A Study on Student Learning Outcomes of Undergraduate Students in Rambhai Barni Rajabhat University based on Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education using PC Model

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) study learning outcomes based on Thailand Qualifications Framework (TQF) using PC Model, 2) compare the learning outcomes before and after using PC Model in the teaching process, 3) study knowledge sustainability of the learning outcomes after using PC Model and 4) study level of student satisfaction towards learning and teaching process using PC Model.  The samples used in the research were 184 graduate students of Rambhai Barni Rajabhat University with  multi-stage sampling technique.  The research instruments consisted of one lesson plan, three behavioral observation forms, two tests and one questionnaire.  The data were analyzed by using a descriptive statistic, dependent sample t-test and one-way repeated measures ANOVA.

            The results found that:

1) the mean of student learning outcomes after using PC Model in the teaching process showed that; 1.1) Ethics and moral was 65.85%, 1.2) Knowledge was 54.91%, 1.3) Cognitive skill was 72.67%, 1.4) Interpersonal skill and responsibility was 45.26% and 1.5) Numerical analysis, communication and information technology skill was 80.00%;

            2) the comparison of learning outcomes before and after using PC Model showed that; 2.1) there was no difference for Ethics and moral, 2.2) for Knowledge, after learning was higher than before learning with statistical significance at the 0.05 level, 2.3) for Cognitive skill, after learning was higher than before learning with statistical significance at the 0.05 level, 2.4) for Interpersonal skill and responsibility, after learning was higher than before learning with statistical significance at the 0.05 level and 2.5) for Numerical analysis, communication and information technology skill, after learning was higher than before learning with statistical significance at the 0.05 level;

            3) after two weeks of learning with PC Model, the students had higher knowledge than after leaning with statistical significance at the 0.05 level (which indicated knowledge sustainability); and

            4) the overall satisfaction of the students towards learning and teaching process using PC Model was at the high level (mean was 3.98 and standard deviation was 0.44).
