This study aims to obtain a description of the students’ ability in understanding text. To achieve the objective, the study selected 216 mathematics students in a proportionate stratified random sampling. The students were asked to answer questions from a text that was designed and validated by a linguist. The samples were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The results show that there was a relationship between the length of studying mathematics (semester level) and the student’s ability to understand the idea of a text, the ability to determine conclusions from the given text, and the student’s ability to determine the relationships of paragraphs. This study also found that factors such as Grade Point Average (GPA), reading habits, and reading preferences cannot be assumed to have correlations with students’ ability to understand texts.   Received: 15 February 2021 / Accepted: 29 March 2021 / Published: 10 May 2021

Abstract:Several factors usually affect student’s Grade Point Average (GPA), including family support, associate friends and learning intensity. This study aims to determine whether there is an indirect effect of family and friends support associating with the cumulative achievement index of students through the excitement of learning as an intervening variable. This type of research is ex-post facto with a population of 278 students of the 2015-2017 Mathematics Tadris Study Program. We used a Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling technique to select a sample of 164 students. We obtained data through questionnaires and documentation and then analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that there was an indirect influence of family and friends support associating with student GPA through the intensity of learning as an intervening variable.Abstrak:Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) mahasiswa biasanya dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya adalah dukungan keluarga, teman bergaul dan intensitas belajar.

Berdasarkan hasil analisis uji Kruskal Wallis terdapat hubungan signifikan dengan intensitas lemah antara gaya belajar dan IPK pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah Kuala yang menderita dispepsia fungsional (a0,05; p=0,000; r=-0,349). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, terdapat hubungan antara gaya belajar dengan IPK pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah  Kuala yang menderita dispepsia fungsional.Kata kunci: Dispepsia Fungsional, Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif, Gaya BelajarAbstract. Functional dyspepsia is a functional abnormality consisting of clinical symptoms such as epigastrial pain, flatulence, early feeling of fullness (satiety), nausea and vomiting. It affects students' Grade Point Average (GPA) through physiological and psychological mechanisms. GPA reflects the learning outcomes at the end of study, which is influenced by learning style. This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning style with GPA of medical students of Syiah Kuala University with functional dyspepsia. This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. The respondents included 98 students suffering from functional dyspepsia in the force of 2014,2015 and 2016 selected using stratified random sampling. The result of the study showed that most students in the IPK category were very satisfactory (42,9%) with auditory was the most used learning style (59,2%) and followed by kinesthetic learning style (16,3%). And as many as 11% of respondents with IPK praise category and 7% of whom have visual learning style. based on the crucial wallis test results there is a significant relationship with the weak intensity between learning styles and ipk at the medical faculty students of syiah kuala university who suffer from functional dyspepsia (a0,05; p=0,000; r=-0,349).

We explored the extent to which 7 dimensions (truth-seeking, openmindedness, analyticity, systematicity, inquisitiveness, criticalthinking, self-confidence, and maturity of judgment) of the critical thinking disposition of graduating university students can be explained by their reading habits, age, university entrance examination grade, cumulative grade point average, family socioeconomic level, mother's education level, and father's education level. Participants comprised 1,164 students who were graduating from various universities in Turkey. We used descriptive and inferential approaches to data analysis. Results indicate that reading habits was the most significant first-order factor predicting a strong critical thinking disposition, followed by mother's education level, cumulative grade point average, and university entrance examination grade. Age and father's education level explained the smallest amount of variance in critical thinking disposition. Implications of the results are discussed.

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.
