Final Semester Student Academic Resilience Level

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to measure the academic fortitude of seniors completing their capstone projects. A total of 202 students from different private institutions in Central Java participated in this study, which was based on a survey research design. After data cleaning, 3 records did not pass muster due to incomplete thesis processes, reducing the usable data set to 199 students. According to the findings, no significant gender difference in academic resilience was found (assuming an equal variance; sig (2-tailed) value of 0.097 > 0.05). After running the independent samples test for comparison, it is clear that the assumption of equal variance holds. Since 0.097 is greater than 0.05, the significance level is two-tailed. This indicates that male and female students are equally resilient in the classroom. This may indicate that students are not very resilient in the face of academic challenges as they enter the final phase of their studies, which often involves writing a thesis. There is also no discernible difference in the distribution of academic resilience between sexes; the vast majority of both sexes fall into the low category.
