Abstract
This research aims to 1) develop a community-based learning model to promote research competency, 2) to study the level of students' research competency, and 3) compare research competency before and after implementing the community-based learning model. The sample consisted of 30 students enrolled in BA4110 Business Research Methodology in the first semester of 2023. The research instruments included a lesson plan and a research competency questionnaire. The statistical methods used in the study were mean, standard deviation, and paired–sample t-test. The results indicated that a community-based learning model for enhancing the research competency consists of the following: 1) A learning activity model comprising four components: Part 1 Learning content, Part 2 Learning process, Part 3 Learning activities and materials and Part 4 Learning assessment and evaluation. 2) The experiential learning management process consists of four stages: Stage 1 Concrete Experience, Stage 2. Reflective Observation, Stage 3 Abstract Conceptualization and Stage 4 Active Experimentation. The Research competency consists of three dimensions were examined: research knowledge, skills and Attributes. The results showed that the overall average score after implementation the model was significantly higher than the before implementation, when considering the average scores of model implementation by component, it was found that research knowledge before using the model ( = 3.41) and after using the model (
= 4.24), research skills before using the model (
= 3.61) and after using the model (
= 4.25), and research attributes before using the model (
= 3.78) and after using the model (
= 4.37). 3) The comparison of research competency before and after using the community-based learning model revealed that the average score after implementation was significantly higher than before at the 0.01 significance level.
