Academic Performance | Vibepedia

Academic performance refers to the extent to which a student, teacher, or institution achieves their short or long-term educational goals, encompassing various aspects such as academic achievement, educational excellence, and scholastic success. The measurement of academic performance is a complex and multifaceted issue, with different stakeholders emphasizing different criteria, including procedural knowledge, declarative knowledge, and soft skills. According to a study by the [[national-center-for-education-statistics|National Center for Education Statistics]], the high school graduation rate in the United States has increased from 79% in 2009 to 85% in 2019. However, despite this progress, significant disparities persist, with certain demographics, such as [[hispanic-students|Hispanic students]] and [[african-american-students|African American students]], facing unique challenges in achieving academic success. The [[academic-performance-index|Academic Performance Index]] in California and the [[no-child-left-behind-act|No Child Left Behind Act]] are examples of initiatives aimed at evaluating and improving academic performance. As noted by [[howard-gardner|Howard Gardner]], a renowned education expert, academic performance is influenced by a range of factors, including [[motivation|motivation]], [[self-efficacy|self-efficacy]], and [[learning-strategies|learning strategies]].
