Abstract

This research aimed to 1) examine the current state of educational administration towards excellence based on the PENTAPARTY model at Mahasarakham College of Agriculture and Technology. 2) Develop strategic guidelines for driving the institution toward excellence using the PENTAPARTY model. And, 3) evaluate the developed strategies. The study used document analysis and collected data from 100 participants, comprising administrators and instructors, via questionnaires. SWOT analysis was applied to draft strategic directions, followed by a workshop involving 13 key stakeholders. Strategy validation was conducted through expert connoisseurship with seven specialists. The developed strategies were then implemented at Khon Kaen College of Agriculture and Technology for confirmation. Finally, 23 experts evaluated the strategies in terms of suitability, utility, and feasibility. The results revealed that the current educational administration emphasized five key areas: development of learning resources and environment, educational personnel, student potential, cooperation with enterprises, and community participation, each exceeding 86% implementation. Thirteen strategies were formulated across these five areas. The trial implementation showed high success levels in achieving excellence and the highest satisfaction among participants. Administrators, teachers, students, enterprises, and communities showed significant improvements. The strategic evaluation found the highest level of consistency and utility, and a high level of appropriateness and feasibility. Overall, the strategic framework based on the PENTAPARTY model was effective in guiding institutional administration toward excellence in agricultural vocational education.
