Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the active learning management competencies of new faculty members at Rangsit University. The objectives were: 1) to compare these competencies before and after participating in the "Enhancing Active Learning Management Competencies of New Faculty Members, Academic Year 2024" competency enhancement curriculum, and 2) to examine their satisfaction and identify areas for improvement regarding the professional development program. This quantitative study utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design. The target group, selected through purposive sampling, consisted of 31 new faculty members with 1-5 years of experience (student IDs 63-67) during the 2024 academic year. Research instruments included the 12-hour competency development course, a competency self-assessment, and a satisfaction questionnaire, all developed by experts. These tools achieved a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.92, indicating high reliability. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The findings revealed that:
1. The participants' active learning management competencies significantly increased after the initiative at a .01 statistical level (t = 36.60).
2. The satisfaction with the aforementioned competency enhancement program was at the highest level. This curriculum effectively enhances the teaching competencies of new faculty members in alignment with professional standards and can serve as a model for academic staff development in higher education.
