Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the students’ attitudes towards the Sustainable Tourism Management Course and to compare the attitudes of the students with different GPAs towards the Sustainable Tourism Management Course. The population of this study consisted of 23 third-year students majoring in Tourism Industry at the Trang Center, Suan Dusit University. These students were studying the first semester of the 2013 academic year. The research instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The statistics used in this research study consisted of percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The research revealed the following findings. Most students received GPAs in the range of 2.51 - 3.00. The students’ average attitude towards learning was at the highest level. The comparison between with the students’ GPAs and the attitudes toward learning disclosed that students with GPAs of 3.01 - 3.50 had different attitudes from the students with GPAs between 2.51 - 3.00 and the students with GPAs of less than 2.50. In other words, the students in the first group had more positive attitudes towards learning than the students with the lower levels of GPAs. In particular, the students with GPAs of 3.01 - 3.50 and the students with GPAs of 2.51 - 3.00 had more positive attitudes towards learning than students with the GPA of less than 2.50, in terms of cognition and behavior. The students with GPAs of less than 2.50 had positive attitudes towards learning, in terms of feelings and emotions, of the highest level.
