The Needs of Development Curriculum Management of Rajabhat Universities Based on the Concept of Human Capital

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the requirements for developing curriculum management at Rajabhat Universities, with a focus on the concept of human capital. The population consisted of 3,172 curriculums from 38 Rajabhat universities. The informants were curriculum administrators for 343 curriculums, with two individuals per curriculum, resulting in a total of 686 people. This was determined using Krejcie & Morgan's sample size estimation formula and a simple random sampling method (Random Table). The research instrument examined the current and desired curriculum management practices at Rajabhat Universities, utilizing a 5-level rating scale based on the concept of human capital. It was divided into 3 parts, consisting of Part 1: General Information; Part 2: Opinions about present and desirable curriculum management of Rajabhat Universities based on the concept of human capital in 5 aspects, totaling 321 items; and Part 3: Suggestions, totaling 5 items. This research employed an instrument with a content validity (IOC) of 1.0 and a reliability of 0.99. We analyzed the data using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNI_modified). 

The results of research show that the priority needs for developing curriculum management at Rajabhat Universities were as follows: learning support was the highest priority need, followed by curriculum designing, curriculum assessment, and curriculum implementation. The lowest priority need was staffing.
