Development of The Education Institute Administration Model For High Performance Vocational Manpower According to Professional Standard at Samutprakan Technical College

Abstract

This research aims to develop a school administration model for producing and enhancing highly competent vocational education personnel in accordance with professional standards at Samut Prakan Technical College. It also seeks to examine stakeholder opinions toward the proposed model. The results are intended to support educational management, strengthen teaching and learning processes, and assist administrators, teachers, and educational personnel in promoting competence-based professional learning aligned with institutional standards.

The research process began with an analysis of the existing ecosystem and management practices within vocational education institutions. From this analysis, a school administration model was synthesized to guide the production and development of highly competent vocational graduates. The model was implemented by administrators across three core areas: (1) management of theoretical classrooms, (2) management of training workshops and laboratories, and (3) management of enterprises. To evaluate stakeholder perceptions, a five-point Likert scale questionnaire was developed. Purposive sampling was used to select 31 respondents from five vocational institutions and five enterprises, including directors, deputy directors, curriculum development heads, department heads, service center managers, and in-company trainers. Data were collected by the researcher, verified for completeness, and analyzed using mean and standard deviation.

The findings showed that stakeholders strongly agreed with the school administration model for producing and developing highly competent vocational education personnel. The high level of agreement confirms that the proposed model is practical, relevant, and suitable for guiding the effective management of vocational education institutions, contributing to enhanced personnel competency development in alignment with professional standards.
