Abstract:
This study analyses the factors of
students’ commitment and teaching context
which influence on the academic performance
of students. The study findings reveal that the
students’ commitment, teaching context and
students’ academic performance are in
satisfactory level. Students’ commitment has
positive moderate influence and teaching
context have weak positive influence on the
academic performance of students. The
regression analysis shows that both students’
commitment and teaching context explain
21.4% of variation on the academic
performance of students, while 78.6% of
variation in the academic performance of
students is unexplained by these both
variables. These unexplained variations may
be caused from personality, family
background, prior knowledge, physical and
psychological competencies, cognitive skills of
students and learning habit etc. Therefore the
teacher needs to improve present teaching
context in alliance with personal factors of
students in order to improve students’
learning in business education in a university.
