Abstract

Academic buoyancy is the ability to deal with academic setbacks and challenges, which are typical of students daily life at school. We try to compare the academic buoyancy of science students with other students and try to find out the academic buoyancy of science students based on gender and also age at high school level. The research used mix method approach with concurrent embedded strategy. The sample of research involves 289 of science students from senior high school Class XI in Bandung City of Academic Year 2017/2018 by using stratifite random sampling. The findings of this study indicate that science students need to have higher academic buoyancy compared with other students, male science students have higher academic buoyancy than female science students, and the science students who have higher academic buoyancy are at the age of 18 years and 15 years . These results are presented in an implication analysis for academic outcomes.
