Abstract
This research aimed to: 1) develop and implement the VITAL-CARE MODEL to enhance the quality of students at Phibun Mangsahan Technical College, Ubon Ratchathani Province; and to examine the model's effects on students' 2) “Smartness,” 3) “Goodness,” and 4) “Happiness,” compared with the 2024 academic year. A mixed-methods Research and Development (R&D) approach based on Borg and Gall was employed in four phases. The target group comprised 85 administrators, teachers, and staff; 300 students; 20 enterprise representatives; and 12 experts. The instruments were an interview form, a questionnaire, a model-evaluation form, and a “Good, Smart, and Happy” characteristics assessment. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis.
The findings revealed that: 1) the VITAL-CARE MODEL consisted of nine components—V (Vision & Values), I (Integrated Learning), T (Teacher Development), A (Active Participation), L (Life Skills), C (Collaboration), A (Assessment & Evaluation), R (Research-based Practice), and E (Empowerment)—operating through the PDCA cycle, and the complete model was rated at the highest level of appropriateness (x̄ = 4.76) and a high level of feasibility (x̄ = 4.25); 2) regarding “Smartness,” graduates with a GPA of at least 2.50 increased to 100%, the professional-standard pass rate rose from 88.34% to 100%, and V-NET scores increased by 8.55%; 3) regarding “Goodness,” the five moral dimensions improved from a moderate to a high level (x̄ = 3.54 to 4.18), 84.67% passed the assessment at a good level or above, and volunteer-service hours increased by 47.06%; and 4) regarding “Happiness,” students testing positive for drugs decreased by 98.04%, mental-emotional and social well-being rose to a high level, and the dropout rate declined from 6.80% to 4.20%, meeting the criteria for all indicators across the three dimensions.
