Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop research awareness of students in Library and Information Science program by using research and community- based learning. 2) To test research awareness before and after study with research and community- based learning of students in Library and Information Science. And 3) to study the satisfaction of learning process of research and community- based learning. The sample used for the experimental group consisted of 22 undergraduate students in the Basic Research in Library and Information Science course in the 2019 academic year, Library and Information Science Program. Sample acquisition by selecting a specific sample group. The research instruments were 1) learning management plans by using research and community-based learning, 2) observation form of learning activities, 3) research awareness questionnaire and 4) satisfaction questionnaire of research and community-based learning. The data obtained were analyzed using mean (μ), standard deviation (σ) and content analysis. The results of the study were as follows: The instructional by using research and community-based learning consisted of 5 steps were 1) Prepare for learning, 2) Learning strategies, 3) Research process, 4) Reflect knowledge and 5) Assess learning. The result of the analysis of the research awareness of the experimental group, before the experiment, it was found that the overall research awareness of the sample had sometimes research awareness when evaluating after the experiment was every time research awareness. When separated on each side, the aspect of research awareness at every time was the responding to research, the characterization of research and Understanding, perception of research, while the research value and research value management system were regular research awareness. The satisfaction of the learning process through the research and community-based learning was at medium level.
