Academic buoyancy of university students and its relationship to academic average in light of some demographic variables

Academic buoyancy reflects the student's ability to encounter the ordinary challenges he faces in the academic context, and it positively contributes to the student's behaviors. This study aims to measure the level of academic buoyancy among university students, identify its relationship to their academic average, and determine the differences in their academic buoyancy level in terms of gender and academic discipline variables. The descriptive-analytical research design was utilized. The academic buoyancy scale was applied to (243) university students (male-female). Data were statistically analyzed using correlation coefficient, arithmetic mean, and two-way ANOVA. Results demonstrated that students have a high level of academic buoyancy, there was a significant correlative relationship between academic buoyancy and academic average, and there were no significant differences in the academic buoyancy level due to gender (male-female), academic discipline (theoretical-practical). The research recommended increasing students' academic buoyancy level to help them encounter academic pressures and challenges and to solve the problems they face in their academic lives effectively.
