This study was designed to identify factors affecting the educational effect of Agriculture Meister College education programs with the sample of Agriculture Meister College students. The study set up a general structural model which included accessibility, self-efficacy, and social norm as exogenous variables and perceived easiness, perceived usefulness, attitude, and educational effect as endogenous variables. The result proved the model to be a good enough to understand the educational effect of Agricultural Meister Program based on the goodness fit statistical results. According to the results of parameter estimates and significance, easiness and usefulness among the endogenous variables were identified having direct effects on the educational effect, key endogenous variable. Meanwhile, only accessibility was found having direct effect on the educational effect. In addition, accessibility and self-efficacy were determined having indirect effects on the educational effect through easiness as an intervening variable. Further, self-efficacy and social norm were identified having indirect effects on the educational effect via usefulness. To sum up these results, it is suggested that easiness and usefulness are important variables compared to attitude as endogenous variables in the model.
