There are 4 steps in the research as follows: Step 1 is the use of research sample consisting of administrators and lecturers from 38 Rajabhat universities in Thailand for finding the measures and level indicators by conducting t-test to select appropriate indicators which are those that have rating means of 3.50 or over. Step 2 is the use of research sample consisting of internal educational quality of the educational institution to confirm the measures and the level indicators with the use of t-test. Step 3 is the use of confirmatory factor analysis to select the measures with .30 or higher factor loading. Step 4 is the test of goodness-of-fit od the measures with empirical data. Research results show that 5 measures and 25 level indicators have been obtained.
