Abstract

The objective of this research was twofold: 1. to study school management practices based on cannabis-related guidelines in educational institutions under the Central Secondary Educational Service Area Office, 2. to develop a school management model in alignment with these guidelines, and 3. to evaluate a school management model. The sample consisted of 29 schools under the Nakhon Pathom Secondary Educational Service Area Office. There were 10 informants per school, including the director, deputy director, and teachers, for a total of 290 informants. The research instruments were questionnaires, interviews, and formative assessments. There were 268 questionnaires, representing 92.41 percent, with a consistency index of 0.67-1.00, a reliability index of the entire questionnaire of 0.968, and a discrimination index of the questions of 0.965-0.970. Statistical methods used in the analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), content analysis of interview data, and expert evaluations conducted by a panel of 12 specialists. The research findings revealed the following: 1. The school management approach based on cannabis-related guidelines comprised a total of 28 variables, which were grouped into four principal components: improvement, implementation, cooperation, and determination of measures. 2. The developed school management model consisted of four sequential stages: measure formulation, collaboration, execution, and enhancement. 3. The overall evaluation results of the suitability and feasibility of the model were at the highest level.
