Abstract

This research was aimed to 1) study the factors’ resource of learning management of computer law subject in the institutions of higher education in Nakhon Ratchasima province and 2) to analyze the learning impact factors in computer law subject which affected the learning outcomes. A group sampling was 400 students selected from the 4 institutions of higher education in Nakhon Ratchasima province. Research instruments included questionnaires analyzed by the PLS-SEM to measure the relationship among variables. The results of the research revealed that: 1) the learning factors in computer law subject were knowledge exchange, training techniques and method, education technologies, learning processes, individual learning, learning evaluation, and learning achievement. The main problems included practical knowledge of learners, instructional fairness to learners, opinion and intention of instructors should be focused on; and 2) the analysis of the learning impact factors using the Outer and Inner prototype showed the accurate and reliable results.


Regarding the learning impact factors, the results are as follows;


       1) the knowledge exchange had an direct impact on the learning achievement and indirect one through the learning evaluation, 2) Training techniques and method could influence directly to the learning achievement and indirectly to the learning process; and 3) the adaptation of education technologies illustrated the direct impact on the learning achievement.  From these aspects, this study provides a better understanding on the improvement of training models and can be adjusted to the learning processes of computer law subject towards the current situation. This hopefully can be a guideline for other researchers.
