It is a general perception that there are some personal characteristics, learning habits, previous academic background and college environmental factors which affect performance of the students at university level. These factors are directly or indirectly correlated with the students' performance. There are so many opinions about the impact of these factors. Some academicians think that personal characteristics, learning habits are more important whereas others argue that previous academic background and college environmental factors are more related with the students' performance. But there is substantial evidence that the views expressed by different stakeholders are not always consistent. Numbers of papers have been illustrated on the related topic and different multi-variable models have been developed to predict students' performance. This review article presents the results of some empirical investigations and illustrations of researches in the past. A new approach for tabulation of review papers is presented here which will ease and help the future researchers in their work.

“…In the education setting, students' academic performance refers to the academic achievement as outcomes that signifies the degree to which a learner has attained specific goals that were the center of the activities in an instructional situation e.g. university, college and school (Ekpiken and Edet, 2014;Ayuba and Mohammed, 2014;Yahaya, 2015). Students perform very well when they understand the subject teaching by teacher.…”

Teacher knowledge has been regarded as important tool for improving students’ academic performance. Thus, the knowledge gained by teachers would transform teaching activities in the classroom. It is imperative for Nigeria teachers to keep abreast of latest information that would help teaching and learning in Nigeria secondary schools. Therefore, this study examined structural equation modeling to determine the relationship between teacher knowledge and students’ academic performance with mediating effect of teacher commitment. A quantitative research approach was used to determine the relationship among the three variables. Four hundred (400) teachers were selected through stratified random sampling technique. Structural equal modeling (SEM) analysis was employed to test the data fitness in with constructs formulated in the model. Based on the findings of the study, there was direct and significant relationship between teacher knowledge and students and academic performance. Also, teacher commitment was able to mediate on the relationship between teacher knowledge and students’ academic performance. The findings encourage the schools to up-date their teachers by given them in-service training.

“…Previous research reported a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and academic achievement (Mushtaq et al, 2019;Olufemi et al, 2018;Olatunji et al, 2016;Van Zyl et al, 2015;Santos & Celis, 2020;Arora & Singh, 2017;Ayuba & Mohammed, 2014). Most of these studies used the cumulative grade average (GPA) of undergraduate students as a measure of academic achievement (e.g., Frimpong et al, 2016;Olatunji et al, 2016;Agyeman et al, 2016;Mushtaq et al, 2019).…”

Studies examining variations in students’ Academic Achievement (AA) have considered several factors including demographic factors such as age and gender; socio-cultural factors such as family background; university- related factors; student-related factors such as learning styles and socio-economic factors such as family income and expenditure. Two more factors that have gained prominence in the literature are the students’ Emotional Intelligence (EI) and engagement (SE). Multiple studies have reported on the separate effect that the two constructs have on students’ academic achievement. Nevertheless, to the researchers’ knowledge, few have reported on the incremental effect that engagement might have, over and above emotional intelligence, on students’ academic achievement. Thus, the aim of the current study is to fill the gap by exploring the extent to which students’ engagement can contribute to their achievement while controlling for emotional intelligence. The research is quantitative based on a survey questionnaire distributed to a sample of 100 business students with only 93 valid entries. Collected primary data were processed using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions SPSS version 24 and analyses were performed using descriptive as well as inferential methods. Research outcomes provide additional insights on the incremental effect of students’ engagement, academic achievement, over and above emotional intelligence and call for higher education institutions and policy makers to provide and/or adjust their academic and non-academic activities to reinforce a constructive and productive students’ experiences.
