Effect of Training Program to Improve Academic Buoyancy Among a Sample of Ninth Grade Students with Low Academic Achievement

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of a training program on improving academic buoyancy among a sample of ninth grade students with low academic achievement. The sample consisted of24 male students who were randomly divided into two groups; the experimental group participatedin the training program and the academic buoyancy questionnaire, while the control group did not participate in the training program. The results showed statistically significant levels of academic buoyancy between experimental and control groups, in favor of the experimental group. Theeffect size value for academic buoyancy was 31%. The results of this show that there is an effectiveness of the training program to improve the level of academic buoyancy among ninth grade students who have low academic achievement.
