THE INVESTIGATION OF STUDENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS AND THEIR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FROM DIFFERENT LEVELS AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
Classroom presentations are commonly used in university learning, but how students’ participation in these activities affects their academic achievement is still not clearly understood. This study was inspired by observations and informal discussions showing that students often do presentations, yet their participation varies and may not always be linked to better GPA. This quantitative study investigates the relationship between students’ participation in classroom presentations and their academic achievement among English Education students at Sriwijaya University. A total of 165 students from the 2nd, 4th, and 6th semesters participated by completing a questionnaire that measured five aspects of presentation participation—Contribution, Interaction, Preparation, Confidence, and Willingness—and self-reporting their GPA. The findings revealed a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between overall classroom presentation participation and GPA (r = 0.174, p = 0.025). Descriptive analysis showed that participation levels tended to increase with academic progression, with higher-semester students demonstrating greater engagement. Among the five aspects examined, only Contribution and Confidence were found to be significantly correlated with GPA (r = 0.188, p < 0.05). Further analysis indicated that these two aspects together accounted for a small portion of the variance in students’ academic performance (R² = 0.038). These findings highlight the importance of students’ meaningful contribution and confidence in supporting academic success during classroom presentations. Keywords: classroom participation, presentation, GPA, contribution, confidence.
