Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop an external quality assurance model focus on reducing educational inequality under area-based human resource constraint of Border Patrol Police Schools. The research and development methodology was employed. The model was drafted by synthesizing the results of the study on educational inequality and causal factors from Border Patrol Police schools. The accuracy and feasibility of the drafted model were validated by 9 experts. The practical feasibility and contextual acceptance were verified by 18 stakeholders, and the model was evaluated by 9 experts. The research instruments included a document synthesis form, questionnaires, in-depth interview guides, and an evaluation form based on the Joint Committee standards. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research results revealed that the developed model consisted of 3 main components: 1) Introduction, which aimed to create educational equity and decentralization; 2) Content, which adjusted the role of evaluation towards spatial supplementary criteria and developmental coaching; and 3) Success Conditions from alliance networks. The evaluation of the model's quality across all aspects—accuracy, feasibility, propriety, utility, and accountability—was at the highest level (M = 4.60 - 4.93), which reflects that this model can be practically implemented to reduce the gap of educational inequality in remote areas sustainably.
