Influencing Factor Analysis of College Students’ Learning Interest in Specialized Courses by Rough Set Theory

The learning interest plays an important role in college students’ specialized course learning and teachers pay much attention to it in teaching activities. In this paper, first, a questionnaire survey is administered and related data collected; and then by using rough set theory the relationship between students’ interest in specialized course and the influencing factors is analyzed; and when the data for importance degree of all the factors are known, theoretical foundation about how to improve students’ interest in specialized course teaching activities is established. And with MyRS tool, it is concluded that teaching level of specialized courses is the most important to college students’ learning interest.
