The sample group consisted of 400 undergraduate students from higher education institutions in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, selected using Simple Random Sampling. A 5-point rating scale questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. The statistical methods used for data analysis included the Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

The study found that parents' demographic characteristics, specifically their highest educational level and family income, were statistically and significantly related to students' academic achievement. In the context of online learning, which has several limitations, the difficulty of the Calculus course content becomes even more complex. The structural analysis of the relationship between the six causal factors—achievement motivation, academic background, family economic status, family social status, instructional management, and information technology—revealed that the model was consistent with empirical data and could explain 82.0% of the variance in online Calculus academic achievement. The factors, in order of decreasing influence, were family economic status, family social status, instructional management, achievement motivation, academic background, and information technology.

The findings of this research highlight the importance of family's economic and social context, as well as the quality of instructional management and technological support, on students' academic achievement in online Calculus. Key policy recommendations include offering foundational mathematics courses for students before they take Calculus, developing modern technology-based instructional innovations, continuously monitoring and evaluating learning outcomes, and promoting quality interaction between instructors and students to enhance learning effectiveness in an online context.

Kamolwan Rodhring — 2025-12-19

This study analyzed the factors influencing the successful implementation of the Electronic Local Administrative Accounting System (e-LAAS) in Chonburi Province. Guided by the Information-Systems-Success framework of Petter and McLean (2009), the research examined three core antecedents—system quality, information quality, and service quality—and assessed their impacts through two mediators, user satisfaction and managerial efficiency support, on overall system success. Data were collected via questionnaires from personnel in 99 local administrative organizations (LAOs) that had successfully recorded accounting transactions and prepared fiscal-year-2020 (B.E. 2563) financial statements using e-LAAS. The responses were analyzed with descriptive statistics and enter multiple regression to evaluate relationships among the variables.

The results show that system quality, information quality, and service quality each exert a positive, statistically significant influence (p < 0.05) on three dimensions of system success—organizational benefits, effectiveness, and efficiency. Collectively, the three factors explain 76.20 % – 77.80 % of the variance (R²) in each success dimension, with a multiple correlation coefficient (R) of 0.873. Among them, system quality is the most influential predictor, followed by information quality and service quality. These findings offer practical guidance for enhancing e-LAAS: prioritizing robust and user-centric system design, ensuring accurate and reliable data, and improving support services will strengthen user satisfaction and managerial performance, thereby fostering long-term, sustainable adoption of the system across local government organizations.
