SELF-DISCIPLINE AS A PREDICTOR OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN AUTONOMOUS LEARNING
Keywords:
self-discipline, responsibility, academic performance, behavior, resilience.Abstract
Self-discipline is widely recognized as a critical factor in academic success, particularly in autonomous learning contexts where students are responsible for managing their own learning processes. This study investigates the relationship between self-discipline and academic performance among university students engaged in autonomous learning. The findings indicate that higher levels of self-discipline are strongly correlated with better academic outcomes, suggesting that interventions aimed at enhancing self-regulatory skills can significantly improve student performance.
