ANALYSIS OF FACTOR EFFECTING LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENT

Abstract

The research purpose of Analysis of Factor Effecting Level of Knowledge for University Student is to gather requirements from students toward level of student knowledge in the area of advisory topics. The survey is conducted in the Faculty of Business Administration, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi with the population of 385 students from 1st -4th year. The independent variables consist of gender, age, birthplace, year of study, curriculum, and monthly allowance from parents (for personal expenses) and dependent variable is the Level of knowledge related to the study. The statistical measures used in the data analysis were percentage, average, and standard deviation. To analyze the difference, independent t-test is used for two-sample groups; One-Way ANOVA is applied to those containing more than two groups. Lastly, paired LSD (Least Significant Difference) was used to analyze the significance of improvement. The hypothesis testing revealed that the student’s level of knowledge related to the study can be ranked from lowest to highest as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students. The 4th year student knowledge of study is higher than 1st and 2nd but less than 3rd year. The 4th year students do not pay much attention to knowledge of both curriculum and study related because they are close to the graduation. While the rest of the students (1st-3rd year) are in the registration period of selective course and major, so they pay more attentions to the knowledge. As a result, the advisory teacher will use this research as a guideline to advice students who are their advisees.
