Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a non-formal outdoor education and
learning framework that is mentioned frequently and widely in publications,
however, little or no literature have compared the impact of DofE completion to
students’ academic accomplishment. This study looks at the hours of
contribution in the DofE program and individual participants studying in
Fairview International School on a two-year time frame and its relationship
with their academic achievement on the exit exam. Spearman correlation
indicates the hours contributed by the students in the Service section of the
DofE could be correlated to their academic accomplishment in English and
Business Subjects. Clustering Analysis also indicates that students that
contribute similar hours in their DofE also tend to perform similarly in their
IGCSE results. Thus, we speculated that DofE could be good intermediary
training for the student’s executive functions, and the peer network created
pursuing the DofE process also allows them to gain useful social capital that
allows them to succeed academically
