Abstract
The transition to college is one of the significant life adjustments. Students are expected to adapt to this new environment. However, difficulties in school adaptation may result in social, emotional, and learning instability. This quantitative descriptive survey research determined the skills proficiency, psychological well-being and coping strategies of the University of Nueva Caceres first-year college students for the school year 2021– 2022. The study participants consisted of 429 first-year students of the University of Nueva Caceres. The Skills Profiler Test, Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB), and Brief-COPE Inventory were used to measure the variables. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the first-year college students of UNC have a skills gap in math, reasoning, and vocabulary. They reflect positive well-being that may help them pursue college life and obstacles that may come their way. The results further suggest that there is a need for the university to come up with programs or interventions that will develop the first-year students' critical thinking skills to succeed in mathematics and life.
进入大学是人生的重大调整之一。学生们要适应这个新环境。然而,学校适应困难可能导致社会、情感和学习不稳定。本定量描述性调查研究确定了新卡塞雷斯大学2021 - 2022学年一年级大学生的技能熟练程度、心理健康状况和应对策略。该研究的参与者包括新卡塞雷斯大学的429名一年级学生。采用技能剖析测验、瑞夫心理健康量表(SPWB)和Brief-COPE量表对各变量进行测量。采用SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences)软件对数据进行分析。结果表明,北卡罗来纳大学一年级学生在数学、推理和词汇方面存在技能差距。他们反映了积极的幸福感,这可能有助于他们追求大学生活,也可能会遇到障碍。研究结果进一步表明,大学有必要提出一些项目或干预措施,以培养一年级学生的批判性思维技能,从而在数学和生活中取得成功。
