| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study is to a investigation on the relationship between students′ time management skill and their academic achievements over four years of university life. Also, whether time management skill affects differently depending on certain academic subjects and their inter-relationship. In addition, whether these subject have ability to predict the overall ranking was also interested in this study.
The research processes in this study are: first, constructing a questionnaire which is suitable for this study. The questionnaire used in this study was based on a English version of time management questionnaires which was constructed in other related study as a reference, and translated it into Chinese version questionnaire. After the questionnaires were translated, the item analysis was used to ensure its practicability. Moreover, the factor analysis was used to analyze the main factor of Time Management questionnaire. Finally, after applying data using correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and multiple correspondence analysis, the conclusion of questions of interest was drawn.
After completing and analyzing survey, the reliability analysis resulted with Cronbach′s α=0.841 which meant medium to high level of reliability, and also the result of all of its subscales′ (factors′) reliability reached certain level of reliability with Cronbach′s α≥0.6. The outcome of this study demonstrated that the grades of both of subjects (English and Math) in the first semester had positive and significant relationship with Short-Term Planning, and for the second semester, the grades of both of subjects are positively and significantly related to all three factors. Moreover, these three factors were positively and significantly related to Overall Ranking. By using multiple correspondence analysis, the result can be confirmed and led to further discussion on the correlation. Furthermore, both of the subjects′ Academic Achievement had ability to predict the Overall Ranking. Then, the study compared its outcome with other similar researches and discussed their difference. Fianlly, the proposal for the futher investigation can be proposed.
