The Attitudes on Differential Equations Learning of Undergraduate Student at Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi: A Case Study of Faculty of Engineering and Architecture

Abstract

          The purpose of this research was to study the attitude on Differential Equations learning of undergraduate students at Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi, Nonthaburi Center. The target group was 41 students of undergraduate students at Rajamangala University of  Technology Suvarnabhumi. The instrument used in this research was the attitude test   on Differential Equations learning. The attitude test composed of 2 parts as : 1) the basic data. 2) The attitude on Differential Equations learning.

          This research was conducted as the descriptive research and the data were   analyzed by using frequency, percentage,  arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The results were as follows: 1) the fundamental data, the undergraduate students in academic year 2014 on Differential Equations course got the grade of learning achievement level at D in basic calculus (31.71 percent, S.D. = 1.75) and the expectations for the grade of Differential Equations course of learning achievement level at C and B about 24.39 percent, S.D. = 1.85. 2) The attitude level on Differential Equations was fair ( = 3.27,  S.D. = .55). The suggestion for the usefulness of research result, the study of the attitude on  Differential Equations learning was the basic data to solving and enhancing Differential Equations achievement for the teacher.
