The data were then analyzed with multiple linear regression techniques. There was a very significant correlation between social support and selfregulation and they simultaneously influence work readiness (r = 0.490, p = 0.000). There was a very significant correlation between social support and work readiness (r = 0.344, p = 0.000). There is a very significant correlation between self-regulation and work readiness (r = 0.490, p = 0.000). Selfregulation plays dominant role in shaping work readiness.

The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66).
