Improving the quality of education in the 21st century requires a focus on active learning that promotes students’ analytical thinking and hands-on practice. This is especially important in Thai language instruction, which serves as the foundation for communication and learning in other subject areas. Therefore, teachers must possess the competency to effectively design and implement learner-centered activities. Educational supervision is a key mechanism in supporting the professional development of teachers, enabling them to deliver instruction appropriately and with quality.
This academic article presents concepts and approaches to educational supervision aimed at enhancing Thai language teachers’ competencies in active learning management. It emphasizes the development of teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitudes, enabling them to design and organize student-centered learning activities effectively. The core content of the article includes 1) Concepts of educational supervision 2) Concepts of teacher competency and 3) Concepts of active learning management. The knowledge derived from this article can be applied to improve teaching quality at various levels, including school-based development, educational service area offices, and academic communities. This is achieved through the "5P MODEL" framework, which consists of Analysis and preparation, Planning and knowledge building, Participatory supervision and monitoring, Application and reflection, andReporting and continuous development. This model can be used for internal school supervision planning, professional development workshops to enhance teachers' skills and attitudes across subjects, and the development of collaborative supervision networks. It also fosters a culture of professional learning communities within schools. Additionally, it serves as a foundation for policy formulation or national-level research initiatives to enhance teacher quality and support student learning achievement in the 21st century effectively and sustainably.
