The purposes of this research were to investigate the desired characteristics of the Applied Thai Program’s graduates of the faculty of Liberal Arts and to compare the graduate users’ personal factors. The subjects were business organizations and executive managers. The research tools were questionnaire and interview. The data were analyzed by percentage mean standard deviation and F-test. The findings were as follows: As for employers’ satisfaction towards the graduates’ qualifications the desirable characteristics of the graduates both overall and within each aspect are at the high level ( x= 3.84). Moral and ethical behavior rated the highest desirable characteristics (x= 4.01) followed by domain of psychomotor skills (x= 3.99) as well as interpersonal skills and responsibility (x= 3.84). As for the comparison of the graduate users’ personal factors it was found that: as for types of business organizations the overall mean value of types of business organizations was not different but the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.01 level. As for positions of graduate users the overall mean value of positions of graduate users was statistically significant at 0.01level. Moreover the mean scores of knowledge and university identity were statistically significant at the level 0.01 while the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior mathematical analysis skills communication skills information technology application skills and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.05 level. As for working experiences the overall mean value of working experiences was not different but the mean scores of university identity was statistically significant at the level 0.05. As for working tenure the overall mean value of working tenure was statistically significant at 0.01level. Moreover the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior knowledge cognitive skills interpersonal skills and responsibility mathematical analysis skills communication skills information technology application skills and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.01level while the mean scores of university identity was statistically significant at the level 0.05. As for employers’ needs the first desired characteristics of the graduates were information technology application skills and basic computer knowledge.

This article aims to synthesize literatures in Educational Robotics and presents key features of systematic literature review and structured meta-analysis of the literature. Population consists of 247 papers from 10 databases ranging from 1996 to 2012. Results show that common problems in Educational Robotics are high cost of tools license and differences in students’ background knowledge. Trends of existing researches focus on development of software and low cost robot training package in order to promote students’ practice in problem-solving skills and teamwork in experience-based learning to enhance self-motivation and experience with real world applications. It was also found from the synthesis that qualitative-based evaluation of tool and learning achievement process was rare even though it is a key factor that indicates quality of learning process.

This research is aimed to study the characteristics of the good citizen of the students of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon and to compare the views on the good citizen characteristics of the students from the above-mentioned university which can be identified by the students’ backgrounds. The research presents the development approaches on the characteristics of the good citizen of the students. The target groups of this research include 1) the executives and 2) the students who registered in the academic year 2012. The research tools consist of the questionnaires and the interviews.
