Description
Summary:博士 === 國立東華大學 === 教育與潛能開發學系 === 107 === The purpose of this research was aimed at the proposal for having a new Thai TVET QA system. Focus group discussion, interview, comparative Thai and German TVET QA system, the archival data were used with the implication of the IAD Framework as the theoretical reference to explore and investigate the phenomena and the problems of Thai TVET QA system. It was found that Thai TVET QA system by internal and external QA were in the form of the top-down “management” and the loose “monitoring” system including the diverse “interpretation” and the limited “communication”. The varied “interest” and the absence of the “influence” were also found. Those phenomena came the significant factors affecting TVET QA which were 1) changeability and transferability of people, 2) distance among the people, 3) diversity and disparity of assessment system and information, 4) limited communication, 5) varied interest, and 6) absent influence respectively. The research found those 6 factors affecting the success of TVET QA system and implementation. This research proposed the necessity for having more involvement at the policy bodies in a form of a “sub-committee” and the establishment of “institution or agency” to link between the colleges and the policy bodies. For external QA, it would be effective if the external assessment agencies would be established for networking and cooperation. In addition, there was the need for having a new TVET QA structure at the college by having the “department committee” responsible for QA at the department level.
