- Relationship between undergraduate student confidence, approach to learning and academic performance: the role of gender(2013) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Sander, P. (Paul); Putwain, D. (David)The aims of this research were: (1) Interdependence between academic confidence with approach to learning and achievement, by gender; (2) Model the relationship between the confidence academic, approach to learning and academic outcome. Data from 2429 psychology undergraduate students from three universities (two in Spain and one in the UK) was analysed using parametric tests of difference and structural equation modelling. Working with the ABC scale, the revised study process questionnaire two factor (R-SPQ-2) scale and academic performance measured by grade point average (GPA). The results showed that male students had higher levels of verbalising confidence. The female students showed higher confidence in studying and attendance and a lower surface approach to learning. Higher confidence was associated with a deep approach to learning but not directly with GPA scores. The implications are discussed.
- A Linear Empirical Model of Self-Regulation on Flourishing, Health, Procrastination, and Achievement, Among University Students(2018) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Amate-Romera, J. (Jorge); Fiz-Pérez, J. (Javier); Fadda, S. (Salvatore); Paoloni, P. (Paola); Garzón-Umerenkova, A. (Angélica)This research aimed to analyze the linear bivariate correlation and structural relations between self-regulation -as a central construct-, with flow, health, procrastination and academic performance, in an academic context. A total of 363 college students took part, 101 men (27.8%) and 262 women (72.2%). Participants had an average age of 22 years and were between the first and fifth year of studies. They were from five different programs and two universities in Bogotá city (Colombia). A validated ad hoc questionnaire of physical and psychological health was applied along with a battery of tests to measure self-regulation, procrastination, and flourishing. To establish an association relationship, Pearson bivariate correlations were performed using SPSS software (v. 22.0), and structural relationship predictive analysis was performed using an SEM on AMOS software (v. 22.0). Regarding this linear association, it was established that (1) self-regulation has a significant positive association on flourishing and overall health, and a negative effect on procrastination. Regarding the structural relation, it confirmed that (2) self-regulation is a direct and positive predictor of flourishing and health; (3) self-regulation predicts procrastination directly and negatively, and academic performance indirectly and positively; and (4) age and gender have a prediction effect on the analyzed variables. Implications, limitations and future research scope are discussed.
