Purpose

This paper aims to examine the correlation between academic performance and attendance of e-learning, away from the conventional classroom setting.

Design/methodology/approach

The study investigates the impact of attendance in the final grades of 389 undergraduate first- and second-year undergraduates taking Business Management classes online for the first time over the span of three consecutive academic semesters during an academic year.

Findings

The results show that there was a negative correlation between attendance and grades. However, splitting the results by year provided some insightful information as there was a difference between the relationships for first- and second-year students. Therefore, it can be concluded that both attendance and the year of the students did have a statistically significant influence on grades.

Originality/value

Although the impact of students' attendance on their academic performance has not been the subject of extensive research, especially in the field of Management studies and in an online delivery medium, it is likely to be of interest to academics and policymakers as the pandemic continues to make e-learning more popular.

目的

本文旨在远离传统的课堂环境，研究学习成绩与电子学习出勤率之间的相关性。

设计/方法/方法

该研究调查了 389 名本科一年级和二年级本科生在一个学年的连续三个学期中首次在线学习商业管理课程的最终成绩的影响。

发现

结果表明，出勤率与成绩呈负相关。但是，由于一年级和二年级学生之间的关系存在差异，因此按年份划分结果提供了一些有见地的信息。因此，可以得出结论，出勤率和学生的年级确实对成绩有统计学上的显着影响。

原创性/价值

尽管学生出勤率对其学业成绩的影响尚未成为广泛研究的主题，尤其是在管理研究领域和在线交付媒介中，但随着大流行继续蔓延，学术界和政策制定者可能会对此感兴趣。使电子学习更受欢迎。
