Cognitive Domain Achievement Level among Reserve Officers Training Team (PALAPES)

This study was conducted to determine the level of cognitive domain among Reserve Officers Training Team (PALAPES) after underwent three years of training module. 105 PALAPES cadet officers were recruited as participants in this study. Co-curriculum index assessments (IPKo) was used to assess cognitive domain achievement level. Results showed all the cadets are only at the ‘good’ and ‘moderate’ level in all given cognitive items; i) Management: 73.3% ‘good’ and 26.7% ‘moderate’, mean = 3.73, ii) Safety: 66.7% ‘good’ and 33.3% ‘moderate’, mean = 3.67, iii) Regulations: 73.3% ‘good’ and 26.7% ‘moderate’, mean = 3.73, iv) Protocol: 82.9% ‘good’ and 17.1% ‘moderate’, mean = 3.83. The overall cognitive mean was at a ‘good level’ of 3.74. Results demonstrate the advantages for the university students to involved in co-curricular activities such as PALAPES in enhancing cognitive ability.
