Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the stakeholder needs for the development of the Sports Science and Recreation for Health Program at Phuket Rajabhat University. The study employed a mixed-method research design, integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with a sample of 310 stakeholders. Data analysis included percentages, means, standard deviations, and content analysis. The findings revealed that stakeholder needs were at a high level across all dimensions, with the Character dimension receiving the highest mean score, followed by Ethics, Knowledge, and Skills, respectively. Furthermore, the stakeholder needs for program development encompassed four essential dimensions: Knowledge, comprising both theoretical and practical knowledge in the field as specified by the curriculum; Skills, including both soft skills and hard skills relevant to the discipline; Ethics, encompassing moral and ethical values, integrity, positive professional attitudes, and demonstration of good social conduct; and Character, comprising good personality, physical appearance, robust health, self-confidence, leadership qualities, and assertiveness. Additionally, the findings suggest that program management must be aligned with current situations and keep pace with advancements in sports science and recreation for health.
