Relationship between Students' Cognitive Abilities and Cumulative Grade Point Average at University Level
The better the cognitive abilities of undergraduate students, the better their academic performance. To identify the relationship between students’ cognitive abilities and CGPA of B.S. and B.Ed (Hons.) students. The two universities, a public university (i.e., University of Punjab, Lahore) and a private sector university (i.e., University of Management and Technology) of the undergraduate students. The simple, purposive and disproportionate stratified random sampling techniques were applied and to take the 300 samples. In instrumentation, three different achievement tests were self-developed for three required subjects consisting i.e. Objective type questions (MCQs) tests of three subjects i.e. English, Psychology and Education. The three concerned departments and six specialists validate the test. The reliability checks through Cronbach’s alpha and item analysis. The Pearson correlation, T-test, one-way and two-way ANOVA were applied for analysis. The finding, there was no significant correlation between the two universities.
