STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING ANALYSIS FACTORS INFLUENCING ANALYTICAL THINKING OF THE STUDENTS IN SECONDARY EDUCATION GRADE 10-12 การวิเคราะห์โมเดลสมการโครงสร้างของปัจจัยที่ส่งผลต่อการคิดวิเคราะห์ ของนักเรียนระดับชั้นมัธยมศึกษาตอนปลาย

Abstract

The purpose of this research is 1) To study the relationship between elements of various factors with the Analytical thinking of the Students in Secondary Education Grade 10-12. 2) In order to verify
the consistency structure equation modeling of the factors to influence the Analytical thinking of the Students in Secondary Education Grade 10-12 with empirical data. And 3) To study the influence of direct influence of indirect and total influence of factors to influence the Analytical thinking of the Students in Secondary Education Grade 10-12. Samples are students of Secondary Education, Grade 10-12 of Secondary Educational Service Area Office 38 (Sukhothai-Tak) for 450 vocational certificate students selected by Multi-stage Random Sampling. The research tool is a Multiple choice and rating scale measurement students. Structural Equation Modeling Analysis is applied in data analysis with computer software package. The results revealed that: 1) The manifest variables within the model had a significant relationship. Statistical values at the .01 level of 171 values were statistically significant. 133 values indicated a positive value of 156; negative values were 15 and the correlation coefficient was between -0.122 to 0.7678. 2) The Model was consistent with the empirical data ( =107.025, df = 86, p-value = 0.0620, RMSEA = 0.023). And 3) There were 3 total effect factors on analytical thinking with statistical significant level of .01.; The learning environment (0.989**), Teaching behaviors of teacher (0.756**) and attitudes towards learning (0.448**). The indirect influence factors were the learning Environment (0.989**), Teaching behaviors of teacher (0.737**) and attitudes towards learning (0.517**).
