Abstract:
The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the current condition, desirable conditions, and needs of the administration of Phrapariyattidhamma Schools, General Education, Area 7; 2) to develop an administrative model according to the Seven Sappurisadhamma of Phrapariyattidhamma Schools, General Education, Area 7; 3) to assess the administrative model as mentioned.

The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire, a semi-structured interview form, and the models suitability, feasibility, and usefulness assessment form. The sample group consisted of 175 school administrators and teachers in quantitative research. The statistics used were: Frequency, Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation. The current condition had a reliability value of 0.911; a desirable condition had a reliability value of 0.965. In qualitative research, the group of informants was: (1) five experts purposively selected to check the consistency or accuracy of the content; (2) five experts purposively selected for the structured interviews; (3) nine experts purposively selected for Focus Group Discussion; (4) six experts and stakeholders of three Phrapariyattidhamma Schools excellent performance (one administrator, five teachers, a total of 24), selected to assess the models suitability, feasibility, and usefulness in the dissertation critiques to find the conclusion of the research.
