Abstract

The study investigated the impact of entry behaviour on academic performance among first-year ICT students at Kibi Technical Institute, while also exploring learner motivation and self-regulation as predictive factors. The study, rooted in motivation and self-regulation theory, utilized a positivist approach and an explanatory design. Data, gathered from 100 first-year ICT students using a structured questionnaire and academic records, were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26. Results showed that self-regulation significantly predicted academic performance, whereas entry behaviour and learner motivation had insignificant effects. It recommends integrating self-regulation training programs into the curriculum to empower students with effective learning strategies and management techniques
