in  the  southern  province  cluster  of  Andaman from 12  panels. The statistical devices used for analyzing the data were percentage, median, and interquartile range.

A model of  academic  affairs  administration  of  the  small  size  primary schools  in  the  southern  province  cluster  of  Andaman  divided into   six steps, they were:1)  target identification consisted of 10 elements, 2) making a strategic plan  consisted of 11 elements, 3)  compliance with the strategic plan  consisted of  8 elements, 4)  promotion  and  supervision consisted of 8 elements, 5) checking  and  evaluation  consisted of  8 elements,  and 6) reflection  and applying  result consisted of 8 elements. Each of the 6 elements has the appropriate opinion  more than 50 percent of all elements, the high median level is between 3.50 - 4.00  are 3 elements. Highest level that is the value is greater than 4.00 are  50  elements The interquartile range value is less than 1.50  all  of  elements  and The results of the examination of the appropriateness and feasibility of the academic administration model of small primary schools in the southern province of the Andaman coast are appropriate to be able to implement in 6 aspects, 53 elements which are consistent opinion values appropriate more than 50 percent of all elements, the highest median level Is greater than 4.00 are 53 elements, interquartile range is less than 1.50  all  of  elements.
