OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY


To investigate factors essential for the

development graduates’ characteristics based on

TQF for HEd

To design a model of Graduates’ Characteristics

To evaluate the model



RESEARCH PROCEDURE


Step 1: Analyzing factors essential

21st Century Student Outcome and Support System

Graduates’ characteristics based on TQF for HEd

Learning standard based on TQF for HEd of RMUTP

Learning standard based on TQF for HEd in bachelor’s degree

technology (Mass Communication Technology)

Graduates’ characteristics of RMUTP



RESEARCH PROCEDUE


Step 2: Designing the model

Factors essential from Step 1 to develop the model for

developing of Graduates’ characteristics



RESEARCH PROCEDUE


Step 3: Evaluating the model

Nine experts who are specialists: Education and

Technology, Graduates’ Characteristics, TQF for HEd,

and Mass Communication Technology Management

Questionnaires were employed to collect



RESULTS
