This research on the use of digital technology for instructional management by teachers in Network Schools Group 30, Prawet District Office, Bangkok, aims to: 1) study the use of digital technology in instructional management, 2) compare the use of digital technology based on educational qualifications, teaching experience, and school size, and 3) explore guidelines for the effective use of digital technology. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, data were collected from 125 teachers, selected through stratified sampling. A questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale was employed, and data were analyzed using means and standard deviations. In the second phase, interviews were conducted with three experts, selected through purposive sampling, using a structured interview format. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that: Overall, the use of digital technology for instructional management was at a high level, with the highest mean score in the aspect of using digital tools. There were no significant differences in the use of digital technology based on educational qualifications, teaching experience, or school size. The proposed guidelines suggest teachers use online platforms (e.g., Google Classroom, Zoom) and applications (e.g., Kahoot, Quizizz) to enhance student engagement and enable real-time assessment. Teachers should also develop skills in programming, creating digital learning materials, and utilizing basic digital tools, with an emphasis on digital safety.
