HRM Model Canvas2 (HRM-MC2)

This study explores the development and application of the HRM Canvas, an innovative educational tool designed to simplify the teaching of Human Resource Management (HRM) for all UiTM students taking this course, especially those pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, and specifically to non-business students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Recent observations indicate that 68% of students without a business background struggle with HRM concepts, impacting their academic performance. In response, the HRM Canvas employs story-telling and visual methods to enhance understanding and engagement. The HRM Canvas addresses the condensed teaching schedule of the new HRM433 course, which is mandatory for students outside the business faculty. This course spans only 7 weeks, with intensive 6-hour weekly sessions, necessitating efficient teaching methods. The Canvas provides a structured and interactive approach, covering essential HRM topics such as workforce planning, job analysis, training and development, recruitment, and performance management. The novelty of the HRM Canvas lies in its ability to transform traditional HRM education. It integrates key activities and terminologies within a cohesive framework, making complex concepts accessible to all students. This tool has significant potential for broader application in various educational settings, from university courses to corporate training programs. In its current iteration (HRM-MC2), the HRM Canvas has achieved a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3, with plans for further refinement and enhancement. By improving comprehension and academic performance in HRM, the HRM Canvas aims to better prepare graduates for real-world HRM challenges. This study underscores the importance of innovative educational tools in bridging knowledge gaps and promoting academic success across diverse student populations.
