The purpose of this research is to 1) extract the assessment data from the Developmental Surveillance and Promotion Manual (DSPM) that contributes to the development and training of Executive Function (EF) skills, 2) create indicators of Thai children's development by extracting knowledge from EF construction and 3) integrate knowledge extracted from the DSPM and the EF development indicator to provide data that can be applied in the future using qualitative research and presenting the extracted knowledge to 30 experts to certify the effectiveness and quality of the data. This research used descriptive qualitative to interpret the data. The data was analyzed by using the description of a certain phenomenon and the research findings were summarized as follows: 1) Regarding the extracts from the DSPM that contributed to the development and training of EF skills, the experts agreed that issues with gender should be ruled out 1 item. There were 27 items in total 2) concerning creative indicators, the developmental indicator of cognitive skills were at a high level, and all skill groupings had high levels of quality and precision. 3) In the presentation and assurance of the quality of the data extraction, the opinions of the experts were quite similar, that is the extracted knowledge has acceptable and effective qualities, which can be further developed as a body of knowledge in the development of tools to identify and promote quality child development.
