Abstract

Grit, defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, has emerged as a significant predictor of success across various domains. This study aimed to explore the intricate relationships between students learning styles, their academic performance, and their grit levels. The research seeks to determine whether learning styles significantly influence grit and if there is a correlation between academic performance and grit among students. The study involved 30 participants selected through a voluntary response method, ensuring genuine interest and availability. The sample included 5 learners from the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strand, 5 from the General Academic Strand (GAS), 9 from the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strand, and 11 from the Caregiving strand. A structured questionnaire was administered in a designated classroom within the school premises. The collected responses were meticulously encoded into an Excel file for organization and analysis. Various statistical tools were employed to ensure robust and reliable findings. The analysis revealed that learning style does not significantly influence the grit level of learners. This suggests that the preferred learning methods of students do not impact their perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Additionally, the study found no significant correlation between academic performance and grit level, indicating that a students academic success is not necessarily tied to their level of grit. These findings challenge the common assumption that grit is a key determinant of academic achievement. The results suggest that other factors may play a more critical role in influencing academic success. This study contributes valuable insights to the field of educational psychology, emphasizing the need for a broader perspective when considering the influences on student performance. The study recommends diversifying teaching methods, focusing on holistic development, providing personalized support, encouraging extracurricular activities, offering professional development for educators, and promoting continuous research and improvement in educational practices.
