Abstract
This research focused to study 1) the student learning and 2) the level of students' opinions towards using work-integrated learning in “policy implementation and evaluation” subject. The study employed a mixed method. The sample consisted of 32 third-year students from the Public Administration Program, Faculty of Commerce and Management, Prince of Songkla University, Trang Campus, who enrolled in the “policy implementation and evaluation” subject in the first semester of the academic year 2022. The researchers collected data by in-depth interviews, observations during activities, and questionnaires. The results revealed that 1) students could achieve multiple learning outcomes in social domain, cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain; and 2) the students had a high level of overall opinion (x̄=4.62, S.D.=0.42), while the issue of encouraging learners to work with others had the highest average score (x̄=4.79, S.D.=0.42), and the issue of assisting learners in reasoning got the least average score (x̄=4.47, S.D.=0.51).
