Factors Affecting Academic Achievement of Nursing Students in Bachelor of Nursing Science Program (2.5 years), School of Nursing, Panyapiwat Institute of Management
Keywords:
Academic achievement, Educational facilities, Learning strategy, Personal factorAbstract
This descriptive correlational research aimed to examine factors affecting the academic achievement of nursing students, focusing on personal factors, learning strategies, and educational facilities. The sample consisted of 23 first-year nursing students in the Bachelor of Nursing Science Program (2.5 years) at the School of Nursing, Panyapiwat Institute of Management. The research instruments included data record forms and questionnaires assessing personal learning motivation, learners’ satisfaction with learning strategies, and learners’ satisfaction with educational facilities. The Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficients for the instruments were .82, .81, and .80 respectively. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Pearson’s correlation and Chi-square were used to test the relationships between variables. The findings indicate that the majority of the sample group had a high level of learning motivation and a moderate level of satisfaction with learning management, but only a low level of satisfaction with learning strategy and the educational facilities in the institution. Furthermore, the study revealed a moderate correlation (r=.547, p=.007) between participants’ previous bachelor degree’s GPAX and their GPAX of the first year in bachelor of nursing science program of study, which was statistically with statistical significance (p<.01).
Based on the findings, it is recommended that broader criteria for recruiting new students to the Bachelor of Nursing Science program could provide greater opportunity for numerous students in Thailand. Expanding the eligibility criteria for admission to the Bachelor of Nursing Science program creates greater educational opportunities by considering applicants with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or higher. This criterion helps identify students who demonstrate strong potential for high-level learning achievement, while supporting the program’s commitment to continuously enhancing the quality of teaching and learning
