Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to study the authentic teacher mindset of private catholic school teachers, 2) to develop a psychological strategy model for enhancing authentic teacher mindset of private Catholic school teachers. The sample divided into 2 groups. 3) to evaluate the effects of psychological strategy model for enhancing authentic teacher mindset of private Catholic school, teachers, and 4) to study the satisfaction of teachers of private catholic schools experimental group on the psychological strategy model for enhancing authentic teacher mindset of private catholic school teachers after the follow-up by using a focus group. The first group of authentic teacher mindset study consisted of 159 persons. The second group of the study was selected from the first group. They were 40 persons authentic teacher mindset scores were lower than twenty-fifth percentile, and the Second groups were classified as an experimental group
and a control group. Each group consisted of twenty person. The research instruments were 1) the authentic teacher mindset and 2) the development of a psychological strategy model for enhancing the authentic teacher mindset of private catholic school teachers The research results were as follows: 1) The total mean score and each dimension score of authentic teacher mindset of 159 persons. Those were multi-stage sampling from the population. were average The mean score of moral and ethics dimension was high while the mean score of spirituality, learning management and self-development dimension were average; 2) the authentic teacher mindset of the experimental group after the experiment and after
the follow-up was significantly higher than before the experiment at the level of .01; 3) the authentic teacher mindset of private catholic schools. The experimental group and the control group before the experiment no difference, after the experiment and after the follow-up of the experimental group have scores higher than the control group with statistical significance at the level of .01 4) Focus group report of the experimental group showed that they were very satisfied with the psychological strategy model for enhancing authentic teacher mindset because the framework for developing an authentic teacher mindset consisting of psychological strategies, techniques, methods, and intention of the researcher. It allowed the experimental group to learn and change themselves for the better.
