Abstract

This research aims to: 1) Study the components of desirable characteristics, the elements of the model, the current state, the desired state, necessary requirements, and best practices in management to enhance desirable characteristics of students; 2) Develop the model; 3) Test the model; 4) Evaluate the model. The sample size was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table, consisting of 111 school administrators out of a population of 156, selected through simple random sampling. The target group for the model testing was 20 people. Data collection used techniques such as expert seminars, questionnaires, interviews, tests, and satisfaction assessments. The statistics used were mean, standard deviation, percentage, and PNI.

The research findings were as follows: 1) The desirable characteristics of students consist of 6 components. The current state was rated as high, while the desired state was rated as the highest. The most important necessary requirement was honesty and integrity. 2) The model consists of 5 parts: (1) Principles, (2) Objectives, (3) Implementation methods based on modern management theory (POLC), which includes Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling, (4) Evaluation guidelines, and (5) Success conditions. 3) The model testing revealed that the knowledge and understanding scores, as well as behavior levels, after the use of the model were higher than before, and the satisfaction level was high. 4) The model evaluation showed that the model was highly suitable and feasible.
