Although there is an invaluable growth of science and technology across the world, many young people appear to lose interest in Mathematics and science-related subjects due to poor academic achievement caused by different factors. The factors affecting students' achievement in science subjects among sub-Saharan Africa countries,including Rwanda, have been an issue for stakeholders on investigating how to improve the teaching and learning of science in basic education. In this study, a purposive cluster sampling of 261 participants, including 210 students, 23 teachers, seven head teachers, seven Sector Education Inspectors (SEIs), and 14 parents were used. Data were collected through a questionnaire addressed to learners; analyzed using SPSS via descriptive statistics. An interview was conducted with students' representatives, teachers, head teachers,Sector Education Inspectors, and focus group discussion with 14 parents which was analyzed using content analysis. The analysis indicated that key factors of low performance in science subjects include the level of teachers' education; family's economic background; availability of teaching and learning materials; distance covered by learners from home to school; learner's prior knowledge; and level of parents'education and absenteeism of learners. Thus, the above seem to affect the academic achievement of students in the advanced level of Twelve-Year Basic Education in Rwanda. Views about how to improve learning achievements in science such as equipping the laboratories, constructing more 12YBE schools in various areas to curb the problem of long distances covered by learners to and from school, training teachers on innovative teaching methods were suggested. The results informed that in-service teachers' training and parental involvement should be encouraged to track and sustain learners’ learning.

AbstractEvidence from cognitive neuroscience suggests that learning counterintuitive concepts in mathematics and science requires inhibitory control (IC). This prevents interference from misleading perceptual cues and naïve theories children have built from their experiences of the world. Here, we (1) investigate associations between IC, counterintuitive reasoning, and academic achievement and (2) evaluate a classroom-based computerised intervention, called Stop & Think, designed to embed IC training within the learning domain (i.e. mathematics and science content from the school curricula). Cross-sectional analyses of data from 627 children in Years 3 and 5 (7- to 10-year-olds) demonstrated that IC, measured on a Stroop-like task, was associated with counterintuitive reasoning and mathematics and science achievement. A subsample (n = 456) participated either in Stop & Think as a whole-class activity (teacher-led, STT) or using individual computers (pupil-led, STP), or had teaching as usual (TAU). For Year 3 children (but not Year 5), Stop & Think led to better counterintuitive reasoning (i.e. near transfer) in STT (p < .001, ηp2 = .067) and STP (p < .01, ηp2 = .041) compared to TAU. Achievement data was not available for Year 3 STP or Year 5 STT. For Year 3, STT led to better science achievement (i.e. far transfer) compared to TAU (p < .05, ηp2 = .077). There was no transfer to the Stroop-like measure of IC. Overall, these findings support the idea that IC may contribute to counterintuitive reasoning and mathematics and science achievement. Further, we provide preliminary evidence of a domain-specific IC intervention with transferable benefits to academic achievement for Year 3 children.

The data shows that some students have experienced failure in lectures and failures in lectures that have an impact on dropping out of college need to be found. One of the initial factors that contributed to failure in lectures was a low GPA. Students need to have a way to have a positive learning attitude so that they can contribute to improving their GPA. In this case the researcher aims to find out the role of mindfulness and vigor on the student GPA, in addition to finding out the relationship between mindfulness and vigor. The method used in this study is the correlation analysis technique to find evidence of the relationship of mindfulness with vigor, and academic achievement. The number of samples used was 81 students from University X. Mindfulness was measured using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaires (FFMQ), vigor was measured using the Shirom-Melamed vigor measure (SMVM) and academic achievement was measured by student GPA. Both measuring instruments have been adapted into Indonesian, and have good reliability based on the trial process. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between mindfulness and vigor. Other analysis results also show that there is a significant relationship between mindfulness and vigor with academic achievement in students.

The aim of the compiling of the study was to find out and explain the academic matters, was to find out how big the effect of memorizing al-Qur’an and the intentity of tahajud prayer toward academic achievement of Qur’an Hadis either collectively or partially. The study was quantitative with education as its scope. Rather it used the combination of library and field research as its research place. The collecting data used questionnaire and documentation. The validation of the research instrument by analizing items was counted with correlation formula ‘Product Moment’, and the reliability was counted by formula Alpha Cronbach. The technique of analizing data to examine hypothesis was correlation analysis technique of Product Moment and technique double regression two predictors. The result of the study showed that significance level 5% was acquired by the value of t count of either memorizing al-Qur’an or intentity of tahajud prayer was 0,182 and 0,579, whereas the value of t table was 2,026. Since t count < t table, it can be inferred that neither memorizing al-Qur’an nor intentity of tahajud prayer has significant effect toward academic achievement of Qur’an Hadis. In addition, based on the result of the study, the test value of F count was 0,389 and based on the table, the value of F table was 3,245. Since F count < F table, the conclusion was that there was no significant effect of memorizing al-Qur’an and intentity of tahajud prayer on academic achievement of Qur’an Hadis collectively. Based on the analizing, the researcher found the other factor that could influence students academic achievement was motivation, either motivation of memorizing al-Qur’an or tahajud prayer.Disusunnya penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menjelaskan hal-hal yang terkait dengan problem akademik, yaitu:mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh hafalan al-Qur’an dan intensitas salat tahajud baik secara bersama-sama atau parsial terhadap prestasi belajar Qur’an Hadis. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendidikan sebagai ruang lingkup penelitiannya dan menggabungkan kepustakaan (library research) dan lapangan (field research)sebagai tempat penelitiannya.Metode pengambilan data menggunakan angket dan dokumentasi. Validitas instrument penelitian dilakukan dengan analisis butir hitung dengan rumus korelasi product moment. Reliabilitas instrument dihitung dengan menggunakan rumus Alpha Cronbach. Teknik analisis data yang dipakai untuk menguji hipotesis adalah teknik analisis korelasi Product moment dan teknik regresi ganda 2 prediktor.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dengan taraf signifikan 5% diperoleh nilai t hitung hafalan al-Qur’an dan intensitas salat tahajud secara berurutan sebesar 0,182 dan 0,579, sedangkan  t tabel 2,026.  Karena  t hitung < t tabel  maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa  baik hafalan al-Qur’an maupun intensitas salat tahajud tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap prestasi belajar Qur’an Hadis. Kemudian berdasar hasil penelitian diperoleh nilai uji F hitung sebesar  0,389 dan berdasar tabel diperoleh nilai F Tabel sebesar 3,245. Karena F hitung < F tabel  maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan secara bersama sama antara hafalan al-Qur’an dan intensitas salat tahajud terhadap nilai mata pelajaran Qur’an Hadis. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan, peneliti menemukan faktor lain yang bisa mempengaruhi prestasi belajar santriwati, yaitu motivasi.
