The research was the replication of the study done by Coutinho (2006) and it aimed at finding the relationship between achievement goals, meta-cognition and academic success. Achievement goals were further divided into two types: mastery and performance. The participants were 119 students enrolled in M. A. Education, Department of Education at the University of Sargodha. The questionnaire used in the original study, along with Urdu translation, was administered to the participants. The questionnaire consisted of three sections measuring mastery goals, performance goals, and meta-cognition, respectively. The academic achievement record was taken from the Office of Department of Education. Academic achievement was taken as marked and obtained at the Matric, Intermediate, Bachelors, and M.A. levels. It was concluded there is no significant correlation between mastery goals and academic achievement. Similarly, there was no significant correlation between performance goals and academic achievement at Matric, Intermediate and Bachelor levels. However, negative correlation was observed between performance goals and achievement at the masters level. The researchers found no significant relationship between meta-cognition and academic achievement at all levels and there were no significant gender differences in mastery goals, performance goals and meta-cognition.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine whether students' self-assessment (SSA) could be used as a significant attribute to predict students' future academic achievement.Design/methodology/approachThe authors address how well students can assess their abilities and study the relationship between this ability and demographic properties and previous study performance. The authors present the study results by measuring the relationship between the SSA across five different topics and comparing them with the students' performance in these topics using short tests. The test has been voluntarily taken by more than 300 students planning to enroll in the School of Business Informatics and Mathematics master's programs at the University of Mannheim.FindingsThe study results reveal which attributes are mostly associated with the accuracy level of SSA in higher education. The authors conclude that SSA, it can be valuable in predicting master's students' academic achievement when taking specific measures when designing the predictive module.Research limitations/implicationsDue to time constraints, the study was restricted only to students applying to master's programs at the Faculty of Business Informatics and Mathematics at the University of Mannheim. This resulted in collecting a limited data set. Also, the scope of this study was restricted to testing the accuracy of SSA and did not test using it as an attribute for predicting students' academic achievement.Originality/valuePredicting students' academic performance in higher education is beneficial from different perspectives. The literature reveals that a considerable amount of work is published to analyze and predict academic performance in higher education. However, most of the published work relies on attributes such as demographics, teachers' assessment, and examination scores for performing their prediction while neglecting the use of other forms of evaluation such as SSA or self-evaluation.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the predictive power of perceived level of social support and solitude levels in academic achievements in nursing students. The sample of the study consisted by 451 students who were studying at the Department of Nursing in a public university in 2014-2015 academic years. 360 of students (79.9%) were female, 91 (20.1) were male. The average age of students was found to be 20.97 ± 1.23 and the average academic achievement was 2.36 ± 0.86. Data were collected by using Student Identification Form, Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and UCLA Loneliness Scale. The relationship between level of loneliness and social support of among students was analyzed by Pearson Correlation analysis. In order to determine the predictive variables of academic achievement contributed in which alignment, stepwise regression techniques were used. PSSS mean scores of students was found to be 128,18 ± 6,02, UCLA mean score was 38,02 ± 8,02. As a result of the regression analysis, it was found that the educator’s support, family support and solitude variables predict the academic achievement, gender, grade level and support of friends do not predict. Educator’s support variable was seen as predictor of academic achievement in the first place and this support explains alone the 11.8% of the academic achievement of nursing students. It can be useful to plan the development of plans such as developing social relationships to student, educator and family in order to develop the skills of students to benefit from social support resources, social support skills programs, seminars of teacher-student relationship. At the same time, it can make a positive contribution that the nurse educators’ supportive, without prejudice, patient behaviors in the educational process to academic success of students. ÖzetBu araştırmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin çevreden algıladıkları sosyal destek düzeyi ve yalnızlık düzeyinin akademik başarılarını yordama gücünü belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Araştırmanın öreklemini, 2014-2015 akademik yılında bir kamu üniversitesi Hemşirelik Bölümünde öğrenim gören 451 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Öğrencilerin 360'ı (%79.9) kız,  91'i (%20.1) erkektir. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.97±1.23 olup, akademik başarı ortalaması ise 2.36±0.86 olarak bulunmuştur. Veriler, Öğrenci Tanıtım Formu,Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (ASDÖ) ve UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin yalnızlık düzeyi ile sosyal destek düzeyi arasındaki ilişki Pearson Korelasyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Öğrencilerin akademik başarısını yordayan değişkenlerin hangi sıra ile katkı sağladığını belirlemek için adımsal (stepwise regression) regresyon teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin ASDÖ puan ortalaması 128,18±6,02, UCLA puan ortalaması 38,02±8,02 olarak bulunmuştur. Yapılan adımsal regresyon analizi sonucunda eğitimci desteği, aile desteği ve yalnızlık değişkenleri akademik başarıyı anlamlı olarak yordamakta, cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi ve arkadaş desteği ise yordamamaktadır. Eğitimci desteği değişkeninin öğrencilerin akademik başarısını ilk sırada yordadığı görülmü olup, tek başına eğitimci desteği değişkeni hemşirelik öğrencilerinin akademik başarılarının %11.8’ini açıklamaktadır. Öğrencinin sosyal destek kaynaklarından yararlanma becerisini geliştirmek amacıyla öğrenci, eğitimci ve ailelere yönelik sosyal ilişkileri geliştirme, sosyal destek beceri programı, eğitimci-öğrenci ilişkilerini geliştirme seminerleri gibi programların planlanması yararlı olabilir. Aynı zamanda hemşire eğitimcilerin, eğitim sürecinde öğrencilere karşı sabırlı, önyargısız, onları destekler biçimde davranmaları öğrencilerin akademik başarısına olumlu katkılar sağlayabilir.

The study aims to investigate the relationship between the academic achievement of computerized tests and traditional pen and paper exams of Business College students at the University of Jordan- Aqaba branch as well as relate differences results to students` gender. The study sample comprised 136 students of a compulsory course at the Business Faculty. A computerized mid-term test was held while the final one was traditional. The results of the two tests were compared where the other general factors affecting students` academic achievement, namely ( the same students, course subject, course subject lecturer) were set. The tests marks were sampled as percentage to the test mark so as to delete the denominator difference of marks where the mid-term mark is out of 30 while the final test is out of 50. The SPSS was used to compare the results of the two tests. Results were related to students gender, whether gender-related differences are found. The study concluded that there is no statistical significant relationship between the academic achievement of computerized tests and traditional ones (paper and pen) held at the Business College in The University of Jordan- Aqaba branch. The results also indicated that the academic achievement differences resulting from computerized tests have to do with the student gender variable in favour of male students.

The Relationship

The health benefits of physical activity are empirically supported and well accepted. However, the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness, and academic performance remains to be clearly established. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement among a sample of Illinois high school students. Analyses were based on the 2016–2017 school year Archival Fitnessgram physical fitness test scores and cumulative GPAs of ninth- through twelfth-grade students (N = 371). Pearson correlation assessed the relationship between physical fitness and academic performance. Multiple linear regression predicted students’ academic achievement. There was a positive association between total fitness and academic achievement, although not statistically significant, r (369) = .002, p = .49. The regression prediction model was statistically significant (p < .001) and accounted for approximately 25% of the variance in academic achievement (R2 = .256, adjusted R2 = .246). Academic achievement was predicted by total number of absences and gender, and to a lesser extent by socio­economic status, the curl-up, and ethnicity. The findings of this study suggest a positive association between physical fitness and academic achievement. These results are potentially relevant to the development of future education policies. Thus, policy makers, school administrators, and educators must use the knowledge gained in this study, along with existing research, as evidence to emphasize the importance of the fitness–academic link, to further support the need for quality physical education curriculum and mandated physical fitness testing.

Introduction: Aortic calcification can be utilized to assess cardiovascular risk. While contrast is useful for vascular enhancement in diagnostic imaging, enhancement creates heterogeneity between post and non-contrast scans and limits their direct comparability. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that post and non-contrast aortic calcification measures will correlate, and a correction score can be developed for statistical comparability. Methods: Retrospective CT-scans were obtained from the University of Michigan. Participants (N=330) received abdominal scans with and without contrast enhancement within 120 calendar days. Analytic Morphomics was used to obtain vertebral-indexed measurements of aortic calcium area, and aortic wall obfuscation percentage. Calcification was specifically identified as regions with a given morphology and pixel value five standard deviations above the defined central lumen zone. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to explain the relationship between aortic measurements with and without contrast. Regressions include calcification percent (Model 1), and area (Model 2). Independent variables were non-contrast measurements and dependent variables were contrast measurements, age, and sex. Results: Correlations of calcification percent ranged from 0.86 at T11 and 0.94 and L2. Correlations of calcification area ranged from 0.66 at T12 to 0.84 at L3. In Model 1, for every percent increase in post-contrast calcification, non-contrast calcification percent increased by 11% (β=1.11, p <0.001, R2=0.85). In Model 2, for every mm2 increase in post-contrast calcification area, non-contrast calcification area increased by 0.45 mm2 (β=1.45, p <0.001, R2=0.69). Variance inflation factor for Model 1 was 1.08 and 1.07 for Model 2. Conclusion: In conclusion, this research proposes a correction score for comparisons of abdominal aortic calcification measurements in post-contrast and non-contrast scans.

Attaining an undergraduate college degree contributes to increased employment opportunities and greater compensation, yet many students who enroll fail to graduate within six years, including a growing number of online students. One promising model for increasing retention is cohort education, in which students take multiple courses together as a group. This chapter uses a quantitative data analysis to examine the relationship between membership in an online cohort major and degree completion of baccalaureate students. The study population includes students at a Midwestern university that offers online programs in cohort and non-cohort formats. Study results show a significant positive relationship between membership in an online cohort major and baccalaureate degree completion. The results suggest that higher education leaders seeking to improve baccalaureate degree completion rates may benefit from offering online courses in a cohort format.
