Factors affecting students’ learning outcomes at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, An Giang University

Abstract

The knowledge economy stands as one of the development strategies pursued by every nation. Constructing a knowledge-based economy hinges on four pillars: the environment, the education system, the information infrastructure, and the innovation system. Consequently, education plays an integral role, particularly at the university level. To evaluate the educational process at universities, the academic achievements of students are consistently considered. Currently, across universities in general and An Giang University in particular, there is an escalating number of students experiencing poor academic performance, which leads to academic indebtedness, re-examinations, and delayed graduation. Hence, there is an imperative need to investigate the factors influencing students’ learning outcomes within the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at An Giang University. The primary objective of this study is to identify the factors that impact students’ learning outcomes and propose measures for enhancing these outcomes. The research encompasses two phases: qualitative research and quantitative research. Following the survey and data cleansing procedures, the sample size for analysis comprises 350 observations. The analysis outcomes reveal that four variables exhibit a positive correlation with students’ learning outcomes: family and societal factors, scholarships, infrastructure, and motivation. The results of this research are intended to serve as practical documents that can assist academic leaders in making informed decisions to enhance the quality of education within the faculty.
