Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the engagement in energy conservation among students of different genders and different classes. The study explored the relationships between students energy conservation behaviors and energy conservation behaviors guided by families, teachers and classmates in order to predict their energy conservation participation behaviors. The research was conducted on a random sample of 1,960 students from Rattanakosinsompoch Bangkhen School in the academic year 2019. A specially-designed questionnaire, with validity of 0.838, was used as the tool. Statistics basics were utilised in the data analysis. The comparative analysis was carried out by testing the differences between means. One-way ANOVA, simple correlation and multiple regression analysis were also applied to the study. Results showed similarities in energy conservation behaviurs among the respondents of different genders, both collectively and individually. When separated into different classes, the respondents engagement in energy conservation differed both collectively and individually. Education given by families and teachers as well as influences from classmates were found to play a vital role in energy conservation among the students. These afore-said factors were also found to help predicted energy consumption and energy efficiency trends among Rattanakosinsompoch Bangkhen School students. According to the study, the percentage of variations in energy conservation behaviors among the students is 37.4 percent.
