    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AMH International (E-Journals) Journal of Education and Vocational Research Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 26-35, Apr 2011 Tourism Education at the Tertiary Level and Competitive Advantage: A Comparison between Thailand and Malaysia Thavorn Thitthongkam, John Walsh* School of Management, Shinawatra University, Thailand *[email protected] Abstract: Language plays an imperative role in business as a means and a source of power. It is particularly important in the tourism industry when international customers may be unable to communicate directly with service providers in the receiving country, and this has a direct effect on the level of satisfaction that they enjoy during their experience. To address this issue, countries attempt to various degrees to manage their labour markets so as to produce a number of graduates from secondary and tertiary level educational institutions commensurate with the demand from the sector. However, this is quite a young industry at the global level, and it is not clear to what extent the number and quality of such graduates with international language ability will be required. This paper studies the comparative extent of such education at the tertiary level of individuals in both Thailand and Malaysia. It aims to compare the number and variety of people being trained in the tourism and hospitality industry and the extent to which languages are being taught. Results show that there is something of a disconnection between the languages provided and the languages that tourists desire in terms of their mother tongue.

  • The Thailand Qualification Framework: Similarities and Differences in the Measured and Desired Attributes
    THE THAILAND QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN THE MEASURED AND DESIRED ATTRIBUTES Pisoot Thankdenchai Department of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, SripatumUniversity Chandhaluk Heesawat Graduate School, Stamford International University ABSTRACT There is a mismatch between employers’ expectations of the abilities of new graduate employees, and the realities. This paper synthesizes studies which deal with this mismatch. It reviews previous studies of quality assurance standards, expectations, and actual measurement. In the ‘Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education’ (TQF: HEd), five dimensions evaluate the attributes of all freshly recruited graduates. Content analysis has been used to examine annual TQF Assessment Reports of 20 universities in Thailand. The key five domains of the Office of Higher Education Council (OHEC), were compared with the desired attributes synthesized from previous research into the assessments of graduates’ Thai employers. In those previous studies, the most desirable attributes were categorized into twenty-five items. The recommendation in this paper is to add some attributes, such as the Domain of Psychomotor Skills (Arit.chandra.ac.th, n.d., p.2); and decrease the five domains to only three, in accordance with the National Education Act, 1999 (Thai year 2542). Three main latent attributes have been examined to cover the three perspectives, which were: A) Academic knowledge to provide foundation for their further development; B) Practical knowledge which directly transforms into work readiness; and C) Ethical and moral mindsets to perform professional practices. The most important was defined as professional ethics. The integration of the findings, resulting from the interpretation of the variables, constructs, models and meanings, is shown in the Appendices, categorized by the three types of stakeholders: Students, Job Candidates, and Employers.
