Measurement and Evaluation of Learning Outcomes under Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (TQF: HEd) of Thailand National Sports University Lecturers

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to 1) study the procedures of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes, 2) explore the conditions of measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes, and 3) investigate the self-development needs of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes under Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (TQF: HEd) among Thailand National Sports University (TNSU) lecturers. This study was document synthesis and quantity research. The data were collected from 189 TNSU lecturers. Mean, Standard Deviation, Priority Need Index Modified, and T-test were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that 1) procedures of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes under TQF: HEd consisted of 5 stages. Stage 1 was planning, comprising determining 3 areas of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes, including (1) the objectives, (2) the elements, and (3) the methods and instruments to be in agreement with the measured learning outcomes. Stage 2 was designing and developing the instrument, comprising (1) designing an instrument, and (2) validating the instrument. Stage 3 was performing data collecting. Stage 4 was summarizing the results of the measurement and evaluation. Stage 5 was reporting and applying the results to the learning development process. 2) TNSU lecturers applied the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes under TQF: HEd in use in high level including (1) determining the objectives of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes, (2) determining the elements of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes, (3) data collecting, and reporting and applying the results to the learning development process. 3) TNSU lecturers had a self-development need of the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes under TQF: HEd. The highest need was for designing the instrument, followed by validating the instrument, determining the methods and instruments to be in agreement with the measured learning outcomes (PNI_Modified = 0.46) respectively.
