Correlation of Supervision Process and the Performance of the Graduate Program in Faculty of Education Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the supervision process and the performance of the graduate program, 2) to study the correlation of the supervisory components and the performance of the graduate program, 3) to assess the supervision process related to the performance of the graduate program in Faculty of Education Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University with empirical data. Mixed methods research was designed. Research sample consisted of 500 samples, and research tools were interview form and questionnaires. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and analyzed factors of the supervision and the performance by computer software packages. Research results indicated that 1) appropriate supervision process and the performance of graduate programs were classified into five main processes, 64 sub-processes. 2) All supervisory and performance components were significantly correlated at the .001 level, with a correlation coefficient range from .054 to .620, which able to be analyzed for the process. 3) The validation of the supervision process related to the performance of the graduate program in Faculty of Education Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University found that it was fit with empirical data, and analysis results were x² = 103.82, df = 84, p = 0.07, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) was .98, Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index  (AGFI) was 0.94, Root Mean Square Residual (RMR) was .14 and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was .02, indicating that the model was consistent with the empirical data. Therefore, the supervision process correlated to the performance of the graduate program
