Research, Attitude, Academic AchievementsAbstract
The existing study aimed to scrutinize the impact of research attitudes on students' academic achievement. The researcher delineated measures of the research attitude and academic achievement of health and physical education students enrolled in research, the relationship between research attitude and academic achievement of health and physical education students enrolled in research, and analyzed the effects of research attitude upon academic achievement of health and physical education students enrolled in research. The study focused on the population of both private and public sector universities in KP, Pakistan. The sample comprised male and female students in the field of physical education who were actively involved in research activities. Data collection utilized an adapted version of the Attitude towards Research (ATR) instrument. A cross-sectional approach was employed for data gathering, and the researcher applied inferential statistics for data analysis. The findings revealed a negative correlation between research attitudes and academic achievement. Moreover, the study uncovered adverse effects of research attitudes on the academic success of health and physical education students enrolled in research programs.
