Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the competencies of 24 Nutrition and Dietetics students according to the criteria of Prince of Songkla University using three of the five main competencies. After completing a project that incorporated knowledge in nutrition and dietetics to mankind by simulation-based and real-world situational learning in the course 711-101 Benefits of Mankind. The student’s competency was then evaluated by students and instructors using an online form. This study found that in simulation situations students demonstrated competencies in all three areas. Almost every criterion was greater than the skill level of 711-101 for first-year students. Furthermore, in real-world situations, the competency levels of C2.2 and C3 remained at level 1, which corresponds to the course's competency level. When differences in learning abilities assessed by students and instructors were compared, both groups agreed that creating teaching and learning in virtual simulation situations supports students to improve their problem solving skills. On the other hand, other competency assessments by students and instructors revealed significant differences. Students may assessed themselves based on their expectations, whereas instructors might assessed them more realistically.
