Development of Higher Vocational Curriculum for Dual System Management Model by Deming Cycle for Students with Certificate of High School

Abstract

The purposes of this research were on the : 1) develop and evaluate the appropriateness of higher vocational curriculum for dual system management model by Deming Cycle for students with certificate of high school and 2) develop and evaluate the efficiency of the higher vocational curriculum for dual system management by Deming Cycle for students with certificate of high school. The process started from studying a problems and needs of a sample group such as administrators and teachers from colleges and enterprises of 84 persons to find the training framework. After that the training program was implemented with the target group of 10 persons who were the administrators and teachers consisting of 5 persons from the college and 5 persons from the enterprises. The results showed that : 1) The model of higher vocational curriculum for dual system management model by Deming Cycle for students with certificate of high school consisted of 5 steps ie : (1) students application (2) students preparation (3) learning and teaching management (4) measurement and evaluation and (5) conclusion for development. The appropriate evaluation was reported at high level. 2) The developed training course consisted of 5 topics based on the elements of the model. Performance evaluation of training course by applying CIPP model showed that the context evaluation on the appropriate training course in overall was at high level. Index of the Item-Objective Congruence between a topic and training course was consistent. The input evaluation showed that there was consistent with all training course and behavioral objectives. The process found that the theoretical result has an average percentage score at 87.00/88.85 and practical section was at the average percentage score at 86.67. The trainees reported satisfaction score at the maximum level. The product evaluation from Executive interview who took the training course management in a real situation showed that they could successfully apply the model throug Deming Cycle. And finally teachers under the implementation of the developed model reported very high satisfaction.
