บทคัดย่อ

This study aimed to assess the needs of academic management of secondary schools based on the concept of intercultural competence (IC). This study used a population of 19 public secondary schools implementing international program (IP) under the Educational Hub Project. Respondents included school administrators and teachers, accounting for 307 respondents. A five-point Likert scale survey questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and modified priority needs index (PNImodified). Results showed that measurement and evaluation had the highest need compared to the other three functions, and teaching and learning had the lowest need. Among the ten components of IC, the top three highest needs included intercultural team effectiveness, interpersonal communication, and intercultural empathy, and the top three lowest needs included respect for otherness, intercultural goal orientation, and nonjudgmentalness.
