This research aimed to investigate the stakeholder needs for the development of the Sports Science and Recreation for Health Program at Phuket Rajabhat University. The study employed a mixed-method research design, integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The sample consisted of 310 stakeholders. Data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The findings revealed that: 1) Stakeholder needs were at a high level across all dimensions, with Character showing the highest mean, followed by Ethics, Knowledge, and Skills dimensions respectively. 2) The stakeholder needs for program development encompassed four essential dimensions: (1) Knowledge - both theoretical and practical knowledge in the field as specified by the curriculum; (2) Skills - comprising both soft skills and hard skills relevant to the discipline; (3) Ethics - encompassing moral and ethical values, integrity, positive professional attitudes, and demonstration of good social conduct; and (4) Character - including good personality, physical appearance, and robust health, self-confidence, leadership qualities, and assertiveness. Additionally, the findings suggest that program management must be aligned with current situations and keep pace with advancements in sports science and health developments.
