Abstract
Currently, learning management is a challenge for all educational institutions. This research project examined the guidelines for enhancing the effectiveness of online classes for police cadets using a mixed methods approach. A random sample of 250 police cadets was used for the quantitative method. For the qualitative method, a purposive sample of 34 managements and staff was used, including executive managements, faculty members, police cadets, and police officers from the Office of Academic Resources and Information Technology. The results showed that the use and effectiveness of online classes were highest both overall and on individual items. Police cadets' satisfaction with the use of online classes, which impacted the effectiveness of online classes, was 73.8 percent and significant at the 0.01 level. In addition, the following issues emerged: 1) instructor aspect: unfamiliarity with the program, lack of focus, and lack of interaction with students. The effectiveness enhancing guidelines were teacher/trainer training, establishing a learning community, creating educational innovation, and changing the role of teachers. 2) The student aspect revealed a lack of motivation, discipline, and self-control, as well as uncomfortable communication channels. Therefore, the academy should focus on motivating students, adjusting the perspective of leadership and control, and creating an easily accessible information channel for cadets. 3) The aspect of teaching activities showed the problems of lack of system and program knowledge and online teaching while cadets are in the classroom. Therefore, the academy should establish an online knowledge base, an exam database, and a mentoring system. 4) The aspect of supporting factors for teaching revealed that the learning environment was inadequate and the equipment was not ready. In addition, the academy should improve the basic structure of teaching; especially install the internet network and digital TV.
