The Relationship Between Resource Management Learning Strategies and Academic Achievement

Learning strategies are methods that students can use to guide their learning and thinking processes.
This study aimed to explore the relationship between resource management learning strategies and academic achievement in college students.
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 300 students in western Iran. Random sampling was used to select participants, and a self-reporting questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed with SPSS-21 software using t-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and linear regression at 95% significance level.
The mean age of respondents was 21.08 years [SD: 1.93], ranging from 18 to 29 years. We found significant correlation between mean overall score for learning resource management strategies and academic achievement of the students (r = 0.139 and P = 0.024). Linear regression analysis showed that resource management strategies accounted for 3% of the variation in academic achievement.
Based on our results, designing and implementing educational programs to promote resource management strategies for college students could have beneficial results in increasing academic achievement.
