However, this selection becomes complicated due to the increasing number of graduates especially in mathematics field. Hence, this project aims to model the suitability of employment among mathematics graduates. Analysis was done by using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 20 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Since the response variable for this study is of a binary nature which is appropriate or inappropriate of perceptions on suitability of employment, the logistic regression model was applied. The first analysis is based on Logistic regression which involved both SSM and SSE graduates. A total of 40 respondents were included. The second analysis is based on Logistic regression which involved only SSM graduates. A total of 33 respondents were included. In this project, it is concluded that co-curriculum and influence of institute was the significant factors that influenced the perceptions on suitability of employment among mathematics graduates for the logistic regression that involved both SSM and SSE programme while for the logistic regression that only involved SSM programme, it concluded that ethnic, CGPA, cocurrriculum and influence of institute was the significant factor that influenced the perceptions on suitability of employment among mathematics graduates. 2014-06 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53798/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53798/25/HeirnizahMelatiJamriMFS2014.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:86007 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Science Faculty of Science |
