Title: | The role of self-study time in freshmen’s achievement | Authors: | DOUMEN, Sarah BROECKMANS, Jan MASUI, Chris |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Educational Psychology, 34 (3), p. 385-402 | Abstract: | Although invested study time is expected to relate to exam performance, research findings have been mixed. Therefore, the current study examined a) the role of self-study time above and beyond relevant student characteristics, affective-motivational processes (i.e. academic self-efficacy, learning goal orientation, and action-state orientation) and the cognitive learning activities deployed while studying the course (i.e. deep, stepwise, and concrete processing), and (b) whether the effect of self-study time on course grade is moderated by these affective-motivational and cognitive learning activities and/or by student characteristics. Ninety three freshmen following a Macro-Economics course and 70 freshmen enrolling in Financial Accounting 2 participated. For Macro-Economics, self-study time predicted course grade above and beyond relevant student characteristics, the degree of class attendance, and course-specific affective-motivational and cognitive learning activities. No interaction effects were obtained. For Financial Accounting 2, students only benefited from more self-study time when they made few exercises. | Keywords: | study time; cognitive learning activities; volition; motivation; academic performance; higher education | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/16555 | ISSN: | 0144-3410 | e-ISSN: | 1469-5820 | DOI: | 10.1080/01443410.2013.785063 | ISI #: | 000334066000008 | Rights: | © 2013 Taylor & Francis | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2017 |
