Factor analysis of anxiety for selecting the statistic research of student's faculty of Engineering Rajamangala University of TechnologyIsan, Khon Kaen Campus
Abstract:
The research aimed to study the factor of anxiety for selecting the statistic
research of student's faculty of Engineering Rajamangala University of Technology
Isan KhonKaen Campus. The sample selected by random sampling the students from
Faculty of Engineering who studied the course of project in second semester as 277
person. The statistic for analyzed namely frequency, mean, percentage, standard
deviation, factor analysis and multiple regression
The results indicated following 1. The component analyzed by component
extraction with Principal axis factoring and Varimax .As the consequences founded 12
factors that anxiety for selecting the statistic research of student's including the anxiety
in classroom, fear of statistic term, Anxiety in statistical interpretation, calculation with
self-concept, Interested in statistics, Fear in the selection of statistics. Fear of exams ,
Anxiety before exams, Anxiety in the statistical calculations. the benefits of the statistics
in study, attitudes toward statistics, benefit of the statistic in career.
All of elements able to explained 62.42 percent entire variances. 2. Equation
anxiety levels for selecting the statistic of student's faculty of Engineering
Rajamangala University of Technology Isan, Khon Kaen Campus with raw scores as
Yˆ 2.80 0.09X1 0.08X2 0.08X3 0.06X7 0.06X8 0.03X11 0.04X12 and z scores as
Z 0.32Z1 0.28Z2 0.30Z3 0.21Z7 0.20Z8 0.11Z11 0.16Z12
Therefore, the most variable that influencing anxiety for selecting the statistic
research is if increasing the level of anxiety in classroom, Anxiety in statistical
interpretation, fear of statistic term, Anxiety before exams, Fear of exams, benefit of the
statistic in career attitudes toward statistics respectively.
