ACTIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY COURSES
Keywords:
learning management model, active learning, social science research methodology course at graduate levelAbstract
The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the weaknesses of learning management in social science research methodology course at graduate level 2) to study opinions on the use of active learning to improve the quality of learning management in social science research methodology course, 3) to develop an active learning management model for social science research methodology course at graduate level. The target population was 9 instructors with experience in teaching the research methodology course for graduate education at Suan Dusit University, Thailand. The research tool was a group discussion guideline. Data analysis was analyzed by content analysis and constant comparison method.
The research results revealed that
1. The weakness of learning management in social science research methodology course at graduate level was the theory-based approach, the absence of practical skills, and the lack of discussion and sharing experiences. As a result, the students were unable to apply knowledge gained from their studies to their thesis as effectively as they should be.
2. According to the opinions of the target population, active learning was appropriate for content subject and able to improve the quality of learning management in social science research methodology course.
3. In this research, the active learning model in social science research methodology course was conducted and explained in detail in 4 topics: 1) Principles and concepts of the model, 2) Purposes of the model, 3) Learning process of the model, 4) Student learning outcomes after applying the model.
