Abstract

The purposes of this research were (1) to survey the selfregulation behavior of University of Phayao students (2) to survey the online learning behavior of University of Phayao students, and (3) to study factors that influence online learning behavior in general education courses of University of Phayao students. The sample group consisted of 450 students who enrolled for online classes in general education course. The instrument of assessment was a questionnaire form on the self-regulation of an online course and online learning behavior. The data collected were analyzed using a set of standard statistics as follows: mean (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of the research were that (1) the students' self-regulation was mainly on decision-making (M = 3.89; S.D. = 0.62), (2) the students' online learning behavior was mainly on the learner's aspect (M = 3.88; S.D. = 0.77), and (3) the factors that support students' online learning behavior consisted three factors which are self-observation, decision-making, and self-regulation. The Multiple Regression Analysis indicated that self-reaction, selfobservation, and decision-making affected the factors supporting online learning behavior of the general education course of the University, which increased by 0.683 units. This indicated that the self-reaction factor was the most important factor that supports the online learning behavior of the students, followed by the self-observation and the decision-making, respectively. © 2021.
