Abstract

          This survey research aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the field exp- erience work,   study the problems and obstacles in work,   and explore the strategies  for  developing the efficiency of the field experience work at the faculty of humanities and social sciences,   Chiang Mai Rajabhat University in the second semester of 2016.  The example groups in this research were 1) 377 students attending the field experience course, 2) 67 university sup- ervisors, and 3) 138 organizations’ administrators or chiefs. The study was collected using questionnaires. Statistics used in the research were percen- tage, mean, and standard deviation. The result provided that the filed exp- erience work is quite effective. However, there were still some problems as follows   1) some students were assigned to do things which were different from what they had learned 2) the next batch of students should not be se- nt to some organizations  3) There were some students who lacked inform- ation about their workplace  4) some students did not have enough knowl- edge   5) there was little workload for students  6) the students did not gain enough experience from work  7) there were some problems about finding a place to work    8) the filed experience work program was not enough for student     9) the time of supervision between teachers and students did not match      10) some organizations did not want the next batch of students to work with them and   11) The university did not receive the evaluation fro- m some organizations because it was sent back slowly or it was disappear- ed.  From the study of problems and obstacles,  it was new strategies to de- velop the process as follows   1) the division, department, or faculty should arrange  the project  that older batch student give advice to the next batch students 2) the students should be trained various skills, such as language- s, office equipment, computer, and working under pressure 3) students sh- ould be supervised by their advisors 4) the evaluation after finishing work ing should be done online in order to reduce the problems of tracking eva- luation paper.
