Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between time management and students’ learning outcomes at Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised all students across the university’s four colleges, totalling 17,633. A sample of 400 students was selected using stratified sampling, and 397 valid, correctly completed questionnaires were analysed. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire titled Time Management and Students’ Learning Outcomes (TMSLO), comprising sections on demographic information, time management practices, impact, challenges, and improvement strategies. Descriptive statistics, including frequency counts, percentages, and mean scores, were employed to analyse the data. Findings revealed that students moderately adopt time management practices, with high adherence to breaking tasks into smaller units and prioritising academic tasks, but inconsistent adherence to fixed study schedules. It was also found that effective time management positively impacts students’ learning outcomes, including improved grades, timely assignment submissions, and increased confidence. The study concludes that effective time management is a significant determinant of academic success and that structured interventions are essential to enhance students’ skills.
