The Relationship between Administrators Digital Leadership and the Effectiveness of the Student Assistance System Management in Large or Extra-Large Schools under the Regional Education Office 11
Abstract:
This research aimed to examine, compare, and determine the relationship, and establish guidelines for developing administrators digital leadership that correlated with the effectiveness of student assistance system management in large or extra-large schools under the Regional Educational Office 11. The sample consisted of 323 participants, including school directors, deputy directors for general administration departments, teachers responsible for the student assistance system, and homeroom teachers in the 2024 academic year. The sample size was determined using Krejci and Morgan's table and selected through multi-stage random sampling. The data collection tools comprised sets of 5-level rating scale questionnaires and interview forms. One set of questionnaires assessed the administrators digital leadership, with the discriminative power ranging from 0.32 to 0.81 and the reliability of 0.83. Another questionnaire measured the effectiveness of the student assistance system management, with the discriminative power ranging from 0.33 to 0.69 and the reliability of 0.94. Statistics for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient.
The findings were as follows.
1. The administrators digital leadership was overall at a high level.
2. The effectiveness of the student assistance system management was overall at the highest level.
3. The administrators digital leadership, classified by participants positions, school locations province, and work experience, overall and in each aspect, showed no differences.
4. The effectiveness of the student assistance system management, classified by participants positions and work experience, overall and in each aspect, showed no differences. Regarding school location province, the differences were observed overall at the .01 level of significance.
5. The administrators digital leadership and the effectiveness of student assistance system management showed a positive relationship with a low level (rXtYt = .247) at the .01 level of significance.
6. The guidelines for developing administrators digital leadership and the effectiveness of student assistance system management were revealed:
6.1 Digital Leadership comprised three aspects: 1) Digital Vision, administrators must formulate policies, visions, and strategies; 2) Ability in Digital Utilization, administrators should engage in self-development to gain expertise in digital technology; and 3) Digital Communication, administrators should use digital media for communication.
