Introvert and extrovert personality: Is it correlated with academic achievement of Physical Education, Health and Recreation students at university level?

Abstract

Psychological elements, namely introverted and extroverted personalities, are currently one of the keys to determining success in academics at the University level, but it is not clear which type is more correlated with academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between introverted and extroverted personalities with student academic achievement. The subjects in this study come from the PJKR Department of the University of Suryakancana (N=20) and Halu Oleo (N=20). Data analysis uses SPSS version 25 to find descriptive statistics, normality, data linearity and person product moment correlation. The level of significance used is 0.05. The results of the study finds that introverted personality is significantly correlated with academic achievement in the high category (r= 0.749**), and extroverted personality is not significantly correlated with academic achievement (r= -0.120). Thus, it can be concluded that the personality of students with introverted type is far superior to extroverts in academic achievement at the University level. The contribution in this study contributes to knowledge in the field of physical education psychology, so that later lecturers can pay more attention and optimize academic achievement in students with both types, especially the extroverted type.

Discussion in the study of Jumareng et.…”

“…This is due to their ineffective study habits. In short, Hakimi's (2011) study shows that there is a significant negative relationship between extrovert personality and student academic achievement while Jumareng et. al (2021) and the study of Muza et.…”

“…In short, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the education sector in Malaysia and it will disrupt the engagement of students, whether extroverted students or introverted students in learning and further affect their academic achievement. One of the main challenges faced by teachers during online teaching is the difficulty of engaging extroverted and introverted students in virtual learning effectively (Jumareng et. al., 2021).…”

“…Te core quality of physical education emphasizes the basic, practical, ftness, and comprehensive characteristics of the physical education curriculum. It requires physical education teachers to organize teaching activities from four aspects: sports morality and cultivation, sports interest and ability, healthy behavior and habits, and sports quality and will [12,13].
