Review of Related Literature:


The attitudes of students are important to be understood toward in their school and learning, learning can be affected by
different factors (Candeias, Rebelo, and Oliveira, 2008). Honour students are more likely to perform and participate in
non academic activities than non-honour students (Wolfensberger, 2004). The attitudes of students toward school and
learning is dependent on their school, school level, age, and parents (Candeias, Rebelo, Oliveira, and Mendes, 2010).
Students who are low in their self-esteem but higher interdependent level with others are students who think with positive
attitudes toward psychological help (Yeh, 2002). The attitudes of students are related to their academic scores for instance
with directly affect their academic performance (Janssen, 2014). Students who hold neutral and positive ones are less
verbal than the students who hold negative attitudes, because their attitudes can affect the achievement in academic
performances (Schau, 2005). It is good for the students to develop their positive mental attitude while they are still in the
early years of college for them to be ready to broaden their responsibility and maturity and to be more confident and
independent (Laguador, 2013). The attitudes of the students towards learning in mathematics can improve the student's
achievement (Khun-Inkeeree, Omar-Fauzee, and Othman, 2016). The attitudes of the students have a strong impact in
their learning toward in academic performances (Cahill, McDaniel, Frey, Hynes, Recipe, Zhao, and Trousil, 2018).
Academic achievement is predicted by attitude in learning (Veresova and Mala, 2016).
The cognitive variables of teachers are the most important than any other, because it can predict the academic
performance of the students through their questions it can help the students to think critically (Fehintola, 2014).
Perseverance is one the attitudes that considered a strength of courage that reflects to the academic performances of a
students (Littman-Ovadia and Lavy, 2015). Motivation, tenacity, trustworthiness, and perseverance are some of the
attitudes that can lead the students to success (Heckman and Rubinstein, 2001). Character has an effect in grades and in
interpersonal characteristics (Kern and Bowling III, ). Time management is one of the attitudes that is proven variable of
success (Renzulli, 2015). Even though effort is related to the attitude of students, it is still fails to be an important in
predicting the academic achievement of the students (Li, 2012). Avoidance to trouble is associated to high academic
scores (Bowen, Hopson, Rose, and Glennie, 2012). Those students who care likely to gain understanding are the students
who talk informally to the faculty members (Komarraju, Musulkin, Bhattacharya, 2010). Motivated or less motivated
students can still gain high grade point average (Janssen and O'Brien, 2014). The students who are high achievers are the
students who have positive study attitude (Sarwar, Bashir, and Alam, 2010).
The academic success depends only in cognitive aspect as well as the emotional abilities (Nasir and Masrur, 2010).
Teachers who are passionate can influence the performance of the students (Mart, 2013). The relationship of the students
toward in their peers, families, and teachers can affect their achievement on their academic performances (Murray-
Harvey, 2010). The instructor's positive reinforcement can affect their attitudes towards their study habits (Rhoads and
deHaan, 2013). The students who decide responsibly achieves more (Greenberg, Weissberg, O'Brien, Zins, Fredericks,
Resnik, and Elias, 2003). Students expect for their future as manifested in their positively increased views (Twenge and
Campbell, 2008). Health conscious students adapt using strategies which lessen stress (Hamaideh, 2011). Environmental
forces conflict with freedom and self-determination (Lefcourt, 2014). The positive and negative feedback of the
participants can affect the evaluations of the students towards in their academic performances (Guenther and Alicke,
2007). Students who are actively and positively thinking are less lonely students which may directly correlation with
students performances (Wang, Chen, Chen, Li, Harari, Tignor, Zhou, Ben-Zeev, and Campbell, 2014).
Therefore, students with positive attitude toward learning will succeed in achieving student’s good performance in
personal development.
