An Analysis of Technology Skills Based on Perspectives and Resident Locations for the Sports Science Students

摘要

Soft skill of technological capabilities for Sport Science Students are very important in learning science. This research wanted to analyze the stage of students' technology skills in learning science based on their perspectives and to compare it based on the location of students in Padang City. The method of study was quantitative research. The total sample is 449 Sport Science Students, they are 205 people from in the city, 141 from the border and 103 from the suburb. The proportional random sampling method selected the sample based on students' resident. Analysis of research used one-way ANOVA with multiple regression tests. The results showed that the phase of high technical skills of students was not different based on location but there were significant differences in students' technology skills based on their location, where students in the central of the city have higher skills than border and suburb. The result of the research showed that three independent variables such as the learning process, parent and peer support and learning motivation can contribute to increasing the students' technology skills with 27.7 percentages. The learning process gave a contribution of about 20.4 percentages, support parents and peers 5.7 percentages, and academic motivation was 1.6 percent. The implication of this study was to recommend sports science faculty want to design and improve students' academic motivation in the learning of science to concern the suitable condition with the student location.
