Abstract
This research aimed to: (1) examine the current situation, challenges, and needs related to the management of teacher-student internship experiences at Yala Rajabhat University; (2) design and develop an information system for managing teacher-student internship experiences at Yala Rajabhat University; and (3) evaluate user satisfaction with the developed information system for managing teacher-student internship experiences. The study involved a total of 344 participants, comprising 212 fourth-year Bachelor of Education students undergoing teaching internships during the first semester of the 2023 academic year, selected through stratified random sampling. Additional participants included 60 education supervisors and staff from the professional training department, and 72 mentor teachers from professional training schools. The research tools included: (1) an interview form to explore the situation, challenges, and system requirements for managing teacher-student internships; (2) an information system effectiveness assessment form employing Black Box Testing techniques for evaluation by experts; (3) the developed information system for managing teacher-student internship experiences at Yala Rajabhat University; and (4) a user satisfaction survey assessing the system's usability. Data were analyzed using statistical methods, including mean scores and standard deviations.
The research findings were as follows: 1) the study of the current situation, challenges, and needs related to the management of teacher-student internships revealed key issues, including handling the large volume of internship data, coordinating academic advisors' supervision, recording students' daily activities, and evaluating students. Stakeholders suggested the necessity of implementing an information system to improve the management of teacher-student internship experiences, 2) the design and development of the information system were structured into six components corresponding to user groups: (1) professional training department staff, (2) curriculum chairs, (3) education supervisors, (4) mentor teachers, (5) school administrators or board members, and (6) students. The effectiveness of the developed system was rated as very high ( = 4.80,
SD = 0.34) and 3) user satisfaction with the developed information system was also high. Staff reported an average satisfaction score of 4.50 (SD = 0.61), while students rated their satisfaction at 4.37 (SD = 0.67), respectively.
