Download or read book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

Download or read book An Analysis of International Students Adjustment and Academic Success in a Predominantly Black and a Predominantly White Urban University written by Akbar Zarghouni and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of international students attending a predominantly black urban university and a predominantly white urban university toward the adjustment problems that they experience in their universities. Also, the study was designed to determine the significant differences between the academic success of international students attending a predominantly black urban university and of those attending a predominantly white urban university. The population consisted of 3,079 international students enrolled at Texas Southern University and The University of Houston during the summer session of 1986. A sample size of 621 students was randomly selected from the population of international students. From the problems stated, eight null hypotheses were stated and tested. To analyze the data, the researcher utilized the t-test to determine whether there was a significant difference between the mean academic success (GPA) of international students attending a predominantly black urban university and of those attending a predominantly white urban university. The.05 level of significance was preestablished as a criterion of statistical significance. The findings of study were: There was no significant difference between the academic success of international students attending Texas Southern University and of those attending the University of Houston as affected by sex or age. However, there was a significant difference between the academic success of graduate subjects attending Texas Southern and of those attending The University of Houston with regard to their academic status. Five recommendations were made for future studies: Future studies should be conducted on similar groups of students to obtain future evidence of the effects of various variables on academic success (GPA). Further studies should be conducted to ascertain the influence of the academic environment on the academic success of international students. Future studies should be conducted in rural institutions of higher learning with fairly large enrollment of international students. There should be continuing studies regarding international students' adjustment problems and the most effective ways for university authorities to deal with them. Further studies should be conducted to deal with the problems of international students in making friends and socially interacting with members of their University.

Download or read book Homework and Academic Achievement written by Maria Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homework has historically played a role in schools, with a specific aim to increase academic performance. However, the debates surrounding this topic are numerous, leaving educators to question the merit of homework and if it really is the best method for improving academic gains outside of the classroom. This study aimed to examine the impact of homework on academic success through a meta-analysis of current research, specifically conducted within the United States. Effect size was used to measure the impact of homework on student learning. Results from this study indicated that homework has a small effect on increasing academic achievement. Results from this study also exposed the limited availability of experimental research that studies the direct impact of homework on academic achievement. This impacted the researcher's ability to adequately calculate effect size comparisons for homework characteristics. This is problematic, as homework is often used as a strategy for closing the achievement gap. Based on these results, educators should closely examine homework policies and practices within their district, as well as examine other strategies for increasing student learning.

Download or read book International Guide to Student Achievement written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Guide to Student Achievement brings together and critically examines the major influences shaping student achievement today. There are many, often competing, claims about how to enhance student achievement, raising the questions of "What works?" and "What works best?" World-renowned bestselling authors, John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman have invited an international group of scholars to write brief, empirically-supported articles that examine predictors of academic achievement across a variety of topics and domains. Rather than telling people what to do in their schools and classrooms, this guide simply provides the first-ever compendium of research that summarizes what is known about the major influences shaping students’ academic achievement around the world. Readers can apply this knowledge base to their own school and classroom settings. The 150+ entries serve as intellectual building blocks to creatively mix into new or existing educational arrangements and aim for quick, easy reference. Chapter authors follow a common format that allows readers to more seamlessly compare and contrast information across entries, guiding readers to apply this knowledge to their own classrooms, their curriculums and teaching strategies, and their teacher training programs.
Download or read book Assessment as Learning written by Zi Yan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a solid theoretical basis of assessment-as-learning and updated empirical evidences, this timely book significantly expands the existing scope of assessment-as-learning typically developed in Western contexts. This edited volume updates theoretical and empirical advances in assessment-as-learning in complex learning processes, brought together by an international panel of authors. The contributors provide a wide range of practical ways to harness the power of assessment-as-learning to make it work more effectively not only in the classroom, but also across other achievement-related situations (e.g. examinations, learning processes before and after classes). Assessment as Learning provides a deep contemporary insight into the field of formative assessment, and brings much-needed international perspectives to complement the current Western-focused research. This is a valuable contribution to the discussion, and provides useful insight for researchers in Education.
