摘要

本研究探讨地理因素如何影响泰国巴吞他尼省教育行政人员的数位技能。数字技能评估框架由三个组成部分组成：能力、知识和经验，并使用验证性因素分析进行验证。来自7个地区的346名教育人员和219名学校教师的数据进行了分析。调查结果显示，受学生人数、学生密度和预算支持等因素的影响，各地区在数字技能方面存在显著差异。评估框架具有较强的信度和效度，所有模型拟合指标均满足可接受的阈值。这项研究提供了一个有效的工具来评估教育领导力中的数字能力，并确定了影响数字技能发展的关键地理因素。它强调需要有针对性的数字培训计划和公平的资源分配，以提高学校管理人员的数字熟练程度。这些见解可以为国家政策提供信息，并指导地区一级数字扫盲倡议的设计。

Relationship between geographical factors and digital skills development among school administrators: A case study of Pathum Thani Province, Thailand

This study investigates how geographical factors influence the digital skills of educational administrators in Thailand’s Pathum Thani province. A digital skills assessment framework, comprising three components: competency, knowledge, and experience, was developed and validated using confirmatory factor analysis. Data from 346 educational staff and 219 school teachers across seven districts were analyzed. The findings revealed significant district-level variation in digital skills, influenced by factors such as student population, student density, and budget support. The assessment framework demonstrated strong reliability and validity, with all model fit indices meeting accepted thresholds. This research contributes by providing a validated tool to assess digital proficiency in educational leadership and by identifying key geographical factors that shape digital skills development. It underscores the need for targeted digital training programs and equitable resource allocation to enhance digital proficiency among school administrators. These insights can inform national policies and guide the design of district-level digital literacy initiatives.

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
