Abstract

Comparisons of learning achievement on intensive preparation in mathematics, Faculty of Science and Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi in academic year 2015. The objectives were to: 1) Study the students’ learning achievement in mathematics for Bachelor’s Degree in the Faculty of Science and Technology in the academic year 2015, 2) Study student’s satisfaction in intensive preparation in mathematics. The target group included 110 first year students in the Bachelor’s Degree in Faculty of Science and Technology program in the academic year 2015. The study instruments were pre-test, post-test and a satisfaction questionnaire about intensive preparation in mathematics. The research instruments were exercises for standard test development and an index of item objective congruence analysis (IOC = 0.91). The collected data were analyzed by Frequency, Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation.

The research outcomes have been concluded as follows: 1) Learning achievement in the intensive preparation of mathematics course for pre-test and post-test for Bachelor’s Degree in the Faculty of Science and Technology in academic year 2015 was different. 2) The students in the Faculty of Science and Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi had satisfaction at a high level on intensive preparation in mathematics ( = 4.35 S.D. = 0.53). When considering each aspect, the highest level of satisfaction was reported regarding the place ( = 4.51 S.D. = 0.63) and instructional media ( = 4.39 S.D. = 0.60), the teacher ( = 4.38 S.D. = 0.60), the assessment ( = 4.31 S.D. = 0.66) and the application description ( = 4.13 S.D. = 0.73).
