Data collection and analysis procedure
The data were collected from five different business clusters during the semester
course advising period. A questionnaire served as a data-gathering
instrument. Most of the instruments used to measure the variables of the
study have been derived from the existing literature. Data obtained from
the survey have been analyzed using some basic statistical tools. A five point
Likert scale (1 = major reason and 5 = minor reason) was used while measuring
the attitude towards ‘reason for falling into academic probation.’
The data were summarized, tabulated and analyzed to maintain the objectives
of the study.
