A Study of Factors Impacting Student Success in State Universities in the Philippines through Multivariate Regression Analysis

Abstract

This study aimed to unravel the intricate relationship between various factors and student success in state universities using multivariate regression analysis. By examining a comprehensive set of variables—including learner factors, teacher factors, learning facilities, parental guidance, curriculum, lessons, and community—the study sought to identify the key determinants that significantly influence academic success. Data were collected through online surveys from 100 state university students. The findings revealed that a combination of multiple factors, rather than relying solely on community, learning facilities, and parental guidance, is necessary to effectively improve academic performance. While community, learning facilities, and parental guidance may correlate with GPA, they are not the sole predictors of academic performance. To address broader educational outcomes and improve students’ GPAs, it is crucial to consider a wide range of influencing factors, including mediating variables.
