Download or read book The Predictive Value of Self regulation to Predict the Underachievement of Gifted Preadolescent Students written by Brittney Brown and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between self-regulation and achievement has been identified. The literature suggests, students with high levels of self-regulation have higher academic achievement. However, less is known about gifted students' self-regulation, although it is widely accepted that underachievement is an issue facing the gifted school-aged population (National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), 2000). Underachievement is a problem and self-regulation and underachievement are related (Stoeger & Ziegler, 2005). Self-regulation studies have been inconsistent in that higher levels of self-regulation and lower levels of self-regulation among gifted students have been reported (Stoeger & Ziegler, 2005). A number of studies have examined self-regulation in the gifted adolescent population few have examined the preadolescent population. Most studies compare levels of self-regulation in gifted students to their non-gifted counterparts. In an attempt to broaden the research on self-regulation in gifted students, this study investigated underachievement in preadolescent gifted students receiving special education services in public schools while regarding potential predictor variables gender and self-regulation. Survey data were collected from 114 gifted students in Grades 4 to 6 and their teachers in two different school districts. The study used the School Attitude Assessment Revised (SAAS-R) (McCoach & Seigle, 2003) and the Comprehensive Executive Functioning Inventory (CEFI) (Naglieri & Goldstein, 2013). The SAAS-R measures students' attitudes toward school/teachers, goal valuation, motivation/self-regulation, and general academic self-perceptions. The CEFI measures the level of executive functioning across nine subscales: attention, emotional regulation, flexibility, inhibitory control, initiation, organization, planning, self-monitoring, and working memory. No significant differences were found between race and gender on the dependent variable of self-regulation indicating the effects of self-regulation are dissimilar based on race and gender. The regression models yielded significant results on the predictors reading and math achievement. Reading and math achievement significantly predicted self-regulation. There was not a significant difference on reported levels of self-regulation based on grade level. Implications from this study suggest that practitioners should consider the impact of self-regulation on achievement and implement strategies to enhance self-regulation in the classroom. Additionally, gender, grade level, and racial difference in achievement and self-regulation should be acknowledged and factors to remediate them should be implemented.
Download or read book Gifted Learners and Mathematical Achievement An Analysis of Gifted Instructional Models written by Lezley Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to examine whether differences exist in the mathematics achievement of fifth grade gifted students based on the instructional delivery model used for mathematics instruction, cluster or collaborative, as defined by the Georgia Department of Education. The content area of mathematics, an area susceptible to underachievement among gifted learners, was investigated using archival data from a sample of 67 participants from rural Southwest Georgia over three academic years. The STAR Math assessment and the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT): Math assessments were used to measure overall mathematics achievement. The subscales on the CRCT were used to measure mathematical proficiency in numbers and operations, measurement, geometry, algebra, and data analysis. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used on the data from the STAR Math assessment to analyze mathematics achievement. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used on the scale score data from the CRCT to analyze overall mathematics achievement. Results from the ANOVA on the STAR Math assessment data revealed no significant difference between comparison groups. Results from MANOVA on the CRCT revealed a significant main effect difference on overall mathematics achievement between comparison groups. The posthoc pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences on the subscales of geometry and algebra. No significant differences were found on the subscales of numbers and operations, measurement, and data analysis and probability. Suggestions for further experimental research are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Other Three R’s model began as an American Psychological Association (APA) initiative, sponsored by Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Psychology and Education at Yale University and Past President of the APA. For both this initiative and this edited volume, Sternberg assembled a diverse team of experts who identified reasoning, resilience and responsibility as three learnable skills that, when taken together, have great potential for increasing academic success. The authors of this volume present in detail their evidence-based arguments for promoting TOTRs in schools as a way to optimize student success.

Download or read book Analysing Underachievement in Schools written by Emma Smith and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-06-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underachievement in school is one of the most widely used terms in education today. As a discourse it has been responsible for influencing government policy, staffroom discussions, as well as the pages of academic journals and the TES. It is also a subject which raises questions about what we expect from a fair and equitable education system. This book provides a critical analysis of two sides of the underachievement debate, at each of the three levels of focus - international, the UK and the individual. On the one hand, it will consider the 'crisis' account; of falling standards and failing pupils and, on the other, present an alternative account, which urges a re-evaluation of the underachievement debate in order to consider who might be underachieving and why.
