Abstract

This research was carried out to study the relationship of academic performance between high school and undergraduate degree courses of elementary education students in Farhangian University. The research method was descriptive correlational. Although a total number of data was used in data collection, due to the incomplete nature of the documents, 272 cases were investigated. The instruments were a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the students’ averages in high school and undergraduate courses. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis and independent t-test were used. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between the third grade high school performance and undergraduate graduate level (P <0.001); regression analysis indicated that 37% of the observed variance in academic performance status was explained by the degree of diploma (F = 154.88, 001 /
0> P); there was a significant difference between the performance of the male and female students (P <0.001), so that girls in high school and undergraduate students had higher educational performance than boys. The results of this study, on the one hand, can be effective in developing managers' awareness for future plans and, on the other hand, to improve the academic performance of students.
