摘要：Psychomotor domain involves physical movement, coordination and applied motor-skill areas, where substantial practices are needed in order to develop these skills overtime. Assessment of psychomotor domain can be carried out in aspects of speed, precision, distance, procedures. The attainment for program outcomes under psychomotor domain can be measured by using direct and explicit assessment. Majority of the lecturers lack the necessary practical experience to relate with fundamentals in order to practice and to give examples resulted in the students not being able to relate theory with practice and apply their knowledge to solve practical problems. This paper identifies the important attributes of students in attaining psychomotor skills in laboratory courses using a program outcome (PO) related to investigation aspects. Majority of the respondents indicated that they have acquired the necessary skills under psychomotor domain related to problem identification, procedure determination, apparatus usage, data collection, results interpretation and proposition of viable solutions. Direct attainment shows that the students passed the PO designed for the laboratory courses. Using relative important index (RII), important factors influencing students’ attainment on psychomotor skills are the condition of equipment in the laboratories, lecturers’ clear instructions before the student conduct experiment and the conducive environment to conduct experiment. A conducive environment with adequate equipment and supported by lecturers to carry out effective investigation give opportunity to the students to acquire and improve their psychomotor skills. This study is important to understand psychomotor elements attained by the students and how assessment is carried out effectively.
