Abstract
This research aims to 1) study the relationship between factors and Thai dance performance skills, 2) identify and construct a predictive equation for factors affecting Thai dance performance skills, and 3) identify and construct the most efficient predictive equation affecting Thai dance performance skills. The sample group consisted of 700 undergraduate students in years 1-4 from the Dance Education program at Rattanakosin Group Rajabhat Universities for the academic year 2024, selected by stratified random sampling. The research instruments included a Thai dance performance skills assessment form and a questionnaire on factors affecting Thai dance performance skills. Statistics used for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The research findings revealed that: 1) The overall level of factors and Thai dance performance skills had means at the highest level; 2) The relationship between factors affecting Thai dance performance skills showed correlation coefficients between 0.128 and 0.754, with positive relationships and statistical significance at the .05 level for all pairs; 3) The predictive equations for factors affecting Thai dance performance skills in both raw scores and standardized scores were as follows:
Y = .477 + .166MOT* + .137ATT* + .133DSC* + .131PER* + .094ENV* + .068EXP* + .068CON* + .060TRN* + .025INS + .013FAM
Zy = .256MOT* + .243DSC* + .241ATT* + .232PER* + .172ENV* + .125CON* + .113EXP* + .089TRN* + .039INS + .024FAM
And 4) The most efficient predictive equation affecting Thai dance performance skills in raw scores and standardized scores were as follows:
Y = .476 + .088ENV* + .134DSC* + .041TRN* + .191MOT* + .134PER* + .155ATT* + .073CON* + .080EXP*
Zy = .161ENV* + .245DSC* + .061TRN* + .294MOT* + .237PER* + .272ATT* + .133CON* + .134EXP*
