EFFECT OF EDUCATOR AGENTS AND MEMBERSHIP METHOD IN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF UNCP STUDENTS

Abstract

This investigation work, was formulated with the purpose of determinate the effect of the education agents (family or precedent school) and the apply mode, on academic performance of UNCP students, having consideration that formation of our students is not only result of what happens in the classroom  but also other factors related whit socioeconomic aspects have influences too. For the effect we used a crosssection design, using a survey for up the information of the socioeconomic aspects (education agents) of the students. This data was crossed with the information provided by the Office of Academic Records of the UNCP, about the weighted average of the semester and cumulative grade point average of students. For the mean difference was used analysis of variance and independent samples test. The analysis determined that only the variables: student’s type of admission, financial dependence and place where they take their food, have influence on the academic performance of our students. The variables: students sex, academic semester, parents degree of instruction, parents occupation, original city of the students, type of school, and precollege academy studied, don’t have important influence on the academic performance our students.
