Factors Affecting Implementation of Internal Quality Assurance at School under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office 33

Abstract

        The purposes of this research were to 1) Study the levels of factors affecting implementation of internal quality assurance at secondary educational service area office 33. 2) Study the levels of implementation of internal quality assurance at schools under the secondary educational service area office 33. 3) Study the relationships between factors affecting implementation of internal quality assurance in Leadership, Structure, Technology, Communication, Attraction and implementation of internal quality assurance at schools under the secondary educational service area office 33 and 4) Study the construction of prediction equations. The samples consisted of 458 administrators and teachers under the secondary educational service area office 33. They were acquired by Stratified random sampling method. The research instrument was the 86 item five - level rating scale questionnaire, with discrimination ranging from 0.20 to 0.93 and reliability of 0.97. The statistics used included percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis. 

        The findings revealed that:

        1. The levels of factors affecting implementation of internal quality assurance at school under the secondary educational service area office 33 as a whole and individual aspects were at the high level. 2. The levels of implementation of internal quality assurance at school under the secondary educational service area office 33 as a whole and individual aspects were at the high level. 3. The factors affecting implementation of internal quality assurance in Leadership, Structure, Technology, Communication, Attraction had positive relations to the implementation of internal quality assurance, at .01 level of satisfied significance. The correlation coefficients were .640, .628, .597, .666 and .706. 4. The variables used in predicting the factors affecting implementation of internal quality assurance at school under the secondary educational service area office 33 were the correlation coefficient =.778 at the satisfied significance level of .01, the coefficient of multiple correlation of determination (R2) = .605. The ability to determine was 60.00 % The prediction equations were shown as follows.
