Abstract
This research aimed to develop the competency standard of industrial mentors in work-integrated learning (WiL) and developed a tool to assess the competency standards of industry mentors. The research was carried out as follows: Phase 1: Developing the competency standards of industrial mentors in work-integrated learning using functional analysis techniques conducted a focus group discussion with 22 experts providing information. Phase 2: Establishment of a tool for evaluating industry mentors' competency standards conducted a focus group discussion to synthesize data and prepare a competency assessment tool from 22 experts. Then use the competency assessment tools, including multiple choice exams, interview exams, and portfolio questions for 5 experts to check for consistency between questionnaires and objectives or contents to be measured in each type of assessment tool, and bring the assessment tools to trial with employees assigned as mentors of undergraduate students in work-integrated learning of 60 people with selective selection. The results showed that industrial mentors were divided into 2 levels. The industrial mentors at both levels have the same key functions, namely, management of learning to develop learners’ competency in accordance with the learning outcomes of the curriculum/establishment. For industrial mentor level 2, there are more key functions, including measuring and evaluating learners' learning outcomes in accordance with the learning outcomes of the course/establishment. A tool for evaluating the competency of industry mentors is 20 multiple-choice questions, 5 interview questions, and 1 portfolio.
