非洲工科学生目前在许多高等教育机构学习成绩不佳，导致地方政府的财政补贴较低。导致学业成就率低的因素之一可能是这些学生糟糕的时间管理技能。本文采用理论文献综述和实证研究相结合的方法对这一关系进行了探讨。在这方面进行了许多研究，但结果喜忧参半。本文的案例研究涉及一个名为设计项目III的设计模块，其中的实证研究纳入了一项事后研究，涉及使用描述性统计的实验前/探索性设计。这项研究的结果被应用于各种测试，结果表明，非洲工科学生的时间管理技能与学业成就之间没有统计上的显著关系。
Poor academic success by African engineering students is currently experienced in many higher educational institutions, contributing to lower financial subsidies by local governments. One of the contributing factors to this low academic success may be the poor time management skills of these students. This article endeavours to explore this relationship by means of a theoretical literature review and an empirical study. Numerous studies have been conducted in this regard, but with mixed results. The case study of this article involves a design module termed Design Projects III, where the empirical study incorporated an ex post facto study involving a pre-experimental/exploratory design using descriptive statistics. The results of this study were applied to various tests, which indicated no statistically significant relationship between time management skills and the academic achievement of African engineering students.
