Book excerpt: The prediction of college grades as a measure of academic performance from individual differences variables has been broadly investigated with a shift emphasis from cognitive predictors to the role of non-cognitive predictors. In this research, the influences of both cognitive and non-cognitive factors in relation to academic performance in higher education were investigated by a descriptive-correlational analysis. This study examined the role of the personality traits, personal values, and aptitude as predictors of academic performance of nursing students. A total of 88 (63 females and 25 males) second year regular nursing students who were enrolled during the second semester of the School Year 2008-2009 in one of the colleges in Manila participated in the study. Their mean age was 18, ranging from 16-24 and with a standard deviation of 1. 2. Research instrumentation includes: 16 Personality Factors (16PFi), Career Orientation Placement Evaluation Survey (COPES), and Nursing Aptitude Test (NAT). Their Grade Weighted Average (GWA) is used to assess their academic performance. Descriptive statistics and correlations were calculated. Data analyses revealed that in terms of personality factors, there is significant negative moderate correlation between academic performance and Reasoning at r = -.463 and both significant negative low correlation on Privateness (r= -.285) and Tension(r = -.295). On the other hand, personal values revealed to have both significant low correlation on Leadership vs. Supportive r =.245 and recognition vs. Privacy at r = .220. With regards to aptitude, a significant negative moderate correlation between academic performance and Verbal Ability is identified at r =-.429 and a significant negative low correlation on Science and Health Information at r=-.335. Regression analysis was conducted and result indicated that Privateness contributed the greatest amount of variation which is 88 percent on academic performance. The study has important implications for institutions aiming for the enhancement of the academic performance of their students and early identitification of students who are at risk and has been critical in their academic performance especially of the nursing students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we speak about the academic achievement of the students and their personality, the internal state of a student is in connection with his personal experience and individual differences and talents, dispositions, motives, his "I" and a whole range of cognitive processes. Modern psychological theories of personality believe that the learning and the achieved academic success represent the overall activity of the individual. It is very important to understand and determine the factors that affect the learning process in order to get a full picture of the personality of the students regarding their achieved academic success. If we analyze the personality of the student in depth, we will understand that the academic success, besides the influence of the curriculum external factors, is significantly influenced by the dominant traits of his personality. The personal characteristics are presented as a set of internal components that determine the success and the quality of action of the students. The relationship between the dimensions of personality and the academic success are the subject of research of many authors. One group of authors puts emphasis on intelligence as a factor for success in the learning process, while another group believes that success depends on the personal characteristics that are dominant in the individual. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the role of the personal characteristics of the students regarding their academic success, and to understand which personality traits are dominant among respondents of male and female gender. For this purpose, in the research we applied the big-five model of personality by which we obtained data on the five dimensions of personality: neuroticism (N), agreeableness (A), openness to new experiences (O), extraversion (E), and consciousness (C). The research is conducted on a sample of 74 students aged 20 to 22 years, whereas the success is a representation of the average score they achieved during their studies. Based on the results of the survey it can be inferred that in the female students there is a positive correlation between openness (O) and extraversion (E) and success at school, and in the male students there is a statistical significance between agreeableness (A) and neuroticism (N) and success in learning. Based on the conducted research we can conclude that the success depends on the personal characteristics of the person. [For the complete Volume 14, Number 1 proceedings, see ED568088.].

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between cognitive and noncognitive variables, and academic performance among Physician Assistant (PA) students. Noncognitive variables (i.e. personality traits) were assessed using the Big Five Inventory and the Marlowe Crown Social Desirability Scale. Academic performance outcomes were defined by the participants’ preclinical GPA, clinical GPA, PACKRAT score, PANCE score, and PANCE pass/fail. Cognitive variables were assessed using participants’ overall preadmission GPA and science GPA. The study followed 146 PA student participants’ in seven class cohorts, from matriculation to graduation (first time PANCE). Pearson correlations were computed for each of the cognitive and noncognitive traits’ relationship to each of the Big Five personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience and extraversion) and academic success variables. Regression analysis was conducted for each of the cognitive and noncognitive traits’ relationship to each of the Big Five personality traits and academic success variables. Overall, three of the Big Five personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion) positively correlate with one or more academic success variable. Specifically, agreeableness seemed to be the most reliable predictor of academic performance. Cognitive variables (overall preadmission and science GPA) positively correlate with one or more academic success variable. The results of the study suggest physician assistant applicants’ prior success and their individual personality traits predict PA school academic performance. Finally, implications, limitations, and cognitive and noncognitive considerations in the admission process are discussed."--Leaf 3.
