Success in the First Year: Definition, Meaning, and Contributing factors

I am investigating the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic success — as defined by the student — across disciplines.

SCAAS – Student-Centred Academic Achievement Survey (O’Neil, 2019)

• Part 1 asks participants to reflect on their own success as a student an provide a written account of what academic achievement is to them. They then report on the most meaningful indices of their academic achievement from a list provided in the survey, ranking them according to their own values and goals.
• Part 2 prompts students for one written goal for their academic semester, as well as a target course grade and GPA
• Part 3 is only administered after a period of time has passed from the completion of Parts 1 and 2. This final portion of the survey prompts students to report their actual (or expected) course grade, GPA, progress toward each academic outcome provided on the list, and a brief written description of their achievement for the semester
