Abstract
The aim of this research is to identify:
- Academic decline among university students
2- Statistically significant differences in academic decline among university students according to the gender variable (male – female).
3- Statistically significant differences in academic decline among university students according to the specialization variable (scientific – humanities)
The researcher prepared an academic decline scale based on a scale developed by (Dongdong Yan 2022). The researcher translated and adapted it to the Iraqi environment, and established its validity and reliability through statistical analyses. The reliability coefficient was 0.82
Signs of academic decline among university students can be observed through various behavioral and academic indicators, most notably: a drop in their cumulative grade point average, frequent absences from lectures, failure to complete assignments and coursework, and weak participation in classes. This manifests a loss of motivation to learn, feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction with academic performance, and a tendency to avoid or withdraw from academic competition.
