Abstract

The research design used was quantitative, descriptive and correlational research. Using simple random sampling, there was a total of 78 third year students and all participated and answered the questionnaire forms disseminated by the researchers. The researchers used the 12 item grit scale by Angela Duckworth to measure the grit level of each student then used linear regression to analyze the relationship between grit and academic status. Results demonstrated a regression coefficient of 1,268, indicating that one-unit increase in grit would result in a 1.27-unit increase in student's GWA. Furthermore, ANOVA showed that a student's grit did not have a significant impact on academic status. The association of grit and the variables tested in this study were not found to be significant, however, this study could serve as a preliminary investigation on the potentials of grit in influencing the academic performance and status of the pharmacy students.
