Causal Factor Affecting of Becoming a Qualified Chemist of Chemistry Students in Thailand
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many Factors were enhanced by qualified chemists as perceived by teachers, lecturers, and chemist staff in Thailand. There were interesting to see what factors will influence the becoming a qualified chemist of chemistry students in Thailand. The purpose of this study was to causal factor affecting becoming a qualified chemist of chemistry students in Thailand. The samples were 550 third- and fourth-year chemistry students. The online respondents were 586. Data was collected using an online questionnaire which consisted of 3 parts: general information, becoming a qualified chemist, and the factors that influenced becoming a qualified chemist. The path analysis of the structural equation model used PLS-SEM. The results showed that 10 paths were statistically significant. There were 2 positive influence factors on statistically significant becoming a qualified chemist at the level of .01 consisted of a model of teaching and learning management in chemistry and characteristics of a chemical master person.
