This study examines whether factors identified in the literature as influencing students’ performance explain students’ performance in an Advanced Financial Accounting course. Three variables are chosen: teaching format, cumulative grade point average and study effort to examine their effect on students’ performance. Using questionnaire and experimental approaches on 129 students who were enrolled in Advanced Financial Accounting course in a public university in Malaysia, the results in this study indicate all three variables examined are associated with students’ performance. These results could assist academics in understanding and developing strategies that could be apply at the beginning of the course to ensure students’ performance could be improved.   Keywords: Students’ performance, Advanced Financial Accounting (AFA), Teaching Format, Cumulative Grade Point Average, Study Effort.

The Impact

This research was conducted because the consideration of the widespread of students’ corruptive behavior in term of academic misconducts. This research examines the impact of students’ academic performance on their corruptive behavior perception. The data samples are the accounting students of Economics Faculty of Universitas Islam Indonesia. The corruptive behavior is defined as the academic misconducts that are usually done by students. It is measured by their tolerance perception of the academic misconducts. The academic performance is defined and measured as the students’ achievements on the subjects undertaken. These are represented by grade point average (GPA), grade of financial accounting and auditing subjects. A regression analysis is employed to test whether those academic performance have significant impact to the corruptive behavior perception. Based on the analysis, it is found that the GPA and the grade of financial accounting subjects have a positive and significant impact on the corruptive behavior perception. It is suggested that the better performance achieved by students on GPA and these subjects, the better their perception of corruptive behavior. However, this research does not prove that the grades of auditing subjects have a significant impact on the corruptive behavior perceive.

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.

University Setting

Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is a system for calculation of GPA scores and is one way to determine a student's academic performance in a university setting. In Nigeria, an employer evaluates a student's academic performance using their CGPA score. For this study, data were collected from a student database of a private school in the south-west geopolitical zone in Nigeria. Regression analysis, correlation analysis, and analysis of variance (F-test) were employed to determine the study year that students perform better based on CGPA. According to the results, it was observed that students perform much better in year three (300 Level) and year four (400 Level) compared to other levels. In conclusion, we strongly recommend the private university to introduce program that will improve the academic performance of students from year one (100 level).

This study examined the relationships between food insecurity, mental health, and academic performance among college students in a California public university system ( N = 8705). Structural equation modeling was performed to examine a direct path from food insecurity to student grade point average and an indirect path through mental health, controlling for demographic characteristics. Food insecurity was related to lower student grade point average directly and indirectly through poor mental health. These findings support the need for future interventions and policy on the importance of providing students with the basic needs to succeed both academically and in the future.

AbstractAs the White populace in the United States moves toward numerical minority status by 2042, how might Whites respond to impending threat of losing their dominant group position? In particular, how will Whites react at selective, elite universities, where Asians are increasingly prominent and other non-Whites are maintaining or capturing a larger share of enrollments? Drawing on group position theory, I test White commitment to meritocracy as a public policy, using a survey-based experiment (599 California adult residents) to examine the importance grade point average should have in public university admissions. Whites decrease the importance that grade point average should have when Asian group threat is primed. However, White Californians increase the importance that grade point average should have when thinking about group threat from either Blacks or Blacks and Asians simultaneously. Ethnoracial outgroup threat shifts White support for meritocracy in different directions.
