The purposes of his study are to investigate relationships between effectiveness and quality related to elementary education, and to develop an Integration Model of Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management in Elementary Schools. For the purposes, this study was designed as follows; First, by reviewing the related literature about Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management, a theoretical model was constructed. Second, a questionnaire was developed to measure the major factors of the Integration Model to be suitable for elementary schools. That was verified by examining the validity(Factor analysis) and reliability(Cronbach`s a coefficient and test-reliability). SPSS-AMOS 4.0 was adopted to test the relationship between the theoretical Integration Model and each variables. The model fitness was identified by using the chi-square statistics(0.25), Goodness-of-Fit Index(GFI 0.94), Adjusted Goodness-off Fit Index(AGFL, 0.85), Normed Fit Index(NFI, 0.93), and Non Normed Fit Index(NNFL, 0.95). The conclusion of this study based upon the results is that the Integration Model of Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management could be useful and applied to elementary schools. However, educational organization has its uniqueness of system, and the paradigm which able to manage the quality is required. To discuss the effectiveness and quality, it is necessary to consider the intrinsic nature of elementary education and the related stakeholders.
