Abstract Objective: There has been increased attention in recent years to mental health, quality of life, stress and academic performance among university students, and the possible influence of learning styles. Brief reliable questionnaires are useful in large-scale multivariate research designs, such as the largely survey-based research on well-being and academic performance of university students. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a briefer version of the 39-item Adelaide Diagnostic Learning Inventory. Results: In two survey samples - medical and physiotherapy students - a 21-item version Adelaide Diagnostic Learning Inventory - Brief (ADLIB) was shown to have the same factor structure as the parent instrument, and the factor structure of the brief instrument was found to generalise across students of medicine and physiotherapy. Sub-scale reliability estimations were in the order of magnitude of the parent instrument. Sub-scale inter-correlations, inter-factor congruence coefficients, and correlations between ADLIB sub-scale scores and several external measures provide support support for the construct and criterion validity of the instrument.

This paper is to investigate the effect of google usage on uumsqs final yearstudents’ academic performance. The scope of this paper is focusing on studying the effects of google usage on university utaramalaysia (uum) students’ academic performance. This study has been carried out among final year students of school of quantitative science (sqs) by did survey through asking respondents for information using written questioning which is questionnaire.

The present study is focused with two objectives: (1) to explore the influence of big-five personality factors (extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness) towards social network site (SNS) usage among Asian university students, and (2) to analyze the mediating roles of personality, cultural and technology factors,  in the relationship between SNS usage on academic performance. Moreover, assessment framework for the integration of personality, cultural and technology factors for the effectiveness of SNS usage on academic performance has not been adequately presented in the available literature. For measuring the effects of SNS usage on academic performance, we have integrated Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) Approaches: (a) Fuzzy Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and (b) Goal Programming (GP) approach. Further, the hybridization of fuzzy TOPSIS and GP has addressed only in very few studies. Based on this context we have integrated fuzzy TOPSIS and GP approach for evaluating SNS usage on academic performance from the perspective of university students in India. The hybrid GP-TOPSIS methodology has been employed in a real case study among VIT university students in India. A numerical illustration for SNS usage on academic performance is also given to demonstrate the application of hybrid MCDM approach.

The present investigation, Learning Styles in different dimensions will be addressed according to The Inventory Learning Processes (ILP), (Schmeck et al., 1977; Schmeck and Ribich, 1978). The objective is to know the factors that make up the axes: academic performance and learning styles of the university students of the Mexican Republic, in addition to the attributes that make them up. We worked with a sample of 253 subjects. The information was processed by means of the descriptive analysis from frequencies and percentages, comparative with Student's t-test for independent groups and with integrative, exploratory factor analysis.It is an exploratory and descriptive quantitative, synchronous and transversal investigation t is indicated that the characteristics that identify young people such as: gender, age, city, state, institution, career, average, among others, influence the academic performance of students. In this way, the factors that affect student learning are presented. A summarized panorama of the research is presented: One of the conclusions is that, in trend, university students have a good academic performance, according to the study method, being the population of women with the most significant opinion. Likewise, it is observed that the variables that have greater objectivity which will give an educational innovation through factors. Finally, the innovative strategies that have emerged through the study phenomenon will be presented.

This paper describes how to improve the academic performance of engineering university students through an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System (AEHS). The psychological basis, learning styles and MOOMH methodology for the development of the system are exposed, which with its implementation achieves adaptability and works for students as an “intelligent tutor”, allowing them to guide their education as academic tutor. Not only shows its content that meets the needs of the student, but it is also represented in elements such as color adaptation, work tools and even academic recommendations based on the interactions that the user makes within the system, the system recognizes its pattern of use, and when the student is logged in again, it presents a friendlier interface that the student prefers use, it is wider in content and, above all, easy to use and understand. In addition, the AEHS allows to extend education allowing the assignment of more domain areas, in the field of engineering, that is, the SHAE can be adapted to various engineering specialties such as: industrial, software, telecommunications, mechanics and other.

This study aims at exploring and examining the causes of teacher's favoritism and its effects on the university students. Quantitative tools are applied to collect data for the study and to check its reliability. The results of the data reveal that the teachers favor the students on the basis of gender, race, area, similar political ideology and family/blood relation. The study also indicates that a teacher's favoritism in the class affects boldness, mutual trust and respects between students and teacher which results in the student's struggle for favoritism instead of studies and academic achievements. Moreover, the students may opt for leaving the institute in which favoritism exists. The study also shows that both male and female students have the same opinions regarding different factors and effects of favoritism. The study concludes that the students' flair, potential, abilities and academic achievements should be emphasized as essential criteria for testing and evaluating the students' academic performance. It will, further, compel the students to focus on their studies, rather than on gaining teacher's favor.
