Effects of Visualization on Academic Performance of College Students
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of visualization
on college students’ academic performance. One control group
and two experimental groups were utilized. The participants
were the first year Bachelor of Science in Psychology students of
Batangas State University. Results obtained from the
experiment showed that visualization has no significant effect
on the academic performance of the two experimental groups.
However, grade improvements were higher in these treatments
compared to the control group. The students’ performance
before and after the visualization showed a computed p-value of
0.16 and 0.20 respectively, higher than 0.05 level of significance
which failed to reject the null hypothesis. On the other hand, the
control group showed significant effect which yielded a p-value
of 0.009 lower than the 0.05 level of significance. The results
also showed a chi-square value of 0.163 for experimental groups
1 and 2 which made the two approaches equally significant in
improving academic performance.

This study was conducted to examine different factors influencing the academic performance of secondary school students in a metropolitan city of Pakistan. The respondents for this study were 10 th grade students (300 male & 300 female). A survey was conducted by using a questionnaire for information gathering about different factors relating to academic performance of students. The academic performance was gauged by the result of their 9th grade annual examination. Standard t-test and ANOVA were applied to investigate the effect of different factors on students' achievement. The results of the study revealed that socioeconomic status (SES) and parents' education have a significant effect on students' overall academic achievement as well as achievement in the subjects of Mathematics and English. The high and average socioeconomic level affects the performance more than the lower level. It is very interesting that parents' education means more than their occupation in relation to their children's academic performance at school. It was found that girls perform better than the male students.
In preparing the 4th edition of "Organizational Behavior," I concentrated on developing several themes that are current in contemporary organizational life. This development included adding new content, expanding previous coverage, and addressing the themes throughout the text to enhance integration.
The global aspects of organizational life have received expanded treatment in this edition.
The changing nature of workplace demographics and a need to provide a welcoming work environment for all organizational members has led to explicit coverage of workforce diversity.
Contemporary organizations are focusing more and more on teamwork.
Many organizations are reengineering, exploiting advanced technology, and experimenting with total quality management programs. These interrelated topics, all involving organizational change, are the focus of another theme in this edition.
Finally, the [textbook] reflects the continuing role of ethics in organizational decision making.
Each chapter concludes with an executive summary, key concepts, and discussion questions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
