Chula puts ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ on curriculum
Chulalongkorn University has partnered with PacRim Education to introduce the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People for College Students” as part of its curriculum.
The seven habits are based on principles developed by US educator Stephen R Covey and will be offered in the “Learning & Embracing Life Skills” elective course from the second semester this year.
The new GenEd course will aid self-development and benefit students in their future careers, said the university.
According to Associate Professor Nuvee Prapasarakul, director of General Education, students on the course will learn about the proactive mindset, setting life goals, daily activity planning, listening skills, negotiation techniques, and the life-long learning approach.
Porntip Iyimapun, CEO of the PacRim Group consultancy, said the “7 Habits” are highly popular in both the corporate and education worlds. Their introduction by Chula would aid development of high-quality human resources for Thailand, she said.
