After educational reforms in Taiwan, universities have expanded rapidly, allowing almost everyone to pursue higher education. However, a concerning increase in college students’class skipping behavior has been observed. This study aims to analyze the potential reasons behind college students’inclination to skip classes. Using a renowned private university in northern Taiwan as a case study, the research conducted questionnaire surveys and employed factor analysis and regression analysis to elucidate the significance of these reasons. The study delves into the potential fac¬tors contributing to class skipping behavior among college students, with the intention of providing insights for educators and higher education administrators. These insights can inform future curriculum planning, class scheduling, understanding student attitudes, and administrative management within higher education institutions. The research findings reveal that a significant 75.5% of college stu¬dents have experienced class skipping, indicating a noteworthy prevalence of this behavior that warrants attention from educational institutions and instructors. The study results indicate the following key points: 1. The constructed research questionnaire tool possesses measurement reliabil¬ity and validity for class skipping factors; 2. Personal excuses and rebel¬lious attitudes are primary influencers of class skipping; 3. The school’s learning environment and curriculum planning, in terms of professionalism and future relevance, exhibit substantial correlations with students’class skipping behavior; and 4. The appearance of instructors holds sway over students’perceptions and values across different generations. The questionnaire developed in this study and its outcomes offer valuable ref¬erence material for various university institutions to mitigate and address the issue of class skipping among college students, thereby cultivating a more exceptional talent pool in Taiwan’s higher education. |
