education management by partners cooperation networkAnd to create a link between all sectors in the development 

of research topics to be related. There are also indicators in various project forms. That have not yet implemented 

the strategy This causes delays and causes budget outages ( Uppamaiathicha & Roueangrong, 2021: 1441- 1447) . 

For the presentation of this research paper, this research paper is presented in the second step in order to present 

the policy on the development of research topics among graduate students in the Faculty of Education.

would like to present such a policy form for the benefit of both departments.  4 departments: 1)  Department of 

Education, 2)  Department of Education Administration and Development, 3)  Department of Educational 

Technology and Communication, and 4) Department of Physical Education and Exercise Science. This will affect 

the development of educational management in the next step of development and planning in research of graduate 

students. 

  

2. METHOD  
 Questionnaire is employed for collecting data from each department. The participants were purposive 

sampling with 12 experts. Data were collected and analysed by mean and standard deviation using the following 

interpretation criteria:  

 

  Mean  Interpretation  

 4.51-5.00   means it is appropriate and possible at the highest level 

  3.51-4.50   means it is appropriate and feasible at a high level 

  2.51-3.50   means that it is appropriate and feasible at a moderate level 

  1.51-2.50   means that it is appropriate and possible at a low level 

  1.00-1.50   means it is appropriate and feasible at the lowest level 

 

 Analyze the data from the questionnaire, the participants in this research can be listed belows. Mean, 

Median, and Interquartile range were calculated the difference between the quartiles. If the calculated interquartile 

range of each statement is 1. 50 or less, then the expert opinion on the statement is consistent, and on the other 

hand, if it is greater than 1. 50, the expert opinion.  To the message is inconsistent. The researchers determined the 

frequency of a score scale of 1 to 5 for each message.  The rating scale has the highest frequency is considered a 

popular base for the message.  If any item has the highest frequency of the same score level and the scores are 

adjacent to each other, for example, Level 3 and Level 4, the middle value between the two scores is taken as the 

base of the message.
