This study investigates the students of The United Classes of Calculus at National Central University for the first semester of 2010 Academic Year as research objects, and it explores the relation between their learning behaviors toward the class (e.g., Mathematics confidence, Affective engagement and Behavioural engagement), their attitudes toward the technology (e.g., Perceived of usefulness about EP System, Confidence with technology, Attitude towards use of technology for learning mathematics),and their Calculus learning outcome, terminal Percentile Rank and log-in frequency of EP system.
This study adopts the survey research method, and the collected data of the participative students and the questionnaires with the use of SPSS by factor analysis, correspondence analysis, cluster analysis, path analysis and so on are further analyzed.
The result of the research reveals that high achievement in Calculus is greatly associated with the high level of terminal Percentile Rank, and the mathematics confidence and behavioural engagement also have a positive impact on the Calculus achievement. Besides, the mathematics confidence has a positive influence on the terminal Percentile Rank as well. As for the science and technology, the log-in frequency of EP system is associated with high level of Calculus achievement and terminal Percentile Rank. Other variables, such as the use of technology attitude, confidence in using technology or perceived usefulness of EP system are highly relevant, but the result of them has no correlation with the Calculus achievement. Among the three, only the technology confidence indirectly affects the calculus achievement and class rank through the utilization rate of EP system.
