The Development Model, Desirable Graduate Attributes, Students, Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat Universityบทคัดย่อ
This research employed a mixed-methods approach to examine, construct, and empirically test a model elucidating the factors influencing the desirable graduate attributes of students at Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University. The study was conducted in three phases. First, data were collected from a sample of 375 students. Next, a developmental model was synthesized based on evaluations provided by nine experts, with data collection occurring from August 1 to August 30, 2024. Finally, the model was implemented within the elementary education program, employing pre- and post-assessment tests to appraise graduate attributes across four dimensions: knowledge, skills, ethics, and personal characteristics. Data analysis was conducted using basic statistics and a t-test, with regression analysis also employed. Key predictors of desirable graduate attributes included self-management, attitudes toward learning, and learning styles, which together accounted for 81% of the variance in these attributes. Qualitative data were analyzed via content analysis. The recommendations confirm the suitability of the learning units' core components but emphasize the need for clearer, behavior-focused assessments with concise, targeted questions. The development model can be improved with thought-provoking questions, fair evaluations, and diverse activities. The experimental group showed significantly higher post-instruction scores, while the control group showed no significant changes. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing graduate attributes to meet societal needs.
