Perceived Factors Affecting Academic Learning at UMT

Abstract

This study explores how University of Management and Technology (UMT) students perceive the variables influencing their academic performance. It focuses on three areas: student-teacher ratios, non-academic activities, and chronic absenteeism. The goal of this study of the research is to identify important components, trends, and implications for enhancing learning outcomes at UMT by examining how these factors affect learning in higher education. The research uses a quantitative techniques approach and a quantitative data collection strategy. A sample size of 379 students was established, and questionnaires were distributed over to get their opinions on the factors listed above. The study makes hypotheses about each factor's major influence on learning and tests them statistically. The three characteristics (high student-teacher ratios, non-academic activities, and chronic absence) have a favorable and significant link with student learning, according to the results. These results emphasize how crucial it is to address low student-teacher ratios, nonacademic activity participation, and low attendance in order to enhance academic learning at UMT. Programs that address chronic absenteeism should be put into place, and ideas to maximize classroom space for improved learning opportunities should be investigated.
