| Summary: | The issues of healthy lifestyles can contribute to academic achievement among students have been debated for over years. Hence, this research aims to determine the influence of healthy lifestyle predictors towards academic achievement among 13 to 14-year-old students in Terengganu either in rural or urban areas. In addition, the purpose of this research is to determine the construct validity evidence for the Malay version of healthy lifestyle questionnaires among 13 and 14-year-old students in Terengganu. In this research, data was collected through an online survey where the questionnaire was distributed among 300 secondary school students in rural and urban area located in Hulu Terengganu and Dungun respectively. The measurement tool for this research has been translated and adapted from the original instrument to ensure compatibility and suitability according to the respondents' background, lifestyles and cultural. The healthy lifestyle component was measured from the self – administrative questionnaire constructed for this research as the result scores from Pentaksiran Setara Standard (PSS) of students in Form 1 and Form 2 have been measured as the indicator of academic achievement throughout this research. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed to provide construct validity evidence for this questionnaire. In this research, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to evaluate the factor structure of the scale. Fitness indexes such as RMSEA= .064, CFI= .934, TLI= .921 and IFI= .935 proved that sample data fits the measurement model for this research. Last but not least, multiple regression analysis represented those three predictors of healthy lifestyle which are free from substance abuse, social support and stress management contribute towards academic achievement among students from age 13- to 14-year-old in Terengganu. In a nutshell, findings of this research can help to identify a new appropriate predictor which also can contribute to the development of academic achievement among school students in future study. |
