Abstract

For teaching and learning at present, it cannot focus solely on a lecture in class. Especially, learners who study public administration have one of the ELOs in producing leadership. The objectives of this study was to study the effectiveness of the application of Work-Integrated Learning Model in subject Project Formulation and Policy Analysis for the 3rd year students in Public Administration program. The instructor assigned the learners to learn from the project, there were ideas and needs in common with the community, which aims to enable learners to integrate academic services into teaching and learning effectively and able to respond the project in accordance with the needs of the community/society. The instructor designed teaching method over a period of 15 weeks, which can be divided into 3 steps: 1) project preparation 2) project approval and 3) project management. This research was a qualitative research. Data collection by using participant observation, semi-structured interview and focus group after the project to receive feedback (Reflection) then analyzed data by content analysis.


The findings revealed that the learner achievement when classifying learning according to Bloom’s Taxonomy guidelines, in cognitive domain, the learners could synthesize projects to the community. In psychomotor domain, the learners could invent a new projects to meet the needs of each community creatively.

In social domain, the learners had developed communication, teamwork, management, and leadership that were aligned with CLO and ELO.
