Sutin, Clinical Professor, Administrative and Policy Studies Dissertation Advisor: Dr. John C. Weidman, Professor, Administrative and Policy Studies ii Copyright © by Malinee Rattananuntapat 2015 iii QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICIES IN THAI HIGHER EDUCATION Malinee Rattananuntapat, EdD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation explores the perceptions of university administrators concerning internal quality assurance policies administrated by the Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) and the external quality assurance policies administrated by the Office for National Education Standards, and Quality Assessment (ONESQA) in Thailand’s higher education. A pre-developed questionnaire and guided interview questions for the telephone interviews were developed to investigate the administrators’ perceptions toward four aspects of the policy implementation: 1) the current practices of national quality assurance policies, 2) the major components of institutional quality assurance, 3) the roles of state governments and national quality assurance agencies, and 4) the policies’ recommendations. The 80 completed questionnaire surveys of overall surveys distributed to 153 targeted higher education institutions were returned for an overall response rate of 52.3% in addition to 6 administrators participated in the interviews. The findings in this study revealed a consensus exists among the administrators about the current practices of national QA policies. In general, the administrators showed positive perceptions on the presence and objectives of the policies and desire for improvement on the policies’ administration. The major components of institutional quality assurance for Thai higher education derived from analysis of the administrators’ perceptions encompassed QA process, QA system, QA people, budget investment, and QA outcomes. The findings revealed that most iv administrators held positive views toward the existing role and functions of OHEC and expected OHEC to focus on being a quality management supporter and increasing the effectiveness of the policy administration. Meanwhile, the perceptions toward the ONESQA’s role and functioning were somewhat negative, and many administrators supported ONESQA to seriously reinforce its role as an external QA agency. The statistically significant associations found in this study suggested that public and private universities may view the major components of institutional quality assurance and the existing roles of OHEC and ONESQA differently. The findings also confirmed that quality awareness and collaboration in higher education institutions were very important for the success of the policy implementation. Based on the result of this study, a model for effective QA policy implementation in the Thai higher education system was proposed. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ....................................................................................................

Siam University (SU) is one of the leading Thai comprehensive private universities of which “Sustainability” is one of the main missions. The mission is guided by the concept of “Sustainable Development (SD)” and the principle of “Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP)” bestowed by the late King Rama IX. SU has endorsed many sustainability policies and projects including those concerned with ecosystem and water management system. Our target groups include SU staff and students as well as members in Phasi Charoen district. SU has encouraged water conservation and management policies and practices including reduction of water usage program for quite some time. Although piped water is still mainly used, we have installed automated hand washing taps counting to more than 75% of total water appliances. Water from the campus natural pond is used and reused for gardening and washing. After this initial stage, we have planned to do more programs concerning water recycling, reuse, and treatment system under the principle of SEP. Considering that our pond and surrounding canals are connected to Phasi Charoen communities, we hope that our water conservation and management system will not only lead to a more sustainable campus but also a more sustainable district.
