Analysis on Factors Influencing Undergraduate's Learning Interest

Abstract

The paper systematically analyzes potential factors influencing learning interest of university students. The sample is recruited from a survey on learning interest on students of the Grade 2013 of Institute of Tourism, Convention and Exhibition Economics and Management at Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics. We have found that, the recognition of the importance of expertise knowledge on future work, the interaction during teaching and learning, and the responsibility assumed by teachers, have significant positive effects on students' interest in learning. On the other hand, gender of students, adoption of new technology on teaching, and several other factors play no role on the learning interest of students. Index Terms - Interest in learning. Influencing factors. Ordered Logistic model improving teaching method, the paper mainly explores the effect of external cause on students' learning interest in the teaching process. This paper builds models with Ordered Logistic model, and makes ordered analysis to the external causes affecting the learning interest through SPSS software to observe the effect of these factors on the learning interest so as to provide some countermeasures and suggestions for improving students' learning interest and the teaching methods. 2. Model Building Ordered Logistic model is a non-linear probability model to estimate the coefficient and residual in the way of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The model is as follows: Where, is a dependent variable, is an independent variable, is the error term, and is the estimated parameter of the model. In the model, we assume that distributes based on Logistic. is a latent variable, and cannot be directly observed, therefore, the probability of has to be estimated through the observed with the relationship between the two as follows: if
