RRL Academic Performance

The document discusses several factors that can affect students' academic performance, including gender, age, socioeconomic status, previous schooling, and study habits. Many studies have found that students' effort, parental education background, family income, motivation, and entry qualifications influence performance. While it is often assumed that better performance early on predicts future success, some research has found this is not always the case, as other factors at the university level can also impact achievement.

Students academic performance is affected by numerous factor including gender, age,

teaching faculty, students schooling, father/guardian social economic status, residential area of

students, medium of instructions in schools, tuition trend, daily study hour and accommodation

as hostelries or day scholar. Considine and Zappala (2002) noticed the same that parent’s

income or social status positively affects the student test score in examination. According to

Minnesota (2007), thee higher education performance is depending upon the academic

performance of graduate students. Staffolani and Bratti, (2002) observed that “the

measurement of students previous educational outcomes are the most important indicators of

students future achievement, this refers that as the higher previous appearance, better the

student’s academic performance in future endeavors.

Lot of studies have been conducted in the area of students achievement and these studies

identify and analyze the number of factors that affect the academic performance of the student

at school. Their finding identify students’ effort, previous schooling, parent’s educational

background, family income, self motivation of students, age of student, learning preferences

and entry qualification of students as important factors that have effect on student’s academic

performance in different setting. The utility of these studies lies in the need to undertake

corrective measures that improve the academic performance of graduate students.

It is generally assumed that the students who showed better or higher performance in the
starting classes of their studies also performed better in future academic years at degree level.
Everyone can be surprised with this assumption if it could be proved scientifically. From the last
two decades it has been noticed significantly that there is great addition in research literature
and review material relating to indicators of academic achievement with much emphasis on this
dialogue, whether traditional achievement measures of academic performance are best
determinants of future academic gain at university or higher level or innovative measures.
However, it is also observed that many of the researchers are not agree with this view point or
statement. Reddy and Talcott (2006) looks disagree with these assumptions that future
academic gains are resolute by preceding performance. In their research on the relationship
between previous academic performance and subsequent achievement at university level, they
found that students learning or studying at graduate level and the score secured did not predict
any academic achievement at university level.
