Abstract
The research article consisted of the following objectives: 1) to investigate factors influencing learner qualities in the digital age of primary schools in Phetchaburi province; and 2) to carry out discriminant analysis of factors influencing learner qualities in the digital age of primary schools in Phetchaburi province. A quantitative research method was used in the study. The instrument used in the study was a questionnaire on factors influencing learner qualities in the digital age of primary schools in Phetchaburi province. The questionnaire had a 5-point Likert scale. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and discriminant analysis.
From the study, the following results were found: 1) Among a high group, factors influencing learner qualities in the digital age of primary schools in Phetchaburi Province were overall at a high level ( = 4.28). When each aspect was examined, it was found that each aspect was at a high level namely, administrators (
= 4.44), school environment (
= 4.41), teachers (
= 4.36), parents (
= 4.12), and students (
= 4.06), respectively. Among the low group, it was overall at a high level (
= 4.10). When each aspect was taken into account, it was discovered that each aspect was at a high level namely, administrators (
= 4.36), school environment (
= 4.33), teachers (
= 4.07), parents (
= 4.00), and students (
= 3.74), respectively. 2) The discriminating factors of learner qualities in the digital age of primary schools in Phetchaburi province were as follows for both the high and low groups: Administrators, referring to change management (x2); Students, referring to attitude towards learning (x10); and Parents, referring to support from parents (x12). The discriminant formula can be as follows: D =-5.033+1.198(x2)-1.941(x10)+1.894(x12).
