It is only a very brief note on our study and we intend to get feed back from our group members during the discussion session tomorrow. We will fine-tune the proposal before we carry out the actual research.

2. • Good Afternoon to everybody. Our presentation
is only a proposal.
• It is only a very brief note on our study and we
intend to get feed back from our group members
during the discussion session tomorrow.
• We will fine tune the proposal before we carry
out the actual research.

3. The Purpose
• The purpose of this study is to investigate if
student Psychological Membership correlates
with their academic achievement.
• The idea of this proposed research is to find
intervention methods, if there happened to be a
correlation between these two variables.

4. Title
• Student Psychological Membership and
Educational Correlates: A comparative study of
two different institutions of higher learning in
MALAYSIA,

5. Key Words
• Psychological Membership: Student sense of
belonging in a school or university.
• Academic Achievement: In this respect this
study considers only the Cumulative Grade
point Average (CGPA) obtained by students in
their final year.

6. Research Questions
• Is there a correlation between student sense of
belonging and their academic achievement?
• What are the aspects or domains of their
psychological membership that perceived to
influence student academic grades?

7. Sample and Sampling
• The study will use about 50 students from a
Public university and another 50 students from
a private university in the Klang Valley,
Malaysia.
• The representation of the sample students will
be from the various levels such as:
• Undergraduate and postgraduate.

8. • As this study involves volunteer students from
two universities only, we, the authors will use
non-probability Sampling.
• This means, the outcome of the research will
provide some idea about the phenomenon for
future intensive research.

9. Method
• The study will use the administration of
Questionnaire adopted from:
• The questionnaire will use a FIVE(5) point
Likert Scale with degrees of agreement and
non agreement.

10. Analysis
• Adopted version of quantitative questionnaire
from previous studies will be used to test the
phenomenon in Malaysia.
• The data will be analysed via statistical
measures using SPSS.
• In the first part the study will use descriptive
and inferential statistics.

11. • In the second part, a correlation graph will be
drawn to see the strength of the correlation.
• On a further note aspects such as factor
loading and regression will be performed.
• The final part will provide a structural
Equation modelling to understand the
phenomenon in detail.

12. THANK YOU!
