摘要：This research examines the effects of students' time use in academically related activities and paid employment on their educational attainment. A theoretical model containing fourteen background, social psychological, time use, and edu- cational attainment variables was formulated. The data were obtained from questionnaires administered to 308 undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education at a Western Canadian University. A stratified random cluster sam- pling procedure was used to select classes of students. Structural equation mod- elling is used to test the relationships among the variables. Results indicate that when other variables are taken into account, the time students spend in academi- cally related activities and paid employment has little effect on their educational achievement and their educational expectations.
