Abstract
Schools are places that are at very high risk of the spread of the COVID-19 virus and are made up of large numbers of people, including students, teachers or caregivers, and parents. Therefore, there is a risk of spreading the virus easily. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the subsequent closure of educational institutions has caused more than 1.5 billion students, or more than 90% of all students in the world, to be affected in the learning process. Objectives: to present educational management guidelines in preparation for the new normal that will occur after the COVID-19 crisis. Reasons for the importance of conducting research on a new normal living model of upper elementary school students in the COVID-19 outbreak with school-based management in the upper southern provinces This research model uses mixed methods, both quantitative and qualitative research methods. and qualitative research methods. The project started from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. A participatory action research study was conducted. Participatory Action Research (PAR) together with qualitative data collection. by group chat the operation was divided into 3 phases by using the educational institute area to represent the upper primary schools in the upper southern provinces, totaling 7 provinces, one for each province using the selection criteria from the primary schools under the jurisdiction. According to the context and size of the school, OBEC or the municipality may apply for participation. It is a large school and teaches from kindergarten to upper elementary school in 7 provinces in the upper southern part of Thailand. Based on the above criteria, the 7 participating schools were: Kindergarten in Phang Nga Province and Kindergarten in Ranong Province. Chumphon Kindergarten Krabi Kindergarten, Phuket Kindergarten, Surat Thani Province and the Municipality International School Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand Sample calculation and sample selection (Sample size and sample selection) The study population consisted of primary school students in grades 4-6 and teachers in teacher schools in large primary schools in the 7 upper southern provinces; 4,635 grade 4-6 students and 712 teachers. A total of 5,347 people were included in the sample group. with qualitative data collection by group discussion with teachers and related people of students and schools, such as parents, Sub-District Administrative Organization health workers, health promotion hospitals, and parents, a total of 15 people per school. The sample group was calculated using the Kracy & Morgan formula, totaling 1,530/235, using a simple random sampling method, totaling 1,765 students. The objectives were to study the following data in upper primary schools in 7 provinces in the region. Thailand's Upper South 1) to evaluate the situational experience of adjusting to a new normal lifestyle during the COVID-19 outbreak 2) To develop and evaluate a new normal life model for upper elementary school students affected by the COVID-19 outbreak with school-based management, and 3) To pass on a new normal life model for upper elementary school students affected by the COVID-19 outbreak with school-based management. The majority of the students who received this research were female (54.5%), aged 11 years (29.28%), and in grade 6 (36.4%). Overall preparedness for management on the overall COVID-19 outbreak was high (74.0%) across all components, according to the DMHT-RC measure. Overall, 75.5 percent of students' health literacy was found. The average of all 6 components, which were at a relatively high level (60-80 percent), showed that the teachers had average scores in literacy and cognitive health, and the overall picture was at the most correct level (mean 4.97, SD = 0.86). Practices against the COVID-19 outbreak are at a high level (Mean = 93.24, SD = 15.41). In the second phase, the model school development activities were conducted by a participatory workshop for 10 hours, totaling 2 days of operation. Nakhon Si Thammarat volunteered to participate. There were 330 students in grades 4-6, 49 administrators and teachers to develop an epidemic prevention management model. COVID-19 to the new normal by using the school as a base, it was found that there were 3 development patterns, namely the full development model. full and standard. The program provides knowledge using four components: school management, Health Literate School (HLS) development, environmental management, and school safety (EH&S) and Participation and Partnerships The productivities including Handbooks policies model, measures model, and response plans of schools in the form of electronic media, posters, and e-books, it was found that in the second phase, the schools that developed the literacy program had the effectiveness of the program with the mean scores of the two groups that differed significantly higher than the other two formats. COVID-19 prevention behaviors and average knowledge score After the training using the school program, statistically significantly higher than before the program. In the third phase, from the study of factors affecting school readiness for school reopening using Binary logistic regression statistics, it was found that factors affecting school reopening of the primary school is the management of the school environment. by a school with a better managed environment is twice as likely to reopen as schools with poor environmental management (B = 2.047, CI = 1.428-2.934, P-value = .000). Due to the qualitative study results found under the theme requirements, new normal life (New Normal); risk communication. (Communication); Stakeholders and Networks; Disease prevention and control (Caution and Control); Health Literate School; Countermeasures to respond to incidents (Operating); organization management (Organizational practice); and policies, measures (Legislation) which can bring the development program to 3 The model can be applied in the school according to the school context in a variety of ways. and create sustainability by utilizing participatory development in four key elements to mitigate the potential negative impacts of future changes in the communicable disease situation. Survey information system for learning readiness in schools must be improved. Four areas must be addressed: policy implementation, management measures, health literacy development, environmental management and school safety. Spatial information for educational advancement, access to technology and preventative care for security and cleanliness should be used.
