Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate various instructional activities to promote student’s understanding and attitude of the course contents for further applying to medical technology service and knowledge transferring to the community. Also, the knowledge of the community health leaders was evaluated after knowledge transfer by many students in the classroom. Various instructional activities in the course consisted of lectures, video recordings of medical technology service examples, knowledge management with experienced medical technologists, and workshop
from community health problems. All fourth-year students, registered in the "Community Medical
Technology" must assess the understanding and attitude of the course contents involved with the course learning outcome by online questionnaire within each topic in the course. The result revealed that medical technology students had the increased understanding of in various topics
related to the importance of the ‘Community Medical Technology’, role of medical technologists
in community health service, processes of community health service, and the application of medical technology knowledge for the solving of community health problems. Moreover, the attitude of the course contents including the student’s goal to be part of the solving of community health problems was increased when compared to prior participating in the instructional activities with statistically significant (*p<0.05). After the aforementioned course activities, all classroom students had the skill to conduct medical technology knowledge for supporting community health service and also transferring laboratory results of medical technology to community health leaders in the real situation of Mae Chai, Phayao province. The transferring knowledge to community health leaders was finally evaluated and the result demonstrated that these community health leaders had the increased knowledge involved with medical technology consisting of the process of specimen collection, simple laboratory examination, interpretation of laboratory results and other general health knowledge up to 80% of all participants. Taken together, various instructional activities in the course of ‘Community Medical Technology’ could lead to the development of student’s skills in medical technology service for serving as the effective solving of community health problems.
