Description
This survey research aimed to 1) study correlations between some factors on student persistence, 2) study influences of some factors on student persistence, and 3) create regression equation for predicting student persistence in Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University. The sample were 787 graduated students of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University which were selected by accidental sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect the data and analyze the data; percentage, correlation, coefficient of determination, and multiple regression analysis. The results were:
1) There were some correlations between each factor on student persistence; master degree program had the highest correlation = .76, 4-year bachelor degree program had the highest correlation = .30, 3-year bachelor degree program had the highest correlation = .32, and 2-year bachelor degree program had the highest correlation = .54.
2) Some predictor factors had the influences on student persistence; master degree program had coefficient of determination (R2) = 84%, 4-year bachelor degree program had coefficient of determination (R2) = 6%, 3-year bachelor degree program had coefficient of determination (R2) = 24%, and 2-year bachelor degree program had coefficient of determination (R2) = 20%.
3) Some factors can be formulated to predict the variation on student persistence: regression equation; for all master degree program, 4-year bachelor degree program, 3-year bachelor degree program, and 2-year bachelor degree program.
