| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to examine and identify whether factors such as previous
academic result (SPM), gender and time management could determine differences among
students, based on academic performance or grade point average (GPA). A total of 551
undergraduate students from four universities participated in the study. Students with a GPA
of 3.50 or greater significantly differed in their level of time management than those with a
GPA of less than 2.50. In terms of gender, female students were found to have higher GPA
than male students. However, students enrolled with excellent SPM result did not differ
significantly in term of their GPA from students enrolled with low SPM result. Results from
ANOVA and t-test showed that time management and gender, not previous academic result,
were the important factors to distinguish students with low or high academic performance.
The implication of this study showed that academic excellence among undergraduates did not
rely solely on previous academic result, but the role of time management and gender did play
significant factors in distinguishing high achievers vs low achievers. |
