TIME MANAGEMENT AS A FACTOR IN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF CADETS OF THE BARNAUL LAW INSTITUTE OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF RUSSIA

Abstract

The article presents the results of an empirical study examining the impact of time management skills on the academic performance of cadets at a departmental university. The objective of the study is to identify the specific relationships between personal time management metrics, grade point average, living conditions, and cadets’ daily routines, as well as factors that hinder a productive day. To obtain empirical data, testing using the “Personal Time Management” methodology, a questionnaire, and secondary data analysis were conducted. The study reveals that effective time management skills are an important (but not the only) factor in cadets’ academic performance. Time management proficiency is independent of the respondent’s gender but clearly varies depending on the cadet’s living conditions and their subjective attitude toward the daily routine at the institute. The presented results suggest that different combinations of these indicators provide variability in the interpretation of time management’s impact on the academic performance of cadets at a departmental university.
