| Abstrak/Abstract |
To seek evidence of the correlation between college adjustment (CA), academic engagement (AE), help-seeking behaviour (HSB) and students’ academic well-being (AW), quantitative research was conducted at STIE Triatma Mulya Stenden, Bali, Indonesia, involving 235 grand tour students from NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences of Dutch and German nationalities who took minors for ten weeks. Analysis with Structural Equation Model shows that the model provided acceptable fit with CFI (0.992 > 0.9) and RMSEA (0.031 < 0.06). All parameter estimates were at 0.05 significant level (z > 2.58). With the note “minimum was achieved” and the value of df 14 (positive two digit numbers) the
chi-square value is acceptable. Detailed findings are 1) with the regression coefficient value (?) = 0.286, p-value = 0.001 and cr-value of less than 3.321, CA has a significant effect on AE; 2) with
? = -0.436, p = 0.031 and cr < -2.152, AE has a significant effect on HSB; 3) with ? = 0.205, p = 0.125 and cr < -1.533, CA has no significant effect on HSB; 4) with ? = 0.020, p = 0.728 and cr < 3.372, HSB does not have a significant effect on AW; 5) with ? = 0.379, p = *** and cr < 3.372, AE has a significant effect on AW; 6) with ? = 0.508, p = 0.001 and CR < 5879, CA has a significant effect on AW. To conclude, students’ short stay, international education standard, the locals’ hospitality and English language competency enable students to adapt and become academically engaged. If issues persist, they are mostly related to their inability to resist invitations to socialize during school days. Regrettably, the short stay discourages the students from seeking help when facing problems. |
