Abstract:
The purposes of this study were 1) to develop an Instructional Model Based on the Transtheoretical Model to Enhance Responsibility of Undergraduate Students and 2) to study the results obtained from using an Instructional Model Based on the Transtheoretical Model to Enhance Responsibility of Undergraduate Students, which was divided into two areas, namely 2.1) to compare responsibility of all samples before and after using the instructional model, and 2.2) to compare the variance of responsible behaviors of undergraduate students who have diverse responsibilities. The purposive samples used in the experiment included a group of undergraduate students in a private university in semester 2/2557. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire for collecting data regarding students responsibility behaviors, a report of students responsibility behaviors, an observation form for responsibility behaviors, and an interview form. The research findings revealed that: 1. The Instructional Model Based on the Transtheoretical Model to Enhance Responsibility of Undergraduate Students consisted of 6 steps: 1) Motivation, 2) Identification of Role and Responsibility, 3) Collaboration, 4) Knowledge Demonstration, 5) Advancement to Development, and 6. Change Evaluation. 2. The overall of the behavioral responsibility post-test scores for their own learning, for the instructor, and for the peers were significantly different from the pre-test scores at the .05 level. When considering the results separately, it was found that 2.1 The post-test scores of the behavioral responsibility for their own learning were significantly different from pre-test scores at the .05 level. 2.2 The post-test scores of the behavioral responsibility for the instructor were significantly different from pre-test scores at the .05 level. 2.3 The post-test scores of the behavioral responsibility for the peers were not statistically significant. 3. For undergraduate students with high level of responsibility, their behavioral responsibility for their own learning, for the instructor, and for the peers were not statistically significant. 4. For undergraduate students with low basic level of responsibility, the post-test scores of their behavioral responsibility for their own learning, for the instructor, and for the peers were significantly different from pre-test scores at the .05 level.
