What Effect Does the Psychological Condition Play on Students’ Performance?

Abstract

There are so many factors that affect students’ academic achievement and performance during their studies. Some have minor effects, while others play a major role in keeping students in or out of the academic institution where they study. The question to be raised here is: how far do students’ psychological conditions affect their academic achievement? In order to fathom the depth of this matter, the researchers have distributed a questionnaire among (22) Information Technology (IT) majors at Ibri College of Applied Sciences in Oman. The results show that the psychological state has a very major role in affecting student’s achievement, especially during the final exams. Explanations, discussions, and recommendations will be highlighted in detail throughout this study.
