Berhanu2 1University of the Punjab, Pakistan 2University of Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT This study was conducted to examine different factors influencing the academic performance of secondary school students in a metropolitan city of Pakistan. The respondents for this study were 10th grade students (300 male & 300 female). A survey was conducted by using a questionnaire for information gathering about different factors relating to academic performance of students. The academic performance was gauged by the result of their 9th grade annual examination. Standard t-test and ANOVA were applied to investigate the effect of different factors on students’ achievement. The results of the study revealed that socioeconomic status (SES) and parents’ education have a significant effect on students’ overall academic achievement as well as achievement in the subjects of Mathematics and English. The high and average socio-economic level affects the performance more than the lower level. It is very interesting that parents’ education means more than their occupation in relation to their children’s academic performance at school. It was found that girls perform better than the male students. Keywords: Quality performance, achievement, socioeconomic demographic factors, gender and academic achievement. status...

...BACKGROUND Introduction In current time, the number of student was increasing. It is a good sign of the gradual development of education here in the Philippines, this improvement was achieved with the help of different organizations (DepEd, CHED, TESDA and DOST) implemented and founded by the government. The government pays attention and gives support in education matters for the reason that they believed it will help the country in the near future, to be more competitive and to level with other countries by producing and molding professionals.

...study more efficiently, achieve better grades and improve academic performance (Salyers, 2005) In India, particularly in Rajdhani College University, most of the students do not follow effective study habits. Survey found out that students do not have sufficient time for self study that’s the reason why they got lower percentage of grades (Kumar, 2015) In national setting, previous study of Mendezabal (2010) showed that the students of University of Saint Louis, Tuguegarao City do not have favorable study habits and attitudes. She noted some of unfavorable study attitudes of students such as inefficient time management, poor reading comprehension, ineffective examination taking techniques, and failure in asking for help from teachers. One of the concerns of the Department of Education (DepEd) is the declining achievement rates of students in Davao Region. This is affirmed in the findings of Ramento (2011) in his study that the declining rates of achievements of both elementary and high school students in Davao City were due to poor study habits or weak study skills, lack of motivation and lack of parental guidance and notably, this is because of being into the labor force. Effective study habits are said to be vital to student’s future, not only academically but also in their everyday life. However, studies and observations revealed that some students may not have developed good study skills necessary for academic success, thereby leads to failure in class. It is, therefore...

...March 17, 2005 The Effects of College Student Employment on Academic Achievement Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jana Jasinski Lauren E. Watanabe ABSTRACT: With college tuition and the cost of living rising, many students find themselves in the position of needing employment while trying to attend classes. This study examines the effects that employment has on college students’ academic achievement and other possible factors that might have contributed. Republication not permitted without written consent of the author. www.URJ.ucf.edu 38 THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL 1: 38–47 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of college student employment on academic achievement. Presently, 55% to 80% of students are employed while attending college (Miller, 1997; King, 1998). These high percentages have led some to believe that students who work suffer from decreased academic performance (Steinberg, Fegley, & Dornbusch, 1993). However, others feel that employment can have a positive effect if in the proper proportions (Dallam & Hoyt, 1981). Research regarding this topic is mixed. Consequently, the current study will attempt to provide further empirical evidence with which to better understand the effects of employment on academic achievement. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Employment among college students has been increasing rapidly. Its effect on the academic performance of students has been questioned by many researchers...

...Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science In Hospitality and Tourism Management Suzanne K. Murrmann, Chair BeomCheol (Peter) Kim Manisha Singal July 9, 2012 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Service Quality, Restaurant Cleanliness, Culture Customer Perceptions of Restaurant Cleanliness: A Cross Cultural Study Seung Ah Yoo (ABSTRACT) What is a clean restaurant in customers’ viewpoints? Restaurant cleanliness is considered one of the most significant conditions when customers evaluate overall restaurant quality or decide their levels of satisfaction. However, there have been few studies of perceptions of restaurant cleanliness in customers’ eyes. Previous studies were found to use inconsistent concepts of restaurant cleanliness when evaluating restaurant cleanliness. For example, some measurement scale of restaurant quality or customer satisfaction includes only items related to a restaurant’s interior appearance to measure the restaurant cleanliness. Some researchers have also included items related to server’s appearance. In other studies, overall images of a restaurant were used to evaluate its cleanliness. This study attempts to investigate the customers’ perceptions of restaurant cleanliness. Understanding what customers consider when they evaluate a restaurant’s cleanliness can be beneficial for hospitality managers who can use the information to increase their restaurant’s quality and to satisfy their customers...

...EVALUATING QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS Abstract Purpose Despite the abundance of research on quality management there is no universal consensus on how best to measure quality in higher education. This paper undertakes a critical evaluation of the different methods used to assess the quality of provision in higher education departments in the UK. Methodology Drawing on relevant literature, the authors develop a quality audit tool that incorporates all key components of effective quality management programmes and apply it to a single UK case study department. Findings The findings suggest that the potential for quality enhancement is determined by the manner in which the evaluation is conducted and subsequent change implemented. Perhaps unsurprisingly there is currently an emphasis on internally derived quantitative data and there is potential to enhance the management of the quality of HE programmes. Research Limitations/Implications This article has concentrated on the development of the quality audit tool and tested this within one UK department. Work is underway to now test the tool on an international basis. Paper type Research paper Key Words quality, higher education EVALUATING QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS Introduction In many countries and many cultures, the issue of quality management has been firmly on the agenda of higher education institutions for quite some time.
