Moderating Role

Aims: This study sought to explore the moderating role of gender in the relationship between creative thinking and academic performance in English Language and Mathematics among Junior High School students in the Aboom Circuit, Cape Coast. Study Design: The design for the study is correlational espousing the quantitative approach. The study was guided by two research hypotheses, which were tested using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Andrew F. Hayes Moderation Process. The instruments for the data collection were Kumar, Kemmler and Holman (1997) Creativity Styles Questionnaire-Revised (CSQ-R) and standardised-type test developed by experts in the various subject areas. Results: The study revealed significant relationship between creative thinking and academic performance of students (English Language: r=.432, n=140, p=0.05, p=.003, 2-tailed; Mathematics: r=.401, n=140 p=0.05, p=0.000, 2-talied). The study further revealed that gender moderated significantly in the relationship between creativity and academic performance (English Language: b=-.276, t=-2.398, CI= -.485, -.088; Mathematics: b=-.300, t=-2.198, CI= -.564, -.070). As such, male respondents had higher creative thinking effect in English Language and Mathematics than female respondents (b=.371, t=4.608, CI [.212, .530; b=.219, t=2.286, CI [.030, .407]). Conclusion: Creative thinking indeed relates to performance, as such, it was recommended  that creative thinking should be nurtured among all students in J.H.S. In addition, stakeholders in education should consider including creative thinking in the curriculum and pay special attention to nurturing creative think in female students so that they could match up with their male counterparts.

One Way Anova

Graduating students of UiTM are required to sit for English Exit Test (EET) whose objective is to gauge students’ English proficiency level and their readiness for the workplace. Since the test is administered before students finish their studies, it is important to examine if EET has a predictive validity in determining the academic performance of UiTM students. We use the students’ CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to gauge their academic performance and English language proficiency since English is used as a medium of instruction at UiTM. A four-part predictive validity study was conducted on the relationship between students’ EET performance and academic achievement. A sample of 1,436 students’ EET results and CGPA from various faculties were analysed based on the results from four semesters which were 2016/2, 2016/4, 2017/2 and 2017/4. The relationship among the scores were summarised with correlation coefficients and a series of one-way ANOVA tests were run to see if there were any significant mean differences in the scores based on faculties in a span of two years. The findings revealed that there were positive correlations between students’ EET results and their CGPA. Thus, it can be concluded that EET has the predictive validity for students’ academic achievement which is the CGPA. The present study also found that EET can be considered a good test as the results of EET could differentiate good students from weak ones. This was determined by running a series of One-way ANOVA tests. The results revealed that faculties whose students had high English proficiency level scored better in EET than those whose students who had low English proficiency level. Therefore, the findings indicate that EET has a potential in differentiating high English proficient students from low English proficient students for their language readiness in the workplace.

The Relationship

There are many cognitive and non-cognitive constructs that account for the academic performance of college students. A priori knowledge proposes that the ability to form an identity and awareness of oneself and the pattern of behavior adopted by a student in the pursuit of learning are significant vehicles in the educative process. Hence, this researcher conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study where he attempted to establish the relationship that exists between the levels of self-esteem, study habits and academic performance of college students.  Results from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965), the Study Habits Questionnaire (2001) and their general point average (GPA) were manually organized and collated. The Pearson Product Moment correlation and the Fisher’s exact test of correlation were used to measure the relationship between the variables. There exists a weak positive relationship between self-esteem and study habits of the respondents. There is no significant relationship that exists between the levels of self-esteem and academic performance. There is no significant relationship that exists between the levels of study habits and academic performance. Ordinal Logistic regression revealed that none of the independent variables or the moderating variable significantly explains the variability in the academic performance of the respondents.

The Relationship

Study habits are methods and strategies used by student to assimilate and acquire new knowledge and improve their academic performance. The habit requires three important elements knowledge, skills and the desire to improve, without forgetting that they require effort, dedication, discipline and motivation. The objective of the study was to know the relationship between study habits and academic performance in two first year university groups in a Food Microbiology competition. A questionnaire was used to evaluate study habits according to techniques, organization, time, distractor and efficiency in academic performance. The results showed that there is a relationship between study habits and poor academic performance. This information helps to take actions to improve learning techniques and environments that help correct and resolve the deficiencies that arise in the daily work of the teacher.

The present study investigated the relationship between language proficiency and academic performance of students at Mehran university Jamshoro, Sindh. The study employed quantitative correlational research design to measure the variables. The researchers adapted English language test to measure the language proficiency of the learners. And CGPA (cumulative grade point average) to measure the academic performance of the research participants. The researchers collected data from 100 undergraduate students by doing simple random sampling. The data was collected in two phases: first pilot study and then main study. The pilot study was done before the actual research to measure validity and feasibility of the adopted English language proficiency test. The cronbach alpha was used to check reliability of the data. SPSS version 26 was used to perform the Pearson correlation analysis. The findings revealed that data was reliable with alpha value. 702 and the correlation was highly positive with a value of .826 at the significance value .000. The study confirms that the language has played a pivotal role to improve academic performance of the students studying in Mehran university of science and technology.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between Chinese high school students’ approaches toward learning and their academic achievements. Participants consisted of 14,021 eleventh graders from an eastern province in China. They took the National Standardized Test in three subject areas: Chinese language, mathematics, and English language. The total score was used as an indicator of their academic achievement. Students’ approaches toward learning were measured in three aspects: self-confidence in learning, learning interests, and study habits. Questionnaires of self-confidence in learning and learning interests were adapted from PISA 2006 and PISA 2012. Study habits were measured with the questionnaire adapted from Academic Adjustment Inventory (AAT). The Pearson correlation and hierarchical linear regression results showed that the dimensions of students’ approaches toward learning weresignificantly related to academic achievements. Results of analysis of variance after the control of student gender and socioeconomic status suggested that the top 25% of students in dimensions of approaches toward learning scored significantly higher than the bottom 25% of students with small effect sizes in their performance on the final examinations. This study suggests that helping students build good approaches toward learning may improve their academic achievements. Educators are recommended to put more effort into helping students cultivate learning confidence and developing interests in learning. Classroom teachers are advised to guide students in fostering good study habits and make study plans.
