Development of Involvement Patterns and Tracking of Effectiveness in Extracurricular Activities Mahidol University

Abstract

          Nowadays, learning only in the classroom may no longer be enough. Extra-curricular activities are an important part in the process of developing students to become graduates who are desirable and valuable to society and the nation according to the philosophy and aspirations of Mahidol University. To give Mahidol University students the opportunity to gain learning experiences beyond classroom studies. This will lead to desirable graduate characteristics and the organizational culture of the university. Mahidol University has therefore required undergraduate students entering the academic year 2009 onwards to participate in extra-curricular activities throughout their studies at Mahidol University, amounting to not less than 100 unit hours, with student activity participation recorded through the system. Record participation in extra-curricular activities (Mahidol Activity Transcript). Recording activity participation information via student card scanners with a large number of students will require time to scan cards, along with the number of staff in charge and the number of scanners. Quite a lot of tickets to accommodate the number of students participating in the activity. In addition, errors were found in recording activity participation data through student ID card scanners. This method may not meet the needs of use. The researcher therefore developed a system for recording student activity participation through the We Mahidol Application.

          The results of the research found that the system reduces the time required to record information on participation in extra-curricular activities from the original time of approximately 60 minutes per activity to only 1 - 5 minutes, helping to reduce the time required to scan student ID cards from 15 seconds/person. Only 2 seconds/person. Reduce the work process and the amount of staff in charge to only 2 people from the original need for up to 12 staff. Reduce equipment used to scan cards. Reduce the steps for filling out and collecting information on student activity participation by staff. As well as reducing errors in recording student activity participation data from 10 percent to only 0.25 percent, the system for recording student activity participation through the We Mahidol Application helps make recording student activity participation possible. conveniently Fast and efficient by the level of satisfaction of the system users It's at a very good level. The average is 4.66.
