dc.description.abstractAcademic burnout has become one of the most common problems in institutions of learning. It negatively affects students’ wellbeing, creativity and effectiveness in educational settings. This study was therefore designed to establish the extent to which academic resilience predicts academic burnout among form four students in Homa-Bay County, Kenya. The study was guided by conservation of resource theory. A correlational research design was adopted. A sample of 714 was selected from thirty one public secondary schools. Data collection was through questionnaires adapted from Resilience Scale (RS14) and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS). Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Data was analyzed using both Pearson Correlation Moment Coefficient and hierarchical regression techniques. Results revealed a negative statistical correlation between academic resilience and academic burnout (r (712) = -.24, p <. 05) and academic burnout was negatively and significantly predicted by academic resilience (β = -.21, p < .05). These findings have implications for teachers and school administrators in enhancing and enforcing programs that train students on resilience skills.en_US
