The thesis titled The Instructional Model to Strengthen Comprehensive Humanization for Higher Education Students is a Mixed Method Research based on quantitative and qualitative research that get Research and Development (R&D) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) together. The objectives of the research as follow: 1) to analyze the characteristics of Comprehensive Humanization for higher education students, 2) to create the instructional model to strengthen Comprehensive Humanization for higher education students, and 3) to study the results of applying the instructional model to strengthen Comprehensive Humanization for higher education students. Population used to collect data was the students who had enrolled in 071416 Man and Environment and Sustainable Development in Second Semester of Academic Year 2018, total of 32 students as the target group. The instruments used in research were the guidebook of the Instructional Model to Strengthen Comprehensive Humanization, the assessment form of Comprehensive Humanization characteristic from rating scale, situational test, satisfaction evaluation, opinion survey and focus group discussion. Data were analyzed by content analysis, mean (xˉ) and Standard Deviation (SD), Item-Objective Congruence Index (IOC), t-test and Cronbach’s coefficient. The results revealed that 1) The Comprehensive Humanization characteristic for higher education students has 3 aspects which are 1) the Comprehensive Humanization characteristic in Behavioral side, the students should know the rights and duties of oneself and others, understand oneself and others, understand the differences in the society and conserve the environment.

Most of students satisfied the course outline used CELER Model at high and the highest level in each course outline, and they satisfied the fourth course outline at the highest level in each step. When classified by step, it found that 84.38 percent of students satisfied Step L: Learning for living at the highest level (xˉ 4.84, SD 0.36) which was higher than other steps.
