Abstract

ABSTRACT

         The objective of this research were to study 1) time management and stress and 2) the relationship among time management, stress and learning achievement of public university students in Bangkok. A questionnaire was employed to gather data from 400 students, selected by multi-stage random sampling. Data were analyzed to acquire percentage, mean, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that more than two thirds of the students were female with average age of 20.39 years, science major. Almost one third of the students were the second-year student. Grade point average of the students was 3.03. Almost half of the students lived with their parents. The distances of their residences to the university were 11.03 kilometers.

         The students practice time management 3-4 times a week. They frequently performed setting goal and evaluation 5-6 times a week. They practice time using analysis, planning and implementing 3-4 times a week. Students’ stress was found that two thirds of the students were at normal level and slightly high than normal level. The relationship among time management, learning achievement and stress showed that 1) time management was correlated to learning achievement 2) time management: setting goal and evaluation was very low negatively correlated to stress and 3) stress was not statistically correlated to learning achievement.
