Abstract

The present study is based on the desire to investigate the possible relationship between the level of adaptation of the students to the university environment and the registration of academic performance. The working hypothesis is, if the level of adaptation to the university environment is high then the level of performance increases. Operationally, the concept of adaptation integrates the following dimensions: motivation, application, performance, satisfaction, academic environment. For the present research, the authors consider only the first subscale of Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, respectively the academic adaptation, reflected, in turn, in the following indicators: motivation, application, performance, academic environment. The correlation of the data—for the above-mentioned subscales—will generate a qualitative analysis of the degree of satisfaction of students and how it is reflected in academic achievement. The obtained results will allow building strategies to streamline the approach of academic integration with effects on increasing performance.
