Factors affecting academic achievement of undergraduate students during Covid-19 pandemic

Student success is seen as a crucial indicator of superior academic performance. Academic success is a result of an individual's efforts and perseverance toward the mastery of the knowledge or skills he learns based on the points he achieves. Academic success is something that is reached at the level of progress. Academic achievements that are not encouraging become the fruit of the mouth of leaders, academic figures and the community because this symptom contributes to the unemployment rate in Malaysia. This research aims to investigate the elements influencing undergraduate students' academic performance during the Covid-19 pandemic. It focuses on students of University Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) Kota campus, Pengkalan Chepa. This study will be focused on students in the Faculty of Entrepreneurship and Business (FKP) program where it is in line with the objectives of this study. Several statistical techniques were used in this study to analyze the data and data collected by randomly distributing questionnaires to 401 undergraduate students at UMK Kota campus through an online survey. In the questionnaire, students were asked about their opinions on teaching methods, motivation, student attitudes, perceived social support and financial stability in relation to the academic achievement of undergraduate students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The questions in part A are age, race, ethnicity, gender, program, year of study, marital status, grades and parental status. The questions in Section B to Section E are related to independent variables that affect the academic achievement of undergraduate students during the pandemic. The results of this study show that all hypotheses have been supported. Teaching methods and motivation were found to have a positive relationship with the academic achievement of undergraduate students during the pandemic. This study also revealed that financial stability tends to be more or less attractive to the academic achievement of undergraduate students during the pandemic
