Neuro cognitive tracking and corrective action: a way forward in academic performance / Norlaila Abdullah, Suria Fadhillah Md Pauzi and Faizah Azam Ahmad

The problem of a high performance gap among accounting students in the Faculty of Accountancy of the Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang does exist. The findings indicated that 64% of diploma and 75% bachelor students have a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of below 3.00 (the equivalent grade of B...

The results indicated that the number of students having GPA of below 3.00 was reduced to 34% and 35% for diploma and bachelor students respectively due to improved cognitive skills. Improvements in cognitive skills for diploma students were knowledge (68%), comprehension (71%), and application (68%) or an average performance gap of 31%, while the bachelor students’ cognitive levels were comprehension (74%), application (70%) and analysis (69%), with an average of 29% as compared to the earlier non-NCTCA phase. This study concludes that when student cognitive skill acquisitions are high, this could result in better GPAs and ultimately decreases the performance gap.
