The sample group included 3 administrators in vocational institutes in the south, 2 representatives of educational institutes under the Office of Vocational Education Commission, 10 instructors in higher education institutions, and learners in vocational and higher education institutions. 60 people were studied. The research instrument was a research questionnaire on curriculum development, measurement and evaluation for teaching and learning management at the vocational level through an online multi-platform system. and unstructured interviews. The statistic used to analyze the data was frequency distribution. The percentage, mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.) and qualitative data were determined using content analysis. The results showed that Instructors today need to be competent in measuring and evaluating learning outcomes. They must have the ability to design and modify methods of measurement and evaluation. To lead to decision-making and to develop students’ competency in accordance with current conditions and in accordance with the Vocational Certificate Program, B.E. 2562, Office of the Vocational Education Commission.

Developing measurement and evaluation skills will help teachers understand and choose measurement and evaluation methods ( =4.33, S.D.=0.78). Instructors should have a variety of measurement and evaluation methods ( =4.23, S.D.=0.81), respectively Measuring and evaluating the learning outcomes of learners in various courses in the past, there were problems and obstacles, including lack of clarity of the Rubik’s criteria, including the selection of traditional measurement and evaluation methods that cannot be measured to matchtheactual conditions. It is necessary to stimulate the practical work of students to be more efficient. Teachers should be able to choose measurement and evaluation tools from samples that have or are similar in nature to the course taught, so that they can be easily adapted. Emphasis on real-world assessment, convenient, easy to access and easy to understand and adapted to modern situations and technologies. Measured in accordance with the reality, consistent with the performance of vocational measurement and evaluation.
