Factors Affecting Student Performance Outcomes in an Australian University of Technology

This study evaluates factors influencing student performance outcomes in an Australian university of technology, focusing on course experience surveys, student demographics, and teaching performance. By analyzing CES data from semester-1, 2008, factors affecting student satisfaction and performance were identified. Results show a correlation between student engagement, academic staff influence, and student performance. Further research is recommended to improve student pass rates.

  1. AAIR-2009 Student Academic and Learning Perceptions in an Australian University of Technology Presenter: Andrias Paramita – Senior Advisor RMIT Statistics & Reporting (www.rmit.edu.au/sr/contact us)

  2. FOCUS • Factors that affect student performance outcome • CES – Course Experience Survey • Cross tabulated CES & Student Demographic data Evaluating student satisfaction level on teaching and learning performance (progress rate)

  3. Previous Study & Methodology • Learning & Teaching Performance Fund • Pass rate as one of key performance indicator for fund allocation (DEEWR, 2009) • Using Grade Point Average (GPA) as finer measure of student performance (Dobson and Sharma, 1995) • Measurement points: • Data captured from CES (Course Experience Survey) semester-1 2008 which compulsory every semester (form  http://alturl.com/92ik) • Survey population covers 69.1% of the study of University’s courses (1,440 number of courses surveyed) with 45,803 student respondent • Extract grades data of students who studied in semester-1 2008, recoded, summarized and aggregated by course code • Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) calculation: The sum of grades / Number of courses

  4. Result • Student Performance and Demographics Variables

  5. Result - Continued

  6. Result - Continued

  7. Conclusion • Students spending more out of class time, perform better than their counterparts. • Academic staff have major role in terms of student performance • Further research & studies required to investigate student pass rate that tend to improve with age

  8. Questions & Answer • Any questions? • Thank you for your attentions Contact: andrias.paramita@rmit.edu.au
