统计学士学位课程中本科生学习成绩的决定因素

本研究旨在调查许多人口统计学和学术因素，例如性别，年龄，国籍（阿联酋vs非阿联酋），高中专业（艺术与科学）和高中成绩对学习成绩的影响–这项研究涵盖了2012-2013年至2015-2016学年的188名统计学专业的本科生（142名女性和46名男性），以总平均绩点衡量。使用描述性和推论统计方法对收集到的数据进行分析。结果表明，性别，年龄和国籍对统计学学士学位课程的本科生的学习成绩没有显着影响，而高中专业和高中分数却有显着影响。这项研究有几个局限性。第一的，本研究仅包括一所大学的学生，这将限制结果的推广性。其次，该研究集中于有限的因素对本科统计学学生的学习成绩的影响。但是，该研究对学生，教育者和大学决策者有许多启示。本研究是首次尝试探索可能影响阿拉伯语环境下统计学士学位课程的本科生学习成绩的因素。
