This study examined the impact of academic resilience and English-medium instruction
on chemistry achievement, providing empirical evidence to support performanceenhancing
strategies. This study utilised a survey methodology, drawing on a stratified
random sample of 403 students for a broader representation of the population. Two
assessment tools: the Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), developed by Cassidy
and a self-made objective-style questionnaire were administered. On data analysis,
Pearson’s coefficient analysis yielded a moderate association between academic
resilience and student achievement in chemistry. The obtained t-value of -10.717 with
its corresponding p-value of <0.001 indicated that the medium of instruction, with a
high effect size (d=0.83, ç 2 = 0.146), was a significant predictor for achievement in
chemistry. Thus, the study suggested educators and policymakers focus on academic
resilience and the medium of instruction

  1. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at macrolush reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
