Effects of University Preparation and Engagement on Achievement

<p>This study comprised an investigation of the longitudinal achievement of New Zealand first-year undergraduate students (n=967) who transitioned to their degrees through the Certificate of University Preparation (CUP) programme at Victoria University of Wellington between 2008 and 2012 and the role of preparation and engagement on their achievement. Certain student behaviours, development of study skills, importance of academic challenge, and emphasis on academic support were all correlated with later university achievement. Although engagement is a highly acclaimed concept, its links to achievement were unsubstantiated. Using linear regressions, students' academic perseverance and their achievement in CUP each uniquely predicted first-year university degree programme achievement. CUP students' university achievement was higher than mainstream students with similar secondary school achievement, based on a statistical model of achievement that accounted for the relative difficulty of achieving each result. These findings indicate that the CUP programme was effective in preparing learners to access and achieve in university.</p>

Gifted boys’ perceptions of their academic underachievement

We examined how six gifted boys perceived the onset and development of their academic underachievement and what they identified as contributing aspects. Across the six boys’ experiences, a similar pattern of onset and development of academic underachievement emerged. The boys discussed a lack of academic challenge, investment in hobbies, issues with time management and self-regulation, family transitions, and peer relations as contributing to their academic underachievement. These aspects influenced the boys’ value beliefs (e.g., not caring about grades) or maladaptive beliefs about themselves (e.g., lower self-worth), which contributed to disengagement and underachievement according to students.

E-Learning Education System Design

The impact of pandemic COVID-19 is visible in every sector around the world. The educational services of India as well as world are badly affected by this worldwide pandemic.. It has created very bad impact during lockdown as 32 crore students had stopped to go to their learning centres and learning have been started on online mode during the pandemic phase. At the academic level we have seen leaders tackle the COVID-19 emergency from the strategy .The main objective of this paper, are to assess the impact of covid-19 on education sector and to study the psychological health of students also, the effectiveness of E-learning compared with traditional teaching methodology. According to a study conducted on student engagement in online courses at three different universities. level of Academic challenge, Guest Faculty to students , faculty to student interactions, student to faculty interactions, active and collaborative learning, enriching educational experience among others are used as the study’s benchmark. Their research reveals that students view faculty feedback as the most important and frequent type of interaction between student and faculty and those students also acknowledged a learning benefit associated with working in groups.

Consciousness-Based Education

Consciousness-based education balances academic challenge with students' ability to master the material (1) using a block system to spread academic work across the semester, (2) teaching strategies to connect individual lectures to larger discipline principles, and (3) incorporating Transcendental Meditation practice into the curriculum. Brain integration and constructive thinking were compared in 27 freshman/senior pairs involved in consciousness-based university education. As seniors, these subjects had higher levels of brain integration, associated with emotional stability and success in life, and higher global constructive thinking, associated with work success and stable personal and social relationships. These variables typically do not change during college.

Brazilian States' Economic Freedom Index: Applying Fraser's Methodology for 2003–2016 Data

The purpose of the paper is to apply Fraser’s methodology from the Economic Freedom of North America report to Brazilian data. government size, tax and labor market indicators vary among subnational entities. Following Friedrich A. Hayek’s tribute on the occasion the 70th birthday of Ludwig von Mises, the importance of an index for Brazilian States is to bring principles of liberalism—based on clear evidence—to public figures (Hayek 2012), particularly in a country dominated by interventionist ideas since the 1930s. Besides the academic challenge of obtaining and processing data in the same manner as the Economic Freedom of North America, the current turning point in politics and economics in Brazil demands this kind of applied research. The results suggest that the Brazilian states’ freedom scores are getting worse in recent years (2012–16), following the same trend as that of the national index. We argue for the idea that the increasing government interventions at the federal level have spread out to states and municipalities and have had the effect of institutionalizing and justifying decreases in freedom and greater influence of public entities on citizens’ everyday life. The final remarks point out improvement in institutional measures for the index, as an ongoing project as Milton Friedman stated on his foreword to Economic Freedom of the World: 1975–1995: to “bring the indexes of economic freedom up to date and to incorporate the additional understanding that will be generated.”

Technological Defects Faced by the High School Students and Setbacks in their Performance

The purpose of the present paper is to identify the role of A Study on Teaching Methods and Students’ performance management Students performance. The factors of student’s performance such as Teaching Styles (exogenous variable) and Students performance (Endogenous variable) are measured. The endogenous item is students’ perception is measured as single. Method: Survey method was used in the study to collect the data; Structured Questionnaire was distributed to 115 respondents of students (male and female). 15 Questionnaires were found to be unfilled so total 100 respondents (n=100). CFA and SEM were the statistical tools applied for the analysis in AMOS-21 to check the hypothesis of learn. Findings: The study is portraying on positive and significant relation among the exogenous is level of academic challenge and the endogenous is students’ performance. Suggestion: The results display on the paper level of academic challenge and students perception. Uniqueness – This study is an initial try to know, and ‘enhance thelevel of academic challenge variables relating to students’ performance of management Students in Indian context. Limitations: Time period is another factor limitation for the study. Hence findings cannot be generalized.

Impact of Information and Communication Tools in Enhancing the Students Perfromance in Exams

The purpose of the present paper is to identify the role of A Study on ICT and Students’ performance management Students performance. The factors of student’s performance such as ICT (exogenous variable) and Students performance (Endogenous variable) are measured. The endogenous item is students’ perception is measured as single. Method: Overview strategy was utilized in the examination to gather the information; Structured Questionnaire was disseminated to 115 respondents of understudies (male and female). 15 Questionnaires were seen as unfilled so complete 100 respondents (n=100). CFA and SEM were the measurable devices applied for the examination in AMOS-21 to check the speculation of learn. Findings: The study is portraying on positive and significant relation among the exogenous is level of academic challenge and the endogenous is students’ performance. Suggestion: The results display on the paper level of academic challenge and students perception. Limitations: Time period is another factor limitation for the study. Hence findings cannot be generalized.
