Pratarn Wasawanon.  1998.  Causal Factors Related to Lesson Planning Behavior of Government Secondary
School Teachers in Ubonrachatanee Province.  Dissertation, M.S. (Behavioral Sciencee) Behavioral Science
Research Institute. 


               This research had three objectives  : 1) to find out the effective predictors of lesson planning
behavior from such variables as intention to make lesson plan, perceived behavioral control ability in lesson
planning and past lesson planning behavior. 2) to find out the effective predictors of the intention to make lesson
plan from attitude towards lesson planning behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control ablility. 3) to
study the relationship between :- 3.1  attitude towards lesson planning behavior and behavioral beliefs and evaluation
of outcomes 3.2  subjective norm and normative belief and motivation to comply 3.3  perceived behavioral control
and control beliefs and perceived Influence of opposing factors. 
                    The data were obtained from 305  government secondary school teachers who were selected  by
cluster random sampling. Nine questionnaires developed by the researcher were used to collect the data. The logistic
regression, stepwise multiple regression and t-test were used in data analysis. 
                    The results were as follows : 
                    1)  Past behavior of lesson planning and perceived behavioral control ability could predict  77.11%  of
lesson planning behavior at the first period of the given week. 
                    2)  Intention to make lesson plan, perceived behavioral control ability and past lesson planning behavior
could predict  58.98 %  of lesson planning behavior for the whole week. Only past behavior of lesson planning
could predict lesson planning behavior over the one week period significantly at .001 (R2  = .5898). 
                         3) Perceived behavioral control ability, subjective norm and attitude toward lesson planning behavior
could predict 33.47 % of the intention to make lesson plan for the first period of the given week. The first and third
variables were significant at .001. 
                    4)  Percived behavioral control ability subjective norm and attitude toward lesson planing behavior
could predict 36.58 %  of the intention to make lesson plan over one week period. The first and the second variables
were significantly at .001. 
                    5)  Attitude towards lesson planning behavior was related to behavioral beliefs and evaluation of
outcome significantly at .001 (r= .6113). 
                    6)  Subjective norm was related with normative belief and motivation to comply significantly at .001(r=
.4950) 
                    7)  Perceived behavioral control ability was related to control beliefs and perceived influence of
opposing factors significantly at .05 (r= .1330).
