Abstract
The transition period from pre-tertiary to higher education levels is critical. We explore the role of resilience by conducting a survey to investigate students’ resilience and the relationship with overall academic performance, learning experience, and well-being. This effort is part of an initiative to develop strategies for better student engagement in the academic program, enhance their resilience, and prepare them for a competitive job market. We conclude that (i) high-resilience students are associated with better life satisfaction and are likely to perform well academically, (ii) a favorable learning environment supports students to study and perform well in the university, and (iii) academic program experience can contribute to students’ resilience. Additionally, we demonstrate that a grade prediction model, developed using students’ historical performance, resilience strength, learning experiences, and well-being, can accurately forecast their overall academic performance, with an average prediction error as low as one letter grade difference from the actual grades.
