ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic resilience and academic performance of college students. Through a survey of students from the College of Medical Technology at Anhui Medical College, using a mixed research method involving quantitative and qualitative analysis, it was found that students exhibited high academic resilience in perseverance and reflective/adaptive help-seeking, but moderate in negative affect and emotional response. In terms of academic performance, most students performed well. The study indicated a significant positive correlation between academic resilience and academic performance. Gender had no significant impact on either academic resilience or performance. Age was significantly related to academic performance, and the program of study only significantly affected academic resilience in terms of negative affect and emotional response. Students faced challenges in areas such as emotional management, support systems, ability to cope with failure, self-efficacy, learning strategies, course difficulty, test anxiety, and time management. In response to these issues, an action plan was proposed, including psychological counseling, strategy training, resource utilization, and course support, to enhance students’ academic resilience and performance.
