Predictors of Academic Buoyancy: A Study of Demographic Correlates

Abstract

Academic buoyancy refers to to learners’ potential to face challenges and difficulties that are regular in nature under educational settings or environment. Demographic correlates were found and its effect on academic buoyancy was obtained through regression analysis. The sample consists of 1200 high school students belonging to three different boards of Lucknow City. Multiple regression analysis was done in variables where independent variables which are non-metric and a single dependent variable viz. academic buoyancy is metric in nature. Regression analysis is done through dummy coding where predictors of academic buoyancy are found by keeping one benchmark sub-category in each category.

The Relationship Between Achievement Goal Orientation and Academic Buoyancy in Mathematics among Secondary School Students in FELDA Areas, Malaysia

“…In addition to having an outstanding aim for learning mathematics, it's critical for children to have positive self-regulation to be resilient during the process. Recent studies validated Biggs's concept [15,17]. The studies focused on two aspects of goal orientation: academic atmosphere (the interaction between a child's academics, family and school), and self-efficacy, specifically self-awareness (clarity), low anxiety (composure), confidence, commitment, and selfcontrol.…”

Perbandingan Academic Buoyancy Mahasiswa yang Bekerja dan Tidak Bekerja

“…Academic buoyancy mahasiswa yang bekerja menurut penelitian Hiunata & Linda (2019) menyatakan bahwa pada kategori tinggi sehingga mahasiswa tersebut dapat mengatasi kecemasan dengan memprioritaskan stressor yang penting dan mendesak dihadapi terlebih dahulu diselesaikan dibanding yang lain serta dapat menenangkan diri sejenak. Dengan kata lain mahasiswa yang bekerja mampu membuat perencanaan masa depan dengan baik dan juga mampu menetapkan batas untuk optimal baik dalam pekerjaan maupun perkuliahan (Panjwani & Aqil, 2020). Lebih lanjut Hiunata dan Linda menyatakan untuk mahasiswa yang tidak bekerja diharapkan membuat rencana belajar lebih detail dan membuat target nilai yang sesuai dengan kemampuan diri sendiri.…”
