Abstract

Student class turnout and student accomplishment has been a contemporary study by various researchers in higher institutions of learning. Such studies were carried out in different countries. This study was carried out to assess the gender difference, specialty and the language group of students in a database practical module, in respect to turnout and accomplishment for 2nd year students in the faculty of Business Administration and Economics at “St. Kliment Ohridski” University of Sofia, Bulgaria. A total of 190 students where taught the database practical module for a period of 7 academic years in 2 semesters per academic year. The e-Attendance system developed by the lecturer was the main tool used for data collection. The methodology used to analyze the data was the Pearson product moment correlation. Five hypothesis were raised for the study and tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. This study found out that there is a strong, positive correlative relationship between student turnout and student accomplishment.
