In this paper we estimate the effect of class attendance on exam performance by implementing a policy in three large economics classes that required students scoring below the median on the midterm exam to attend class. This policy generated a large discontinuity in the rate of post-midterm attendance. We estimate that near the threshold, the post-...

... But in reality, many students do not attend lectures in class due to various reasons. They feel that their presence is not noticed by lecturer, feel that class is boring and useless, going out with friends, and not in such a good mood (Galichon & Friedman, 1985;Dobkin, Gil, & Marion, 2007;Friedman et. al., 2014;Montgomery, 2015;Rijavec & Miljkovic, 2015). ...
Flow is an experience of pleasure and enjoyment in doing an activity, characterized by total absorption which entangles awareness and action. Flow is an important asset for college students in carrying out their academic activities. When students experience a flow condition, they will enjoy and get an optimal learning experience. Student motivation also increases and affects better learning outcomes, and prevents students from boredom and academic stress. In fact, not all learners can get a flow experience. An effort that can be made to build flow in the classroom is to allow for autonomy, giving freedom and control to the learner. Autonomy is one of three components of the Basic Psychological Needs (BPN's) that need to be satisfied so individuals can function and grow optimally. This study aims to determine the relationship between flow in the academic and satisfaction with BPN's (competence, relatedness, and autonomy) in college students. Subjects were 292 undergraduate students in the faculty of Psychology, Airlangga University. The data was collected online right before the pandemic using the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction at Work Scale and The Flow Inventory for Students. Analysis using spearman's rho shows a positive relationship between satisfaction with BPN's and flow in the academic, with an all significance level 0.000 (p<0.05). The correlation coefficient of the three basic needs were 0.480 (competence), 0.310 (relatedness), and 0.416 (autonomy). Thus, the higher student satisfaction with BPN's followed by higher flow in the academic.

... Valuable learning is lost when students are absent or late". Students often encounter a problem with motivation to attend classes [8], and it was observed in the present study that some students who were not athletes also skipped classes. However, this practice was also observed in student-athletes, where the highest percentage was found in those who indicated they "sometimes skip classes for training". ...
Implementing the K-12 program is part of an active effort by stakeholders in Philippine education to solve the shortcomings in the educational system. This new educational framework seeks to deliver a more thorough and well-rounded educational experience for the students. However, this system's implementation and the addition of extracurricular activities like athletics provide several difficulties for students. This study compared the academic performance of athletes and non-athletes in Grade 12 Senior High School (N=60) using their midterm scores and a self-report survey questionnaire after the K-12 implementation. Data from the students' midterm scores and a self-report survey questionnaire administered after implementing the K-12 program were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed no significant difference in the midterm scores between non-athletes (78.13 ± 13.71) and athletes (73.7 ± 9.13), with a p-value of 0.146. The results of the survey questionnaire showed that only two (2) questions out of fifteen (15) (i.e., Do you skip classes? and Do you have enough allowance?) had a significant difference (p>0.05). The results of the current study demonstrated that student-athletes perform academically on par with non-athletes and can function both inside and outside the classroom. They could maintain attendance despite needing more time for training and getting used to the K–12 system. This study generally demonstrated that with the establishment of K–12, Grade 12 Senior High School pupils' engagement in athletics had little bearing on their academic achievement. The study's findings are crucial for promoting and supporting student participation in sports activities across all education stakeholders.

Abstract
Lectures’ attendance it is considered an important factor on academic achievements of students. The main aim of the study is to research the relationships among lectures attendance and academic achievements as well as the influence of lectures attendance on academic achievements of student.The main method of the study is quantitative approach and supported by qualitative approach as well. Three instruments have been used in the study: (1) database of lectures attending by master students of English language at University of Tirana. (2) Database of academic achievements by master students of English language at university of Tirana, (3) semi structured interviews with lectures of master level at University of Tirana. Two samples have been used in the study: (1) students of English language of master level at university of Tirana (n = 141), (2) lectures of master level at university of Tirana (n = 19). Inferential analysis supported by qualitative analysis verified alternative hypothesis. Based on statistical significance value- Sig. (2-tailed) .000 generated by bivariate linear correlation it has been resulted that there are statistical significant relationships among lectures attendance and academic achievements of students. Based on Pearson Correlation value- .530 among lecture attendance and academic achievements it has been resulted that increase of lecture attendance level influence academic achievements level. Based on determination coefficient value R Square .281 generated by bivariate linear regression it has been resulted that 28.1% of variance in academic achievements dependent variable has been predicted or has been influenced by lectures attendance independent variable.

Evaluation in second language (SL) teaching is of fundamental
significance to all-inclusive praxis of language teaching and its reconsideration in the setting of Pakistan may direct to an improved and better
teaching and learning process. In this post-industrial era, assessment system
which is founded on well-defined and objective lines will not only be useful in
reflecting the spoken competency of students in a precise and consistent
manner, but also helps them get lucrative jobs in the market. The research
was conducted to find out the ways and means utilized to evaluate the spoken
language proficiency of students at the National University of Modern
Languages. For this purpose, a semi-structured questionnaire was developed
and pilot-tested, and its validity and reliability was confirmed before
administration. The data were also collected through an observation sheet to
find out how exactly the teachers evaluated the students of undergraduate
studies. The researcher used the model of communicative language testing
for the development and analysis of the questionnaire and the observation
sheet. The data display that there are many loopholes such as indirect,
subjective and invalid way of assessing the spoken language proficiency in
the evaluative system of the university, and thereby suggestions for the
improvement have also been made.

The aim of the study was to find the impact of terrorism gender, per capita income, father's education, study hours, class attendance, class size, co-curricular activities and teaching techniques on students' performance. The data was collected through questionnaire taken randomly in the classes. Multiple linear regression model was employed on the collected data. The results of the findings revealed that per capita income, study hours, class attendance, co-curricular activities and teaching techniques were positively associated with student performance and were statistically significant also while terrorism showed negative correlation with student performance. It is concluded that the terrorist activities had worst consequences on the students' mind and ultimately decreased the performance in their studies. On the basis of these empirical findings, to keep students safe from terrorism, students should acquire trainings to protect themselves in such critical situation. On the other hand universities should have high security arrangements inside the universities.
