The objective of this study is to investigate the influences of moral, emotional and adversity quotient on good citizenship of Rajabhat University's students in Northeastern Region of Thailand. The samples included 1,087 undergraduate students from 8 different Rajabhat universities. Data analysis was conducted in descriptive statistics and structural equation model. The results revealed that the adversity quotient and moral quotient had a positive direct effect on good citizenship with the significance level of .01 while emotional quotient had a negative direct effect on good citizenship with the significance level of .05. The structural equation model fitted well with the empirical data indicating the chi-square167.784, df = 119, p-value = 0.0022, RMSEA = 0.019, SRMR = 0.022, chi-square/df = 1.409 R 2 = 0.559.
This research is aimed to study the direct, indirect and total influence of strategic leadership factors of school administrators influencing the effectiveness of small-sized schools. The samples were 1,396 administrators of small-sized schools under the primary educational service area office, the Basic Education Commission in the academic year 2017. The population was 15,999 small-sized school administrators who are administrating in small-sized schools under the primary educational service area office of the Basic Education Commission of Thailand. The research was conducted in the same academic year. It was found that Setting Organizational Direction (SETTD) had direct influence, an indirect influence, and a total influence on the effectiveness of most small-sized schools. In addition, strategy formulation (STRAT) had an indirect influence higher than the strategy implementation with the influence value of 0.044. The strategic control and evaluation (EVALU) had a direct influence and a total influence on the effectiveness of small-sized school with the influence value of 0.046. The model for developing the strategic leadership of school administrators of small-sized schools was obtained.
This study aimed at auditing the quality of inspirational test in learning situational science for junior high school students using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Mixed methodology was used in this study. The sample was divided into 2 groups: (1) qualitative sample of 9 experts who were lecturers in the Department of Educational Psychology, educators or scientific experts who possess published academic work, and experts in religion, and sample of 6 students in Princess Chulabhorn's College Buriram and (2) quantitative sample of 2 student groups, that is, 450 students for Exploratory Factor Analysis and 709 students for Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results can be presented based on 3 steps. In step 1, employing quantitative methodology to synthesize literature and related research, 6 factors and 30 indicators were found. Then the outline obtained from the synthesis was applied to in-depth interview with the experts and the students, and the result showed that there were 6 factors and 30 indicators. In step 2, the result obtained from the Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed that there were 6 factors found in the inspirational test, that is, (1) intrinsic motivation, (2) positive effect, (3) confidence, (4) creativity, (5) commitment, and (6) faith. In step 3, the result gained from the Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated that the model showed its construct validity according to consideration of statistical validity test (e.g. = 368.876, df = 339, p-value = 0.1270, CFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.988, RMSEA = 0.011, SRMR = 0.026, and /df = 1.088). The standardized factor loading of measurement model of all indicators showed statistical significance of 0.05.
