Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The aim of this report is to analyze the factors influencing student performance and to develop a predictive model for Grade Point Average (GPA) based on five aspects: demographic details, study habits, parental involvement, extracurricular activities, and academic achievement. Utilizing a multiple linear regression model, this report identifies key factors that significantly impact academic performance. The dataset includes a total of 14 student characteristics, such as parental education level, weekly study time, extracurricular activities, absences and so on. Through stepwise regression, non-significant factors were iteratively eliminated, leading to the development of a predictive model to determine the primary influences on student performance. The research findings underscore the significant role of weekly study time, absences, tutoring, parental support, extracurricular activities, sports, and music in student performance. In contrast, age, gender, ethnicity, parental education, and volunteering have negligible impact on GPA. These insights provide actionable guidance for educators and policymakers to implement targeted measures to enhance student performance.
