Santhanalakshmi, K.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a hypothesized structural model that reflects the
relationship between Attentiveness and Academic Achievement among Undergraduate Students. Attentive
students are more likely to achieve goals, whereas inattentive students tend to make careless
mistakes and achieve lower outcomes. Today's students are more oriented towards modern technologies,
where attention is often drawn to technical knowledge and entertainment. Students will be able to
focus on learning with enthusiasm if workshops and communication strategies are modernized. The
sample of the study consisted of 815 undergraduate students from an Arts and Science College in
Tiruvallur district. Survey method and stratified sampling were adopted for the study. An
Attentiveness Scale consisting of 23 items was developed by the researcher. The results showed that
attentiveness had the strongest relationship with academic achievement.
