Many students have not mastered the concept of group theory well. Hence, the researcher intended to describe the conceptual understanding of group theory based on the student’s mathematical abilities. The implementation of this research begun with the students studied about Group Theory classically. Next, to examine the mathematical abilities of students, the researcher administered the questionnaire to obtain the data about the GPA (Grade Point Average) of students. Then, the researcher chose the participants of this study based on the high, middle, and low GPA. The selected research subjects were then given test questions that had been validated by the experts. Data was analyzed using the indicators of conceptual understanding, namely: (1) explaining or restate the group concept, (2) providing an example and a nonexample, (3) using group concept to solve the problem. The results showed that the students with high mathematical abilities reached three indicators of conceptual understanding perfectly. Students with medium mathematical abilities reached two indicators of conceptual understanding but it was not perfect, she did not write the answer completely. In addition, students with low mathematical abilities could not do the test at all, he could not write the group correctly. He did not reach any indicators of conceptual understanding, thus, it can be concluded that the students with low mathematical abilities did not understand the concept well.

This study aims to determine the ability of Tes Potensi Akademik Pascasarjana (PAPS Test) in predicting the grade point average (GPA) of the graduate students of the Master of Professional Psychology. PAPS test is the graduate entry requirement test in UGM. Graduate students’ GPA includes semester grade point average (semester GPA), cumulative grade point average (cumulative GPA), grade point average of master courses, and grade point average of professional courses. The data were obtained in the form of PAPS test scores (verbal subtest, reasoning subtest, quantitative subtest, and total score) and the GPA of the graduate students of Master of Professional Psychology of Universitas Gadjah Mada in the class of 2013, 2014, and 2015. The research subjects were 214 students. The analysis was carried out using correlation analysis. The results of the analysis generally indicate that the PAPS test is able to become a predictor of learning success for the graduate students in the Master of Professional Psychology of Universitas Gadjah Mada. The learning success consists of semester GPA, cumulative GPA, GPA of master courses, and GPA of professional courses. If analyzed per subtest, the quantitative subtest has the highest predictive power. On the other hand, the verbal subtest is only a good predictor for GPA of professional courses.

University dropout is a politically and economically important factor. While a number of studies address this issue cross-sectionally by analyzing different cohorts, or retrospectively via questionnaires, few of them are truly longitudinal and focus on the individual as the unit of interest. In contrast to these studies, an individual differences perspective is adopted in the present paper. For this purpose, a hands-on introduction to a recently proposed structural equation (SEM) approach to discrete-time survival analysis is provided ( Muthén & Masyn, 2005 ). In a next step, a prospective study with N = 1096 students, observed across four semesters, is introduced. As expected, average university grade proved to be an important predictor of future dropout, while high-school grade-point average (GPA) yielded no incremental predictive validity but was completely mediated by university grade. Accounting for unobserved heterogeneity, three latent classes could be identified with differential predictor-criterion relations, suggesting the need to pay closer attention to the composition of the student population.

Basic competence used during counseling session is the development of trained skills and experienced obtained by counselor candidate during their education. To obtain the skills the counselors have to seriously pass some training phases. This study is aimed at finding out the basic competence possessed by counselor candidate during counseling session in Faculty of Education and Teachers Training in Islamic University of Raden Intan Lampung. This research applied quantitative method, involving 145 of final year students who were randomly selected. Data was collected by distributing the questionnaire of counseling basic competence and analyzed by using descriptive statistic aided by Statistics Package for Social Science (SPSS version 22.0). Generally the findings of the study reveals that the counseling basic competence possessed by the counselor candidates is placed on Average/Simple level. The study also shows that there is no difference competence pursuant to gender and Grade Point Average (GPA) achieved by the object of the study. It implies that the basic competence in conducting counseling session is extremely important and prominent prossesed by the counselors in schools.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which diploma graduates’ Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) predicts their success in teachers’ professional licensing written exam result (TPLWER). A total of 588 graduating students (317 males and 271 females) were included in the study. Correlation, simple regression analyses, and independent sample t-test were employed on the data. The result revealed a statistical significant correlation between CGPA and TPLWER. CGPA appeared to be valid predictor of success of TPLWER and accounted for 33.40% of the variation in TPLWER. The results indicated statistically significant gender differences in diploma graduates’ CGPA and TPLWER.

This study explored the roles of demographic variables, grade point average, centrality (an aspect of racial identity), and student-professor interactions in predicting academic self-concept. A convenience sample of 132 African American students (104 females and 28 males) ranging in age from 18 to 38 ( Mage = 26), attending a historically Black university completed an online questionnaire assessing demographic information, grade point average, an aspect of racial identity from the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity, student-professor interactions, and academic self-concept. Results showed that grade point average and student-professor interactions characterized by faculty’s level of care were significant factors in predicting academic self-concept. These relationships may be important for understanding salient factors that influence the academic self-concept in African American college students.

Measures of body-cathexis, self-cathexis, and anxiety were administered to 74 junior and senior students in educational psychology The body and self tended to be cathected to the same degree, and anxiety was highly correlated with both cathexes. Correlations with grade-point average were nonsignificant. Thus, values placed on body and self tended to be commensurate but lack predictive validity for college academic success.
