Building the Foundation for Improved Student Performance
Rochanda Jackson

2000

This report is the first in a series on Project GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) in the Newark, New Jersey Public Schools. Project GRAD is an education initiative that combines several proven or promising reforms with the goals of increasing reading and math achievement test scores, improving classroom behavior, reducing dropout rates, and increasing rates of college enrollment and graduation. It is designed to be implemented across a feeder pattern of schools and targets inner city schools with a history of low achievement and low graduation and college enrollment rates. This report presents evaluation data from the project's implementation period (1998-99). Data from field research, teacher surveys and focus groups, and analysis of student data indicates that the partnership between Project GRAD and the Newark Public Schools made significant strides toward implementation in Newark in a short time period. Its college scholarship guarantee stimulated interest in and support for the initiative among school staff, students, parents, and community institutions. Implementation of Project GRAD met and exceeded planned expectations. Although neither the reading nor math components had yet been implemented, the program's other components were having a positive effect on some students' achievement. (Contains 31 references.)

Theoretical perspectives on factors affecting the academic performance of students 6 PUBLICATIONS 10 CITATIONS SEE PROFILE
Felicity Beringuela

Whilst the government, higher education authorities and institutions, academics, academic development practitioners, researchers etc. recognize that there is an increasing number and diversity of students accessing higher education, do the stakeholders really know who these students are before even thinking of enhancing their learning and teaching? Certain student retention theories like those of Tinto, Spady and Bean have described the type of students entering higher education, but have failed to describe some real attributes and life-worlds of these students.

Factors Affecting Students' Performance
Ruban Vasanth

2006

Determinants of students' performance have been the subject of ongoing debate among educators, academics, and policy makers. There have been many studies that sought to examine this issue and their findings point out to hard work, previous schooling, parents' education, family income and self motivation as factors that have a significant effect on the students GPA. Most of those studies have focused on students' performance in the U.S. and Europe. However, since cultural differences may play a role in shaping the factors that affect students' performance, it is very important to examine those relevant factors to the UAE society. The aim of this study is to investigate the socio-economic characteristics of students of the College of Business and Economics-UAEU in relation to these students' performance and taking into account variables pertaining to the UAE Society. Using a sample of 864 CBE student and regression analysis, our results show that the most important factor that affects student's performance is the student's competence in English. Besides competence in English, students who participate in class discussion and those on leave outperform other students. The factors that negatively affect student's performance the most are missing too many lectures and living in crowded household. The results also show that non-national students outperform national students and female students outperform their male counterpart.

International Guide to Student Achievement
Kadriye Ercikan

2013

The International Guide to Student Achievement brings together and critically examines the major infl uences shaping student achievement today. There are many, often competing, claims about how to enhance student achievement, raising the questions of "What works?" and "What works best?" World-renowned bestselling authors, John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman have invited an international group of scholars to write brief, empirically-supported articles that examine predictors of academic achievement across a variety of topics and domains. Rather than telling people what to do in their schools and classrooms, this guide simply provides the fi rstever compendium of research that summarizes what is known about the major infl uences shaping students' academic achievement around the world. Readers can apply this knowledge base to their own school and classroom settings. The 150+ entries serve as intellectual building blocks to creatively mix into new or existing educational arrangements and aim for quick, easy reference. Chapter authors follow a common format that allows readers to more seamlessly compare and contrast information across entries, guiding readers to apply this knowledge to their own classrooms, their curriculums and teaching strategies, and their teacher training programs.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE STUDENT PERFORMANCE: A FRESH APPROACH TO AN OLD DEBATE
Juanfran Reyes

Contemporary Economic Policy, 1999

There is a general consensus that student performance at all levels has been deteriorating. Despite numerous attempts by researchers to link school expenditures with student performance, a clear relationship does not exist. Since a number of difficulties plague earlier studies, this paper attempts to remedy these problems by offering a better data design and a sounder methodology. This study uses the J 992 Massachusetts Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test scores from 4th, 8th, and 12th grade students to measure student performance. Since each student's grade falls into one of five possible categories, the application of an ordered logit model incorporates the natural ordering of the MEAP scores. The results indicate that family background and the stability of a community are the main factors affecting student performance. The data suggest that higher levels of spending have no consistent or systematic relation with student performance. (JEL 12, C25)

Student Level Factors Influencing Performance and Study Progress
Aram Afrasiaw

A large proportion of Norwegian youths are students in higher education. This is in line with Norwegian education policy. However, progress and performance are a problem. This is costly both for the individual and for the institutions. This paper examines which student-related factors seem to have a bearing on performance and progress. The analytical model includes sex, age, ability, parenthood, housing expenditures, social background and motivation. Aditional factors which are included are how many hours the students spend on their studies as well as how much and when the students have paid work. The paper also examines whether the study programme may influence performance and progress. Data was gathered in a quantitative study. 565 students in a Norwegian University College completed structured questionnaires. Five explanatory factors were found to have a bearing on performance and progress: ability, motivation, time spent on studies, time spent on paid work and social background. Some of these factors are interdependent. There are few detrimental consequences for academic performance when the students work a moderate number of hours, less than 15 hours weekly.practices with data drawn from classroom observations and scoring rubrics.

Key factors influencing students' academic performance
Ibrahim B . Suleiman

Academic achievement is a multifaceted outcome influenced by a multitude of factors spanning across educational, socioeconomic, and individual characteristics. Understanding the key determinants of students' academic performance is paramount for educators, policymakers, and institutions to enhance learning outcomes and facilitate targeted interventions. The absence of a cohesive framework for understanding academic achievement poses a barrier to effective interventions and policies, hindering educators and policymakers from implementing targeted strategies for student improvement. To address this challenge, it is crucial to conduct a thorough examination of the factors influencing academic performance, prioritizing their identification, exploring interactions, and examining their relative impact. Through this research, educational stakeholders can gain insights to develop evidence-based strategies that foster equitable learning outcomes and pave the way for academic success for all students. In this research, linear regression is chosen as the primary model due to its ability to model relationships between variables, making it suitable for assessing the impact of multiple factors on academic performance. Simulation results show that the proposed model achieved 98% accuracy in predicting the factors that are affecting students' academic performance. The findings derived from the linear regression analysis offer statistical insights into the key factors influencing students' academic performance. It also incorporates visual aids to enhance the clarity and interpretability of the results. This research interprets the implications of these key factors and discusses their broader significance in the context of students' academic performance.
