Download or read book Three Case Studies of Gifted Students who Underachieve in High School written by Barbara Jean Moore and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Academic underachievement in gifted students is a serious problem that has perplexed educators and researchers for more than five decades. A large body of quantitative research studying personality and environmental factors related to underachievement has isolated certain variables, such as lack of effort, socioeconomic status, learning style, and peer pressure, that may be concomitants of underachievement. Few studies, however, have used qualitative methodology to understand how gifted underachievers or their parents perceive this problem. This research study used a qualitative, case study approach to the problem of academic underachievement in three gifted high school students from White, suburban, middle income families. The students, two male and one female, and their parents were interviewed and the students were observed in their classes to understand the way students and their parents describe and try to deal with academic underachievement, and to explore how personal, family, and environmental factors relate to academic underachievement Findings indicated similarities in the chronology of events related to the academic underachievement of the three students. First, from early childhood, students' home environments were characterized by communication problems and parenting practices that were inconsistent and lacked balance. Second, during early adolescence, a move to a new school created a break in close friendships, increasing the child's feeling of stress and isolation. Third, an un-stimulating high school environment prevented the child from forming a strong sense of identity in school. Finally, the child's lower report card grades focused the parents' attention on the underachieving child, reinforcing the underachievement. These findings can help us better understand how combinations of factors in the home school, and peer environments contribute to academic underachievement in gifted students"--Leaf [iv].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, educators, counselors, and parents have debated whether underachievers can outgrow this behavior and perform up to their abilities as adults. What happens educationally, occupationally, and maritally to underachievers after they leave high school? In the largest sample of underachievers and the first long-term (13-year) study ever conducted, the authors explore whether underachievers "catch up" after high school to the level of their abilities, the traits of those who do, and the traits of those who don't. Through an analysis of the 13-year longitudinal study, they compare underachievers with students who receive the same grades and students who have tested at the same ability level but who have performed better in school. Covering such issues as personality variables, learning strategies, self-esteem, classroom structure, the educational system, and parental styles, the authors sift through the data to discover what factors are associated with underachievement and what techniques have worked to help these students improve their performance.
Download or read book Doing Poorly on Purpose written by James R. Delisle and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Doing Poorly on Purpose, veteran educator James R. Delisle dispels the negative associations and stereotypes connected to underachievement. By focusing on smart kids who get poor grades—not because they’re unable to do better in school but because they don’t want to—Delisle presents a snapshot of underachievement that may look far different from what you envision it to be. There is no such thing as a “classic underachiever.” Students (and their reasons for underachieving) are influenced by a wide range of factors, including self-image, self-concept, social-emotional relationships, and the amount of dignity teachers afford their students. Helping “smart” students achieve when they don’t want to is not an easy task, but you can reengage and inspire students using Delisle’s insights and practical advice on these topics: * Autonomy * Access * Advocacy * Alternatives * Aspirations * Approachable Educators Smart, underachieving students need the reassurance that they are capable, valuable, and worth listening to despite their low academic performance. If these students—who are otherwise academically capable—don’t feel they are getting respect from those in charge of their learning, then the desire to conform and achieve is minimized. In a word, they want dignity. Don’t we all?
