Abstract

This research aims to 1) study the current situation and examine the list of aircraft mechanic education management of educational institutions under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission and, 2) develop and evaluate the manual for preparation for aircraft technician education according to the standards of The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand. The informants were 10 administrators, teachers and 18 experts. The research instruments consisted of 1) a semi-structured interview form, 2) a checklist form, and 3) the propriety evaluation form. Data analysis is the synthesis of content, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The research results were found as follows;
