Absenteeism to class. WHAT is it?
“......it is the habit of not being at school or work, usually without a good reason when one should be,.....”(Fayombo, 2011)
The controversy on students’ absenteeism, participation in class activities and their overall performances in university courses of study or modules, continue to be a major concern.
Of particular challenges to administrators and lecturers in and outside institutions of higher learning in the Caribbean is students’ non-attendance to class (Onyefulu, 2011; Fayombo, 2011).

Some reasons for students’ absenteeism include:Lack of psychological resilience
(Fayombo, 2011)Too busy doing assignments for other
classessLikes for some courses and dislikes for
othersUnfit or non-convenient time/days
scheduled for classes (Onyefulu, 2011).

Factors attributed to students’ poor academic performances in many higher educational institutions in Jamaica include:
Difficulty level of a course/modulePoor time managementPoor study habbitsOver crowded academic schedulesPedagogical styleLack of motivationOther academic distractions (Onyefulu,
2011)

Not many studies appears to have been directed specifically on Engineering students at UTech.
Even though ample evidences exist that cases of absenteeism is very common among engineering students.
(Just imagine this video clip)

Attendance rates in public schools at all levels across Jamaica remained relatively low for quite some time now. (The Jamaica Observer, August 2009)

The situation is heading towards a gradual decline of the educational system.
If not curtailed it may lead to:
poor quality of graduates
imbalance in the national and regional or even global industrial development due to incompetent workforce/professionals
public nuisance and increased crime rate

To examine the relationships between students’:
attendance participation and
performance in Engineering Statics
(Engineering Statics is a year one module at UTech)
![Page 13: Correlational study revise2. ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/558d3b60d8b42a79688b478b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. What relationship exists between students’ attendance to classes and academic performance in Engineering Static?
2. What relationships exist between students’ class participation and performance in Engineering Static?

A correlational research design was employed for this study.
Data were collected using:
students’ records of attendance coursework quizzes midterm tests laboratory work and final examination
Data were analyzed using the SPSS software:
descriptive statistics was employed
Pearsons’ correlation “r” was used to interprete the results

The findings of the study showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between:
students’ attendance and participation in class
students’ attendance and performance in class
students’ participation and performance in various components of the module
![Page 25: Correlational study revise2. ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/558d3b60d8b42a79688b478b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The relationship between attendance and overall performance was shown to have a co-relational coefficient of 0.656
The relationship between participation and performance was 0.587
The more students attend and/or participate in classes, the better they will perform.
![Page 26: Correlational study revise2. ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/558d3b60d8b42a79688b478b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lecturers should incorporate planned scheduled quizzes at the beginning of the session
Administrators in each engineering department
should coordinate how the assignments are scheduled
Mandatory attendance to class should be revived and be enshrined and enforced into the Engineering Faculty policy for module delivery to ensure:
increased students’ attendance to class and
increased students’ performances
