Perception, Regulations, Graduate Studies, Thesis and Independent Study CommitteesAbstract
This study aims to examine the perception and understanding of stakeholders involved in the implementation of the Mahidol University Regulations on Graduate Studies B.E. 2567 (2024) concerning the appointment of thesis and independent study committees. The population and sample consisted of 116 program chairs, curriculum committee members, faculty members, and program administrative staff involved in graduate education at the master’s and doctoral levels.
This study employed a mixed-methods research design, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches to obtain comprehensive data aligned with the research objectives.
The results indicated varying levels of perception and understanding of the Mahidol University Regulations on Graduate Studies B.E. 2567 (2024). The highest level of correct understanding was the administration and supervision of thesis and independent study proposals and related activities by academic programs 97.41%, whereas the highest level of incorrect understanding was eligibility for appointment as a principal thesis or independent study advisor 43.97%, and the greatest lack of awareness was concerned with the effective date of the regulation 37.07%. No significant differences in overall knowledge and understanding were found among respondents across three disciplinary groups: health science, technology science, and humanities and social science.
The findings reflect the need to enhance communication strategies through continuous training and the development of clear and accessible informational materials to support the accurate and effective implementation of the regulations.
