Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the outcomes of the Excellence Development Project for Thai Music at Wat Peng Pradittharam School, employing a causal relationship matrix framework across two levels: Long-term Outcomes and Direct Outcomes. This evaluative study focused on a target population selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 24 students, 24 parents, and 7 service recipients. The research instruments consisted of data recording forms, skills assessment forms, and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis.
The research findings were as follows: 1) Long-term Outcomes: The project enabled students to leverage their musical skills to generate an average supplemental income of 225 THB per person. Furthermore, 66.66% of Grade 6 students successfully pursued further education through the Thai classical music excellence programs. For the school, it established a distinguished image as a conservator of Thai cultural heritage at the highest level, fostering a collaborative network of 13 agencies, organizing 14 community service activities, and securing 18 awards. Concerning parents and service recipients, they expressed the highest level of agreement concerning the project’s outcomes and operational quality. 2) Direct Outcomes: Regarding the students, it was found that all participants demonstrated proficiency in performing at least one Thai musical instrument and actively engaged in providing musical services to the community. Additionally, 45.83% of the students participated in formal competitions, reporting the highest level of agreement concerning their skill acquisition and positive attitudes. Regarding the community, the school provided Thai musical services a total of 14 times during the 2024 academic year. These findings serve as empirical evidence for enhancing project management and systematically promoting collaboration between the school and the community.
