Abstract: The main objective of the paper is to investigate the determinant factors affecting the academic performance of regular undergraduate students of Arba Minch university (AMU) chamo campus students. To meet the objective, the Pearson product moment correlation statistical tool and econometrics data analysis (OLS regression) method were used with the aim of establishing the relationship between factors related to student’s background and family background on academic performance of regular undergraduate students at Arba Minch university chamo campus students. The findings proved the existence of significant relationship between gender difference, university entrance exam, studying hours and academic performance (CGPA). The findings also revealed that there was a significant relationship between students former academic back ground, studying hours, and student’s behavior on taking of alcoholic drug and chat on academic performance of students. On the basis of the findings, the researcher recommended that emphasis should be taken to improve the academic performance of female students, working at the ground with high school students earlier before they joined in to university and Providing Psychotherapy and supporting alcoholic drug and khat taker students to end the use such drug and Khat will bring more fruit to improve students’ academic performance.

1. Introduction

1.1. Back Ground of the Study

Beyond any doubt education plays a pivotal role in the development and progress of a country. In a developing country education gains even more importance.

The issue of poor academic performance of students in developing countries has been much concern at all. In developing countries the problem of poor academic performance leads to the widely acclaimed fallen standard of education. Government investment on higher education and its output in terms of student’s achievement good performance of students has been observed to be unequal with government expenditure. Most of the developing countries are improving their system in an effort to increase their tertiary student’s enrollment ratio1.

Ethiopia possesses a 1700 year tradition of elite education linked to the Orthodox Church. But secular higher educations were initiated in the year 1950 with the founding of university college of Addis Ababa 2. Now a time the Ethiopian government has long recognized to the realization of higher education as a necessity and fundamental human development of the country and also the number of both governmental and nongovernmental higher institutions increased enough as compared with previous situations. In the year 2005 E. C. (2012/13) the total undergraduate enrolment (government and non-government; regular, evening, summer and distance programs) is 553,848 of which 166, 141 are females which accounts for 30% of the total enrolment. In addition, 474,198 (85.6%) of the total undergraduate enrolment is in government institutions. undergraduate enrolment is highest in regular programs and lowest in distance programs. The distance program is the only program in which the non-government undergraduate enrolment is higher than the government enrolment. The regular program accounts for 57.4% of total undergraduate enrolment.

Ethiopian undergraduate student’s enrollment trend in regular program shows an increasing trend over time. For instance in the year 2001/2008/09 the total number of students in rolled in regular undergraduate level was counted as 157424, of the total students enrolled as an undergraduate female students account 28.95% while the remaining 71.1% were male students. And also in the year 2004/2011/2012 the number of regular students enrolled as regular undergraduate program increased by 92805 or to 2502293.

As far as Arba Minch University is concerned in the year 2001/2007/08 the number of undergraduate students enrolled in regular program was 10766, of the total number of students enrolled as undergraduate female students account

33.6% and the remaining 66% covered by male students. The enrollment statistics of the year 2004/2011/12 student’s enrollment number increased by 17.9% or to 13111. And also in the year 2005 E. C. (2012/13) the total undergraduate student’s enrolment is increased to 14,438 Which 11,063 are males and 3,375 are female. So the trend indicates that enrollment of undergraduate student’s increases time to time3.

1.2. Statement of the Problem

Students’ academic gain and learning performance is affected by numerous factors including gender, teaching faculty, students previous education background, students behavior of taking drug including chat, families social, educational and economic status and soon. In Ethiopia there is a quite public investment in the school system more over the increase in the number of students in higher education is a national goal that have been pursued by education policy. For instance Public spending on education, which during the 1980s remained under 10% of total spending, had increased to 23.6% of total expenditure by 2008/09. This constitutes 5.5% of gross domestic product (GDP), one of the highest rates on the continent4.

However in spite of all the excessive government investment, failure to achieve a good performance is a major problem that affects all level of education. At university level failure to achieve a good performance affects many undergraduate students. This problem is a major concern for those involved in higher education4.

The number of students in Arba Minch University enrolled as undergraduate regular program increase time to time. For instance in the year 2001/2001/07 number of undergraduate enrolled as regular undergraduate was 1,0766 and after three years number of students enrolled as regular under graduate program increased to 1,3111. Despite the increasing trend of the enrollment of students, the number of students graduating there by completing the required training tends to increase less proportionally to the enrollment trend and many students fail to achieve good performance and withdrawal from campus or commit readmission.

Since Poor performance of students at university level is a major issue it needs much concern. More of the previous studies focus on primary education level but the problem is not addressed well at university level and much previous research’s conducted abroad. And also in Arba Minch University there is no well-organized study conducted on this problem. So this study primarily designed to fill this gap and conducted to examine factors affecting student’s academic performance at undergraduate level and also try to give insight about the effect of those factors on academic achievement of students or students CGPA.

1.3. Objective and Scope of the Study

The scope of the study is bounded on the determining factors affect the academic performance of undergraduate students in Arba Minch university Chamo campus in 2014. Specifically the paper try’s to address the following objectives:-

(1) To examine differences in academic performance of students across gender.

(2) To examine the effect of student’s former academic performance background on academic achievement at university level.

(3) To explore the effect of family education and income back ground on students’ academic performance /GPA.

(4) To assess the effect of students behavior in taking of alcohol and chat and sexual partnership status on their academic performance.

1.4. Working Hypothesis

The researcher hypothesis important variables as:

(1) Students former school back ground performance positively affects CGPA at university level

(2) students behavior on taking alcoholic drug and chat negatively affects students’ academic performance

(3) family education and income background positively affects students’ performance

2. Literature Review

This section presents both theoretical and empirical literature reviews of related studies.

2.1. Theoretical Literature Review

Undergraduate programs are offered for three, four or more years after completing secondary education. Completion of this program is certified by awarding a bachelor's degree. Undergraduate graduates are those who completed their study at the higher education institutions, and were awarded a bachelor’s or first degree.

Higher education and economic development in sub- Saharan Africa.

Education is widely accepted as a leading instrument for promoting economic growth. For Africa, where growth is essential if the continent is to climb out of poverty, education is particularly important. Higher education is a determinant as well as a result of income, and can produce public and Advances in Sciences and Humanities 2017; 3(4): 35-42 private benefits.4 Higher education may create greater tax revenue, increase savings and investment, and lead to a more entrepreneurial and civic society. It can also improve a nation’s health, contribute to reduced population growth, and improve technology, and strengthen governance.

Higher education and economic development in Ethiopia Ethiopia is currently engaged in highly ambitious effort to re-align its higher education system in more direct support of its national strategy for economic growth and poverty reduction. Its achievement over the past five years has been impressive, and an aggressive expansion policy designed to raise the countries insignificant tertiary enrollment ratio to more respectable levels.

Poverty alleviation in Ethiopia requires sustained economic growth, good governance and political stability in order to be effective. Growth drives from skilled human resource and national productivity increases leading to greater country competitiveness in regional as well as global economy. Productivity gains are generated by national innovation system in which tertiary education institutions play fundamental role. This institution determines levels of capability with in the country’s pool of higher level of managerial, scientific and technological experts. The effectiveness with which global knowledge is accessed and applied in the solution of local development problems and the standard of quality with in lower level of education. The quality of secondary school teachers has a direct relation of the quality of training they receive in universities. Therefore if poverty is to be reduced Ethiopia’s tertiary institutions will have to improve their performance and expand their service delivery. Specifically they must operate more effectively under service resource constraints and orient themselves to demands of the knowledge economy and to the growing emphasis on national capacity building. Higher education development combined with strategic development of the economy and labor force. It can contribute to job creation and productivity there by expands resource and opportunities for the poor people 5.

Government investment on education in Ethiopia Total education spending, public and private, as share of GDP, is relatively high in Ethiopia, given its level of per- capita income and public spending accounts for over 90% of the total. However, the composition of public education spending is relatively top heavy, with higher education absorbing 40% of the total during 2005-08 which share is estimated to have risen above 50% during 2008-10 4.

Worldwide Trend of school drop out

Drop out is a serious existing problem; it describes an excused absence from lessons. The problem cannot be related upon and reviewed by restricted perspective focusing only on school and lessons. Drop out also defined as breaking off from schooling for the rest of the term without a final certification, death and changing school excluded. Drop out also can be expressed as people who fail outside the usual parameters given by society.

Official data gathered by UNESCO proves that from a selection of sub-Saharan countries with a higher drop out and

repetition rate are Chad, Mozambique Mauritian, and Benin shows a higher dropout rate in both sex than Ethiopia.

Higher education’s students drop out in the world considered as those how had left higher education program and withdraw during their higher education study. Drop out / attrition/ can be measured by dismissed or academic failure and withdraw. Drop out is a worldwide problem, but the magnitude or the trend varies between developing and developed countries. A report developed by UNISCO on 88 developing countries shows those 30% students dropout from higher education registered in developing countries. And the national dropout rate in higher education for developing countries accounts on average 12% annually.

2.2. Empirics

This section presents determinants of academic performance of college students explained by previous researchers.

The study of 6 found that high school grade point average is consistently the best predictor of college grade of students. And also the same study held by Anderson, Benjamin and fuss (1994) carried out a study on the determinants of success in university and found out that students performed better in high school also performs better in college and the researcher suggested that high school grades were predictors of academic performance at college without doubt.

A study by 8 on the influence of social and economic disadvantage in the academic performance of school students in Australia found that families where parents are advantaged socially, economically and educationally foster a higher a higher level of achievement in their children. They also found that parents provide higher level of psychological support for their children through environments that encourage the development of skill necessary for success at school. And they pointed out that low social economic status of families negatively affect academic achievement of children’s because of low socio economic status prevents access to vital resources and creates additional stress at home.

Research by 6 on determinant of academic performance shows significant relationship between former school back ground and academic performance of undergraduate students. The regression result of the study shows that significant relationship between former school background and academic performance of undergraduate students. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient index (r) a significant correlation or p-value prevails 0.000 which is less than alpha (0.01) hence this indicates that there is a significant relationship between former school background of students and academic performance at undergraduate level.

A study conducted by9 using primary research and analyzing data for secondary and tertiary level institutions asserted that male students generally under achievement than female students. He further explains that

Research conducted in Zimbabwe analysis that variables

such as gender, age, environment and access to internet explained or determine the academic performance of undergraduate students. Based on to the results obtained from this study gender gaps in favor of male student’s better performance than females students in academic achievement.

A study conducted by9 indicates that the significant relationship between priori educational success of students and their academic performance at undergraduate level and also the analysis proofs the direct relationship between parent’s socio economic background and impacts of friend on academic achievement.

A research carried out a study by 10 on determinates of student performance at university reflections from the Caribbean analyze their study on 900 samples students and the econometric result shows that gender gap in favor of male students is only related with university entrance exam scores. But in undergraduate level female students score high grade or perform better than males. The researcher pointed out the reason that female students perform or score low grade in entrance exam result and they joined in less competitive departments and this situations makes female students perform better or score high CGPA in undergraduate level than male students.

A study carried out by 12 on the determinant of academic performance hec- lausane graduates using tobit model and he analysis econometrically the relationship between different variables related with personal and family backgrounds and average mark of students and he conclude that socio economic background of family and good personal background of students contribute to better academic achievement.

A study by11 on determinants of academic performance of students uses multi-logit method of analysis on money and banking courses and with a sample of 97 students. The regression result indicates that college entrance exam and student’s attendance determines academic performance. A student who attends attentively in class performs better in academic achievement.

A study conducted by 5 on undergraduate students of economics in Osun state indicates that family structure have great influence on academic performance of undergraduate students. According to this study family income and educational levels of parents as well as entrance exam of students determine student’s achievement in education. Students from illiterate parents perform less than students from literate. This infers socio economic background of parents is an impetus to academic growth and performance of students.

An article conducted by 17 on The Determinants of Student Attrition at College of Business and Economics, Mekelle University: Econometric Investigation indicates that

student’s gender, national entrance examination overall results and mother education level significantly correlate with student performance. Female students found to perform lower than male students. Student’s national entrance examination overall result is positively correlated with the student performance which is in line with our expectation. Those Students who do not drink alcohol found to have better academic performance than otherwise. Student’s mother educational background significantly affects student CGPA, i.e. the higher the level of mother education in years the better the student to perform keeping other things the same. For Public and Development Management students we found student’s gender, age and financial constraint to negatively affect academic performance. We also found that national entrance examination overall results and Mathematics result significantly affect student performance. Study hours per day and father education also positively affect student academic performance.

A research carried out by 13 on factors affecting female students academic achievement at Bahir Dar university. They take a sample of 600 students on second year and above undergraduate female students and the result that they obtained shows that academic achievement of female students affected by students personal related factors such as less ability to competent, tension, failing in love easily, being addicted to drinking, smoking, disco houses etc. university related factors such as, influence of male students, lack of proper guidance, lack of proper reading place where students use freely, influence from male teachers and youth from surrounding environment.

3. Research Methodology

3.1. Model Specification

While specifying the model, the researcher takes in to consideration important variables indicated by other researchers in determining students’ academic performance. Moreover, the present study includes additional variables that are not indicated by previous scholars such as; the effect of sexual partnership and studying hours of students on their academic achievement.

Accordingly, the linear model can be written as:-

CGPA = B0 + B1AGE + B2GEN + B3AP + B4FPEM + B5ME + B6FE + B7PI + B8BTAC + B9SEX + B10 +

HS + Ui (1) Where,

B1 > 0, B2 > 0, B3 > 0, B4 > 0, B5 > 0, B6 > 0, B7 > 0, B8 < 0, B9 < 0, B10 > 0

3.2.1. Data and Sampling Design

The study uses both primary and secondary source of data. Primary data has been collected from the selected sample students from each academic department trough questionnaire and structured interview. Secondary data or List of the selected samples from each department has been acquired from Chamo campus registrar office or departmental office.

Because of the heterogeneity nature of the population included in the study the representative sample students selected from each department through stratified sampling techniques. The study assumes each department as strata and sample have been selected from each stratum. Among 1309 total number of second year and above undergraduate students the representative samples are 100. And the representative sample is selected from each department or strata.

3.2.2. Method of Data Analysis

To meet the objective, Econometrics method of data analysis has been used to explain the inferential relationship between academic performance of student’s /CGPA/ and determinant factors of academic performance. Ordinary least square (OLS) has been used to determine the value of parameters and estimating of the model.

Table 2 explains the academic performances of students’ in accordance with their cumulative grade point average. Those students having CGPA of less than 2.5 treated as low performance in academic achievement and students scoring 2.75 and above assumed as high performance in academic achievement. As the table explores of the total 60 male respondents 25 (41.67%) of students perform poorly their CGPA is below 2.5. And the remaining 35(58.33%) of respondents performs better in academic achievement and score 2.75 and above. As far female respondents concerned 27(67.5%) of respondents out of 40 total respondents score CGPA of bellow

2.5 and poorly perform in their academic achievement. The rest 13(32.5%) of female respondents achieve better performance and score CGPA of 2.75 and above.

Table 6. Regression results.

**, ***, indicates statistical significance at 5%, 1% respectively

4.2. Econometrics Result Interpretation

The model satisfy the assumption of linearity, the assumptions of homoscedasticity or constant variance of the error term, no perfect multi co linearity among independent variables, there not be exists specification error / no functional miss specification, the assumption of normality, no serial auto correlation among successive values of the error term. Since the model satisfies the assumption of OLS, we can estimate the effect of such determinant variables on student’s academic performance.

CGPA = 1.49 + 0.0076AGE + 0.1645GEN + 0.0022AP + 0.0003FPEM + .011ME + .00336FE + 0.000002PI − 0.22BTAC − .108SEXP + 0.063HS + UI (2)

The researcher assigns a value level of “1” for male respondents and assigns a value of “0” for female respondent students. And the hypothesis set in the first chapter of this paper entails that male students perform well than female students in academic success or by scoring better CGPA. The regression result also tells us the same thing with that of hypothesized in the first chapter of the paper. The regression held in favor of male students and the result also shows gender difference has significant effect on students CGPA. Male students perform well than female students. Gender difference has no effect on student’s success in academic or the variation in their CGPA. Gender has positive sign and male students perform well than females. The value of the coefficient B for a variable gender is 0.1727, it entails that holding the effect of other things remain constant male students CGPA greater than female students CGPA by 0.1645.

The variable AP measures the effect of student’s university entrance exam result on their academic performance after they joined in to university. The researcher hypothesized variable AP has positive effect on student’s academic performance (CGPA) after they joined in to university. AP has positive sign and significantly determines CGPA at 5% level of significance.

Parental income infers the impact of family’s economic background on student’s achievement in academics. The magnitude of the effect of family income on student’s academic performance is found to be positive. But statistically the variable PI (parental income) has no significant effect on students CGPA.

Behaviors of students in taking alcoholic drug (BTAC) negatively significantly determine CGPA or academic performance of university students and the variable is significant at 5% level of significance. The value of the coefficient B for a variable BTAC is-0.002, it entails that holding the effect of other things remain constant if students addictiveness increased by one unit students being success or CGPA decreased by -0.22. Having sexual partnership measures how creating sexual partnership in campus affects students CGPA academic performance. Even if the variable is not statistically significant but the magnitude for its effect is negative.

Studying hour is significant positive impact on student’s academic performance (CGPA). The value of the coefficient B for a variable HS is-0.063, it entails that holding the effect of other things remain constant if a student increased a studying hours by one hour a student being success or CGPA increased by 0.063.

The overall significance test prevail the combined effect of all variables included in the model best explain the dependent variable. About 79% of the variation or the change in the dependent variable or the change in CGPA is variables included in the model which is due age, gender, university admission point, former background of students regarding English and mathematics courses, socio economic background of families and students behavior in terms of having sexual partner and drug and chat habit and also studying hours.

5. Conclusions and Recommendation

After analyzing the collected information from primary respondents the researcher develops the following conclusion:

The result obtained from the Pearson product moment correlation index and the OLS regression result evidences that Gender has positive sign and male students perform well above than females. The result of this study is in contrast with the result obtained by 9. He pointed out that gender gap in favor of male students is only related with university entrance exam scores. But in undergraduate level female students score high grade or perform better than males.

University admission point is important variable in determining student’s college performance and it is

significantly and positively related to academic performance of student’s /CGPA/. The regression results of this study is in line with6, found that high school grade point average is consistently the best predictor of college grade of students. And with also explains student’s university entrance exam result has positive impact on CGPA of students.

The behavior of students in taking alcoholic drug and khat implying that behavior of taking alcoholic drug and khat were significantly negatively related to academic performance of students /CGPA/ with r = -0.723 and As the regression result infers t- value for variable BTAC found to be negatively significantly determine CGPA or academic performance of university students. The result obtained from the regression is in line with the hypothesis made in the first part of this paper.

The other important variable in determining student’s college academic performance is studying hours. The number of hours students use to study per day significantly and positively related to academic performance of students /CGPA/ with, r = 0.758. Studying hour is significant positive impact on student’s academic performance (CGPA).

Based on the study findings, the researcher recommends:

(1) Emphasis should be given to improve the academic

performance of female students through adjusting special support which may allow female students perform well.

(2) Working in the ground with high school and improving students earlier before they joined in to

university will be more effective so as to improve their academic achievement in college level too.

(3) Providing special support to those students coming from low income family will maintain students to

achievement better.

(4) Providing Psychotherapy and supporting alcoholic drug and khat taker students to end the use of such

drug and Khat will bring more fruit to improve students’ academic performance.
