Abstract:
To develop the casual model of success in sufficiency economy curriculum utilization of the basic school and to examine the goodness of fit of the model to the empirical data. The research sample consisted of 393 students from the 54 the basic schools which sufficient economy curriculum utilization. The research responders where school directors, teachers, students and parents. Variables consisted of 12 endogenous latent variables: the effectiveness of the internal success in sufficiency economy curriculum utilization of the basic school, factor of teacher motivation, factor of managerial policy, factor of teaching and learning management, factor of management, factor of follow-up stage, factor of sufficiency economy network and factor of student's characteristic and five exogenous latent variables: factor of teacher's knowledge and comprehension, factor of school director's knowledge and comprehension, factor of school director's characteristic, factor of school support and external unit support. These latent variables were measured by 33 observed variables. Data were collected by questionnaires and test having reliability for each variable ranging form .446-.944.The test having item difficulty from .222-.809 and having discrimination power from .200-.724. An analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson's product moment correlation, LISREL model analysis. The major findings were as follows: The variable having direct effect on the success in sufficiency economy curriculum utilization of the basic school, significantly at .01 level was the factor of sufficiency economy network and variable having both direct and indirect effects, significantly at .01: factor of school director's characteristic and factor of managerial policy. Among these variables, The factor of sufficiency economy network had the highest total effect. The effect of factor sufficiency economy was .175. The casual model was valid and fit to the empirical data. The model indicated that the Chi-square goodness of fit test was 207.432 (p = .047) df = 175, GFI = .971, AGFI = .906, and RMR = .020. The model could explain the variance in the factors of follow-up stage, next was managerial policy, management, teaching and learning management, management economy network teacher motivation, and success in sufficiency economy curriculum utilization about 99.0, 93.8, 84.6, 83.2, 73.5, 2.2 and 3.2 percent respectively.
