摘要：The purpose of this present research is examining the correlations between university students' time management skills and their academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels. In addition, the present research tests whether there are significant differences between university students' time management skills and academic life satisfaction levels in terms of age groups, gender, departments and classes. 308 female and 242 male; a total of 550 students who were selected randomly among students who study at various departments of Mugla Kocman University School of Physical Education and Sports and Faculty of Education, in Turkey, participated in the research.

In the present research, pearson correlation analysis was used in order to determine the correlations between students' time management skills, academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels; and t test was used in groups of two, and anova tests were used in groups of more than two in order to test whether there are significant differences in the students' time management levels, academic life satisfaction levels and academic achievement levels in terms of age groups, gender, departments and classes. Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test was used to detect the source of the difference in the groups of more than two. According to the findings of the present research, there is a positive correlation at 0.01 significance level between university students' time management skills, academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels. Besides, no significance difference was detected between students' time management skills across genders (p>0.05); and there is a significance difference between students' academic life satisfaction levels across genders (p<0.05).
