Abstract:
The objectives of this research were: to study the problematic condition of learning management; to develop the model of learning management; to study the results of using the model; to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning management model in the 21st century in the learning area of social studies, religion and culture of schools under the Mueang Sukhothai Municipality. The target group used in the research were school administrators and teachers who teach the subjects learning social studies, religion, and culture in schools under the Mueang Sukhothai Municipality. There was a focus group discussion of experts in consistency with R&D research methodology. The research instruments were a semi-structured interview form. Data were analyzed by comparing methodological skills between pre-experiment and post-experiment using mean, standard deviation, and t-test (dependent and independent).
The research results were as follows:
1) The problematic condition of learning management in the 21st century in the learning area of social studies, religion, and culture of schools under the Mueang Sukhothai Municipality was that (1) students did not concentrate on their studies. Learners did not read books and cannot remember what they have read. (2) Teachers did not see the importance and do not have expertise in innovation and information technology.

(4) Conditions for measuring and evaluating student skills were different. (5) There was a lack of a policy to promote student development activities, a lack of variety, and a lack of integration between cognitive and mental development.
2) The results of the development of the learning management model in the 21st century suggested that (1) There is a change in the learning culture, focusing on the benefits that the learners will receive and cultivating learners to seek knowledge by themselves. (2) all stakeholders should jointly study, plan, and apply the policy framework at the ministry level to determine visions, objectives, policies, and standards. (3) Knowledge is promoted to be able to use information technology for teaching and learning. (4) A variety of measurement and evaluation techniques should be used and developed. (5) Activities that are clear, concrete, and cover all learners should be organized. There are activities for students to develop themselves in all aspects.
3) The results of using the model revealed that the learners received learning management based on the model to enhance teaching competency in the learning area of social studies religion and culture. There were the use of media and technology, various measurements, and evaluations in organizing student development activities with correctness, suitability, usefulness, and high feasibility.
4) From the results of the evaluation, the effectiveness of the model was statistically at a very good level in all studied aspects, accounted for 88.60% significantly higher than the 80% criterion with statistical significance level of 0.05.
