| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| The reason for this scholarly paper is to study the differences between
subjective happiness, hope, and achievement motivation of remedial students
in terms of the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and locations. A total
number of five hundred remedial students participated in the study. The
majority of the respondents were Malays followed by other ethnics. The
study was conducted in Ipoh, Tanjung Malim, Shah Alam, and Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. The researchers used three instruments, namely, the
Children’s Hope Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Achievement Goal
Questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social
Sciences (SPSS), version 23. More specifically, One-Way ANOVA was used
to compare the remedial students’ subjective happiness, hope, and
achievement motivation in terms of their CGPA results and the locations
The results show that there was no statistically significant difference in
subjective happiness, hope, achievement motivation, and CGPA of remedial
students. Also, the results show a statistically significant difference in
subjective happiness, hope, achievement motivation, and location of
remedial students. Precisely, the result shows a statistically significant
difference in remedial students studying in Shah Alam compared to those
who were from Tanjung Malim and Ipoh. In conclusion, the finding of this
study suggests no statistically significant differences in subjective happiness,
hope, achievement motivation, and CGPA of remedial students while the
research proposed that the remedial students in Shah Alam were significantly
happier compared to Tanjung Malim and Ipoh. |
