Abstract

The research titled Enhancing Learning Ecosystems to Improve Instructional Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence in Primary Schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission in the Highland Areas of Thailand aimed to: (1) examine the level of enhancement of learning ecosystems to improve instructional management in the AI era in primary schools, and (2) compare the enhancement of learning ecosystems for instructional improvement in the AI era across schools categorized by size and geographic location. The sample comprised 354 primary schools selected through simple random sampling that were1,062 school administrators and teachers. The research instrument was a questionnaire dealing with enhancement of learning ecosystems, with a reliability coefficient of 0.99. Data analysis involved frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, and LSD test.

The research findings revealed that: (1) the overall level of enhancement of the learning ecosystem to improve instructional management in the era of artificial intelligence in primary schools, including all specific dimensions, was at a high level; and (2) there were no statistically significant differences in the enhancement of learning ecosystems based on school size. However, statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level were found among schools located in different geographic areas.

The findings suggest that educational policies should prioritize geographically differentiated support rather than school size when promoting AI-enabled learning ecosystems. Greater investment in digital infrastructure, teacher capacity development, and cross-sector partnerships is particularly needed in geographically disadvantaged areas to reduce educational disparities and strengthen equitable AI-supported instructional management
