Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze factors contributing to the delay in the study period of students enrolled in the Mathematics Program at the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FST), Nusa Cendana University (UNDANA). The research employed a comprehensive analytical approach, starting with validity and reliability tests, followed by descriptive analysis, and culminating in factor analysis. Initially, 27 variables were considered; however, after conducting validity and reliability assessments, 18 variables were deemed suitable for further analysis. These 18 variables were subjected to factor analysis, revealing that they could be consolidated into four distinct factors, collectively accounting for 68.734% of the total variability observed among the students. The four identified factors influencing study delays are (1) student and supervisor commitment to completing the final project, (2) campus and peer support, (3) intelligence and discipline, and (4) motivation and relationships. Among these, the commitment of students and their supervisors to the timely completion of the final project emerged as the most dominant factor, demonstrating 43.417% of the total variance. The findings highlight the crucial role of both individual dedication and external support systems in ensuring timely academic progress, offering valuable insights for improving student outcomes in the Mathematics Program at UNDANA.
