Ed june 22, 2013; revised july 30, 2013; accepted august 01, ctthe present research study was design to investigate the factors affecting academic performance of graduate students of islamia university of bahawalpur rahim yar khan campus. The variables under consideration were the academic performance (student’s grades/marks) as a dependent variable and the gender, age, faculty of study, schooling, father/guardian social economic status, and residential area, medium of schooling; tuition trend, daily study hours and accommodation trend were independent variables. The findings revealed that age, father/guardian social economic status and daily study hours significantly contribute the academic performance of graduate students. A linear model was also proposed that will be helpful to improve the academic performance of graduate students at university ds: academic performance public sector school education medium of instruction. Introductionstudents academic gain and learning performance is affected by numerous factor including gender, age, teaching faculty, students schooling, father/guardian social economic status, residential area of students, medium of instructions in schools, tuition trend, daily study hour and accommodation as hostelries or day scholar. Many researchers conducted detailed studies about the factors contributing student performance at different study levels. According to minnesota (2007) “the higher education performance is depending upon the academic performance of graduate students. Durden and ellis quoted staffolani and bratti, (2002) observed that “the measurement of students previous educational outcomes are the most important indicators of students future achievement, this refers that as the higher previous appearance, better the student’s academic performance in future of studies have been conducted in the area of students achievement and these studies identify and analyze the number of factors that affect the academic performance of the student at school, college and even at university level. Their finding identify students’ effort, previous schooling, parent’s educational background, family income, self motivation of students, age of student, learning preferences and entry qualification of students as important factors that have effect on student’s academic performance in different setting.

Literature review on performance appraisal project

The utility of these studies lies in the need to undertake corrective measures that improve the academic performance of graduate is generally assumed that the students who showed better or higher performance in the starting classes of their studies also performed better in future academic years at degree level. From the last two decades it has been noticed significantly that there is great addition in research literature and review material relating to indicators of academic achievement with much emphasis on this dialogue, whether traditional achievement measures of academic performance are best determinants of future academic gain at university or higher level or innovative measures. Reddy and talcott (2006) looks disagree with these assumptions that future academic gains are resolute by preceding performance. In their research on the relationship between previous academic performance and subsequent achievement at university level, they found that students learning or studying at graduate level and the score secured did not predict any academic achievement at university level. Between graduate level marks and university degree is also confirmed in the study of oregon state university (2003) on graduate admissions that normal measures of educational potential and academic performance such as high school gpa (grade point average) scores showed only 30% of the deviation in initial or starting (first) year at college. It is important to note that even these studies do not agree with the former studies who explored that previous achievement affect the future performance of the students in studies, they confirmed that the admission scores are related to academic performance at university level but to a very minimal extent. Mcdonald (2001) also suggested that the scores of graduate level studies still out perform any other single measure of cognitive aptitude in predicting success at university ’s socio-economic condition, which includes parents’ academic and professional qualification, revenue and occupational affiliation, is also associated with academic gain of students. The results of many studies confirmed that academic achievement of students is contingent upon parent’s socio-economic condition. Among many research studies conducted on academic achievement, it is not very surprising to observe that socio-economic status is one of the main elements studied while predicting academic (1995) conducted a study on socio-economic status of the parents of students and concluded that the socio economic background has a great impact on student’s academic performance, main source of educational imbalance among students and student’s academic success contingent very strongly on parent’s socio economic standard. Considine and zappala (2002) also having the same views as graetz (1995), in their study on the influence of social and economic disadvantage in the academic performance of school students noticed, where the parents or guardians have social, educational and economical advantage definitely strengthen the higher level success in future.

The total income of families, monthly or annually and their expenditures also put a great effect on the learning and academic opportunities accessible to youngsters and their chances of educational success. The view point of considine and zappala is more strengthen by this statement of eamon, according to eamon (2005) “those students usually come out from low socio-economic status or area show low performance in studies and obtained low scores as compared to the other students or their counter parts”. Is also assumed that children learning outcome and educational performance are strongly affected by the standard and type of educational institution in which students get their education. Considine and zappala (2002) quoted sparkles (1999) showed that schools environment and teachers expectations from their students also have strong influence on student performance. Most of the teachers working in poor schools or schools having run short of basic facilities often have low performance expectations from their students and when students know that their teachers have low performance expectations from them, hence it leads to poor performance by the students. Kwesiga (2002) approved that performance of the students is also influenced by the school in which they studied but he also said that number of facilities a school offers usually determine the quality of the school, which in turn affect the performance and accomplishment of its students. All these educationists and researchers agreed with this principle that schools put strong effect on academic performance and educational attainment of ts from elite schools are expected to perform good because they attend these elite schools and the main reason behind is that these schools are usually very rich in resources and facilities. Some researchers have the view that school ownership and the funds available in schools do indeed influenced the performance of the student. These additional funding resources and facilities found in private schools enhance academic performance and educational attainment of their students. It is also very pleasing that students from govt schools colleges and universities in punjab pakistan are providing the laptops by the punjab government, so that the students could interact with the whole world and know about the latest developments and is concluded that the type of schools in which students studies greatly influence the educational performance and academic achievement of the students.

Miller and birch (2007) summarized the views of many researcher and educationist in their study on the influence of high school attended on university performance. This study let the research scholars to hypothesize that the background to the students positively correlates with the academic attainment of graduate students. H = on average the academic performance of graduate students with respect to their schooling perspectives or background (i. H = on average the academic performance of graduate students with respect to their residential area (i. H = on average the academic performance of graduate students with respect to their medium of instruction in school (i. H = on average the academic performance of graduate students with respect to their accommodation (i. Graduate student academic performance was taken as a dependent variable and gender, age, faculty of study, schooling, father/guardian social economic status, residential area, medium of schooling, tuition, study hour and accommodation as an independent variables. For testing the hypothesis that the academic performance of graduate students of islamia university of bahawalpur rahim yar khan campus varies with gender using built in t-test function in spss. In the above summary academic performance is used as dependent variable and the gender, age, faculty of study, schooling, father/guardian social economic status, and residential area, medium of schooling, tuition, study hour and accommodation as independent variables. We have the following findings:R2=31% : this shows that 31% variations in academic performance due to the gender, age, faculty of study, schooling, father/guardian social economic status, residential area, medium of schooling, tuition, study hour and accommodation.

The coefficients of age shows that a unit increases in age cause of decrease in academic performance by -0. This coefficient is significant at 5% level of coefficients of government (medium of schooling) shows that a unit increases in government (medium of schooling) cause of increase in academic performance by 0. The coefficients of income shows that a unit increases in income cause of increase in academic performance by 0. The coefficients of urban (residential area) show that a unit increases in urban cause of decrease in academic performance by -0. This coefficient is insignificant at 5% level of coefficients of urdu medium (medium of schooling) show that a unit increases in urdu medium (medium of schooling) cause of decrease in academic performance by -0. The coefficients of tuition show that a unit increases in tuition cause of decrease in academic performance by -0. The coefficients of study hour show that a unit increases in study hour cause of increase in academic performance by 2.

Hostel life might be beneficial that it provide environment or peer study group but in results its effect is not significant on student’s performance. We took student academic performance (test score) as a dependent variable and gender, age, faculty of study, schooling, father/guardian social economic status, residential area, medium of schooling, tuition, study hour and accommodation as independent variables. The impact of other factors may also on academic performance (test score) but it is not strongly significant therefore we should exclude from correlation analysis shows the age, income and hour have significant role in improving the student performance of graduate student. In short we rank the association level of different independent variable with academic performance as follow: age on 1st position, income on 2nd position and hour on 3rd position test the hypothesis that the academic performance of graduate students of islamia university of bahawalpur rahim yar khan campus varies with gender, schooling, and residential area, medium of schooling and accommodation as follows;. State our hypothesis as:H0 = on average the academic performance of graduate student with respect to gender (i. Is greater than 5%, so we do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude at statistically the performance of graduate student do not vary with gender, residential area and accommodation.

Is less than 5%, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude at statistically the performance of graduate student vary with schooling and medium of endationbecause this study only for islamia university of bahawalpur rahim yar khan campus.

Similarly sirin (2005) found medium to strong relationship between socioeconomic status of students and their academic achievement. The current literature has also added family income, mother’s educational attainment, as well as a measure of family structure to more comprehensively measure socioeconomic status in relation to students’ academic achievement. Students’ educational or academic achievement is considered as an indicator of students’ success on education. Students’ academic achievement is defined as “the educational outcomes, or the extent to which student, teacher or institution has achieved its educational goals (wikipedia. Bradely and corwyn (2002) through their review of literature found that socioeconomic status affects children’s cognitive development right from the infancy and that parental education and their economic conditions affect children’s academic performance later in purpose of this literature review is to analyze the literature to find the impact of parents’ socioeconomic status on students’ academic achievement at school. This issue is significant because the relationship between socioeconomic status and students’ academic achievement will provide an important insight into the issue for the educational leaders as well as governments to take initiatives to improve in this there are several indicators of socioeconomic status as indicated by sirin (2005), this literature review will consider and focus on three indicators of parents’ socioeconomic status i.

Their educational level, their occupation, and their major research question is:What is the relationship between parents’ socioeconomic status and students’ academic achievement? This can be split into sub questions based on the three indicators of socioeconomic status (ses) as follows:What is the relationship between parents’ educational level on students’ academic achievement? On the relationship between home or family, community and school and its effects on students’ academic performance spans over decades now. This literature review throws light on one of the facets of home, community and school partnerships and its effects on students’ academic performance and that facet is the socio-economic status of parents. Research has found that parents’ socioeconomic status has its influence on students’ academic conomic status of parents hinder and limit their involvement in academic activities of their children either due to their lower level of educational attainment, or due to their compelling commitments, which ultimately influence the academic performance of their children at school. According to epstein home and school partnership strategy can positively influence students’ academic performance and their level of gratification. Secondly, they concluded that socio-economic status of parents limit their participation and involvement in academic activities of their school going children. Since according to epstein (2010) parental involvement is related to students’ academic performance, hence these socioeconomic status issues produce negative impact on students’ conomic status of students affects their academic performance and hence graduation rate. Thus ses background affects educational aspirations and academic performance not only during college but also after the college. Sirin (2005) also verifies the negative impact of parents’ socioeconomic status on students’ academic achievement at school.

The research considered journal articles published between 1990 and 2000 to find the impact of socioeconomic status on students’ academic achievement. The results of this analysis showed that there exists a medium to strong relationship between socioeconomic status and students’ academic achievement. This relationship is medium level at student level and larger at school sting to the previously discussed studies, sackett, kuncel, beatty, rigdon, shen, and kiger (2012) found that ses have least impact on students’ academic performance in secondary schools and universities. They analyzed information on revised sat scores, high school gpa, freshman’s academic performance, and socioeconomic status of parents data of 143, 606 students entering 110 different us colleges and universities in 2006. The data set was compared to 41 schools’ data set including previous versions of sat scores, and ses analysis of at university of california to find the role of ses in predicting secondary school performance, and freshman’s academic performance. Contrasting to the previously discussed studies, this research found that sat score was stronger predictor of students’ academic performance at secondary school and university compared to ses and high school performance. While ses was found to have least impact on subsequent academic performance of these gh the research of sacket and his colleagues bring interesting facet of the issue, majority of the research findings conclude a strong relationship between socioeconomic status and students’ academic performance at high school and subsequent levels of education. The next part of this literature review will consider the impact of individual ses indicators on students’ academic of parents’ educational level on students’ academic ch finds that parental educational attainment and family income affects students’ academic performance by controlling the behaviors and expectations of parents towards their kids and that there exists a positive relationship between educational attainment and family income of parents and academic performance of students. The results of this study indicate that educational attainment of parents direct their beliefs, behaviors and expectations regarding their children’s academic achievement. Ziol-guest, duncan, and kalil (2015) also found the positive relationship between parents’ educational attainment and students’ academic performance and hence their graduation rates.

The results of this study not only showed negative impact of single parenting on students’ graduation rates but also predicted significantly positive relationship between maternal educational attainment and students’ graduation analysis of the above research findings shows that parental educational attainment is strongly related to the students’ academic performance, their graduation rates, and further education. As per their findings, parents with lower educational attainments have difficulties in understanding the changing curricula especially in the higher grades, which hinder their involvement in academic activities of their children and this can be one of the reasons that their children’s academic performance is lower compared to those students whose parents have higher educational s’ financial status and students’ academic s’ financial status is another important indicator of socioeconomic status and has be researched for its impact on students’ academic performance. Students’ academic performance was measured in terms of academic grades that they secured during their academic assessments. The analysis of data found that students’ academic achievement is directly related to the students’ socioeconomic status. The results showed an increasing trend in academic achievement (grades) with increasing income of parents/guardians. These trends help establish the relationship between financial status of parents and students’ academic achievement. His research found significant correlation between years lived in poverty by a student and the probability of completing high school at the age of 19 years, which shows the negative impact of low financial status on students’ academic achievement. Ziol-guest, duncan, and kalil (2015) in their research on the impact of single parenting on students’ academic achievement also found the financial factors affecting the students’ graduation rates. Since single parenting is usually associated with lower financial income, which was found to have negative impact on students’ academic performance and hence graduation rates. Since parents’ financial status is related to their occupational status, therefore, this review considers both representing each other.

Based on the assumption that occupational status is related to financial status, this review concludes that occupational status is also related to students’ academic performance the same way as financial status is. Hence it can be explained that good occupational status of parents will predict better academic performance and graduate rates among on the research literature discussed above, it can be concluded that socioeconomic status of parents is strongly related to students’ academic performance, their high school graduation rates as well as their subsequent career choices, and income levels. Although, there still exist research findings which give low scores to the role of socioeconomic status of parents in academic performance in subsequent college and university education, however such facets of the issue require further research before establishing these findings. Considering individual indicators of ses it is concluded that parents’ educational attainment, and their financial and occupational status are significantly related to academic performance and high school, and subsequent graduation rates of their children. The major reasons for lower academic performance and school graduation rates are found to be the weak occupational, financial, and educational attainment levels hindering parental involvement in the academic activities of their findings ask for efforts to facilitate parents with special requirements like training them in higher curricular activities of their children to help them understand and help their children more efficiently and effectively. The impact of financial status of parents on students’ academic performance and graduation rates is a serious concerns which also requires special attention from the policy makers and educational y, r.
