Abstract

Background and Aim: The Honest School Project is designed to instill ethical practices and accountability in educational institutions, emphasizing integrity in administrative processes. Implemented within the Phra Chao Tak School Group under Rayong Primary Educational Service Area Office, Area 1, the project aims to promote transparency and ethical values among educators and students. Despite its importance, variations in management approaches based on demographics such as age and work experience have not been adequately explored. This study seeks to address this gap, examining current administrative practices and determining whether demographic factors influence implementation, ultimately contributing to more effective project policies.


Materials and Methods:  A quantitative methodology was employed in this research. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews from 113 teachers involved in the Honest School Project. Participants were selected via simple random sampling, guided by Krejcie and Morgan tables. The questionnaires utilized a five-point Likert scale to evaluate management conditions and project administration effectiveness. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were used to analyze the quantitative data. Content analysis was applied to qualitative interview responses to provide depth and context. Statistical tests were performed at a 0.05 error level to ensure reliability and validity.


Results:  The study findings indicate that the overall administration of the Honest School Project in the Phra Chao Tak School Group is rated at the highest level. Teachers perceived management practices as highly effective, aligning with the project’s goals of promoting transparency and integrity. Additionally, comparative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in project administration based on age or work experience, suggesting consistent implementation across demographic groups.


Conclusion: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Honest School Project's administration within the Phra Chao Tak School Group. High levels of organizational commitment to the project’s goals were observed, with no significant demographic variations influencing management practices. These findings support the project's scalability and underline the importance of maintaining consistent ethical training across diverse educational contexts. The study provides a basis for further research on ethical program impacts in educational institutions and informs strategies for broader adoption.
