The purpose of this exploratory study was to document aspects of research methodology in educational leadership directed at emerging school leaders and the academic community that supports them. The intricacy of educational challenges highlights the necessity for a thorough investigation, the results of which will inform suitable reforms. Scholars have long argued about which of the qualitative and quantitative approaches is more rigorous in its contribution to the development of education. Some academics contend that since education focuses primarily on human behaviour, which is value-laden, research in this area should take a qualitative approach. Results indicate that while qualitative methods were more common in the arts, quantitative methods dominated research in education and the sciences. However, the social sciences frequently used a blend of qualitative and mixed approaches. The findings' implications for improving research methodology skills and the integrity of educational research are examined.

Innovative leadership development can assist administrators of private vocational colleges in identifying and capitalizing on new opportunities within the educational administration network by fostering creative thinking and openness to new ideas. Such administrators can discover novel approaches to efficiently and effectively address the needs of students, faculty members, and stakeholders. Therefore, the research objectives are as follows: to examine the components and indicators of innovative leadership among administrators of private vocational colleges in the northeastern region, to assess the consistency of the innovative leadership measurement model, and to develop guidelines based on the study findings for implementation. To develop the innovative leadership of private vocational college administrators, a mixed-method research approach was employed, consisting of four phases. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical packages for further reference. The results revealed that Innovative Leadership comprises five main components and fifteen indicators. These indicators were found to be appropriate based on the specified criteria. The developed measurement model for innovative leadership indicators demonstrated consistency with the empirical data, with statistically significant values (P-value = 0.73, RMSEA = 0.023, SRMR = 0.019, CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.00). Furthermore, all main components exhibited factor loadings higher than the criterion of 0.70, while sub-components and indicators displayed factor loadings higher than the criterion of 0.30. Finally, the implementation of the guidelines yielded positive results, as they were deemed suitable, feasible, and highly beneficial across all aspects.

The experimental study, which was conducted under the research project entitled "Empowering Teachers' Learning to Enhance Students' Change Leadership Skills," is part of a series of research projects that focuses on 21st century skills that have been supported by the Doctoral Program in Educational Administration at the Isan campus of Mahamakut Buddhist University. This study emphasizes the utilization of opportunities that are being presented by knowledge-based and digital societies in the contemporary era. The development of Change Leadership Skills was approached by utilizing a Research & Development (R&D) methodology that employed various perspectives available on the internet. This approach aimed at creating innovative educational practices to enhance the teachers' learning and, subsequently, at empowering them to transfer their knowledge to develop their students. It is believed that if teachers acquire knowledge and are stimulated to put it into practice, it will create the power that can enhance the effectiveness of student development, which is in accordance with the concept of "Knowledge and Action are power." Based on this idea, a research and development (R&D) methodology was employed to incorporate various perspectives on developing Change Leadership Skills, which had been found on the internet, and incorporating them into an innovative educational program designed to strengthen teacher learning. The program called the "Online Self-Training Program to Empower Teachers' Learning to Enhance Students' Change Leadership Skills," was evaluated by teachers, who had been involved with the program and had found the program to be effective in accordance with the established criteria. Therefore, the program could be disseminated to benefit teacher development and the development of undergraduate students, who are majoring in teaching the Thai language, the English language, and Social Studies at the Faculty of Education at both the central and branch campuses Mahamakut Buddhist University. This target group can rapidly, efficiently, and effectively disseminate the research findings.
