Analysis of Classified Decision Factors the continuity Vocational Education of the Students in the Chiangrai Office of Education Service Area 1

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the classified decision factors in continuity Vocational Education of the Students in  the Chiangrai Office of Education Service Area 1 . The samples consisted of students who enrolled in the one-year vocational certificate level and students who were studying in 4th year of high schools in the academic year 2553. The samples were selected of stratified random sample technique. Data were collected by the series of questionnaires with the reliability level at 0.97 The statistical data were analyzed by percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and a discriminant analysis type stepwise method.

The findings are as follows :

1. The factors in fluently the students decision in continuity vocational education included 5 factors : grade point average (GPA), number of children with the same parents, distance of between home to school , others acceptance, and parents income. The equation of group classification could correctly identify the two groups with 68.4 percent. The student group which decided continue study of at the 1 level of vocational certificate could be correctly identified by the equation at 67.2 percent ,and the group first decided to continue matthayom 4 which was correctly identified append by the equation at 68.4 percent.

1. The Discriminant Canonical Equation for raw scores as follow

Y  = -6.301 + 1.127X (Gtotal) + 1.042X (Grade) -.331X (Numfamil)

-.007X(Distance) + .000X (Income)

The Discriminant Canonical Equation for standard scores as follow

Z =   .540 Z (Grade)  -.465Z (Numfamil) -.411Z (Distance) + .314Z (Gtotal)

+ .301Z (Income)
