PUPATANA, SOMSUDA, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, September 1984, Some Determinants of Agricultural Student Performance of Selected Secondary Schools Offering Vocational Agriculture in Educational Region I, Thailand. Major Professor: Dr. J. B. Valera
The study aimed to identify some determinants of agricultural student performance of selected secondary schools offering vocational agriculture in Educational Region I, Thailand.
The 32 secondary schools, 109 agricultural teachers, and 436 students with option in agriculture were randomly selected throughout the 4 provinces namely Nakornprathom, Prathumthani, Nonthaburi, and Samutprakarn. The data were gathered through questionnaire and observation.
Most agricultural teaching behaviors were classified as "good" and "very good". Student performance was determined through student attitude, skill and academic achievement.
Student attitudes was generally rated "good", skills were on the level of "satisfactory" and "needs improvement", and while grades were from "3" (good) to "4" (excellent).
The determinants of students’ attitude were (a) grade expectation, (b) teaching behavior, (c) mother occupation, (d) father expectation, (e) class area, (f) noise, (g) chalk-board, (h) student agricultural experiences, and (i) teacher's age. The R? value was 24 percent.
The determinants of students’ skills covered (a) student age, (b) mother occupation, (c) teaching load, (d) grade expectation, (e) student sex, (f) administrator-teachers ratio, (g) class size, (h) instructional media, (i) class ventilation, and (j) student agricultural experiences. The R? Was 37 percent.
The determinants of students' academic achievement were (a) grade expectation, (b) student sex, (c) type of subject, (d) teacher additional income, (e) student age, (f) teaching experiences, (g) lighting, (h) teaching load. The R- value was 2 percent.
Factors affecting teaching behavior were student age, student family size, father expectation, mother education, student's plan after graduated, teachers’ service load, student sex, and teaching experiences.
Implications of the study are;
1. Two main factors affecting student performance were student background, and combination of school learning environment, teaching behavior, and teacher variables.
2. School administration indirectly contributed more to student performance through the quality of provision of learning facilities, and personnel management.
3. Teaching behavior was an important determinant of student performance, and determined by teacher and student variables. The quality of agricultural teachers should be promoted.
4. Student backgrounds, particularly, grade expectation and his/her father expectation played a crucial role on his/her performance in schools.
