For the first sub-problem, the frequency and percentage distribution of the variables have been observed, which are considered to regress the success in science and technology. For the second sub-problem, how much the variables, including the time allocated to study science and technology lessons, participation in an educational activity regarding science and technology out of school, the attitude towards the course and the perception of success in the course, regress the success in science and technology have been assessed.
