Book Examining the Relationship Between Middle School Students  Use of Learning Strategies  Self efficacy  and Math Achievement

Download or read book Examining the Relationship Between Middle School Students Use of Learning Strategies Self efficacy and Math Achievement written by Riza Memis and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of learning strategies has been found to be one of the most important predictors of academic achievement, which makes the assessment of learning strategy use crucial. The first purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (i.e., reliability and validity) of the learning strategies domain of the GOALS-S (Dowson & McInerney, 2004) with 8th grade students. The learning strategies domain of the GOALS-S items assess students' use of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies. This study also examined the relationship between self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, learning strategy use, and math achievement. The data were collected from 399 eight grade students near the end of 2018-2019 academic year. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the psychometrics properties of the GOALS-S. Following the CFA, the relationship between self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, learning strategy use, and math achievement was examined by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results obtained from this study provided evidence for validity and reliability of the learning strategies domain of the GOALS-S. The data supported the hypothesized six-factor model with minor modifications. The results of the structural model indicated that learning strategy use had a direct impact on mathematics achievement. Also, self-efficacy for self-regulated had direct effect on mathematics achievement, as well as indirect effect on mathematics achievement mediated by learning strategy use. Discussion of the findings, implications for teachers, policy makers, and researchers, and limitations and future directions are presented.

Book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement

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.

Book The Influences of Student Views Related to Mathematics and Self regulated Learning on Achievement of Algebra I Students

Download or read book The Influences of Student Views Related to Mathematics and Self regulated Learning on Achievement of Algebra I Students written by Sukru Kaya and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Previous research indicates that self-regulated learning (SRL) has substantial effects on students' learning and achievement (i.e., De Corte et al., 2000; Pape & Wang, 2003; Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1986, 1988, 1990). A growing body of research consistently points out that student views related to mathematics play an important role in facilitating and constraining students' learning, the development of problem-solving skills, and achievement (i.e., Hofer, 1999; Kloosterman, 1996; Op't Eynde et al., 2002; Schoenfeld, 1992). The current study explored the critical connections between SRL, students' beliefs about mathematics, and Algebra I achievement among 1263 middle school and high school students across the United States who were participants in the CCMS project. Eight structural models were tested to understand (1) direct and indirect relationships between student views related to mathematics on achievement; (2) direct and indirect influences of components of SRL on students' achievement in mathematics; and (3) different models of how student views related to mathematics and components of SRL explain students' achievement. In order to measure student views related to mathematics, a new instrument, Student View about Mathematics (Pape et al., 2005), was developed and tested for construct validity and internal consistency. Moreover, the new instrument was used with the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) (Pintrich et al., 1991) to provide evidence about the indirect effects of students' beliefs about mathematics on mathematical achievement through their effects on self-regulated learning behaviors. Students' performance in Algebra I was assessed through an Algebra I posttest (Abrahamson et al., 2006). The structural models tested in this study suggest that student views related to mathematics directly influence students' achievement and SRL strategies. Student views related to mathematics indirectly predict their achievement, cognitive, metacognitive, and resource management strategies. Motivational beliefs appear to be directly related to students' use of cognitive, metacognitive, and resource management strategy use. Metacognitive and resource management strategy use seems to be the most influential mediating variable in explaining students' achievement in mathematics. Surprisingly, cognitive strategy use was the only variable that may not contribute to students' achievement in mathematics. The implications for future research along with the limitations are discussed.

Book Self Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement

Download or read book Self Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement written by Barry J. Zimmerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together internationally known researchers representing different theoretical perspectives on students' self-regulation of learning. Diverse theories on how students become self-regulated learners are compared in terms of their conceptual origins, scientific form, research productivity, and pedagogical effectiveness. This is the only comprehensive comparison of diverse classical theories of self-regulated learning in print. The first edition of this text, published in 1989, presented descriptions of such differing perspectives as operant, phenomenological, social learning, volitional, Vygotskian, and constructivist theories. In this new edition, the same prominent editors and authors reassess these classic models in light of a decade of very productive research. In addition, an information processing perspective is included, reflecting its growing prominence. Self-regulation models have proven especially appealing to teachers, coaches, and tutors looking for specific recommendations regarding how students activate, alter, and sustain their learning practices. Techniques for enhancing these processes have been studied with considerable success in tutoring sessions, computer learning programs, coaching sessions, and self-directed practice sessions. The results of these applications are discussed in this new edition. The introductory chapter presents a historical overview of research and a theoretical framework for comparing and contrasting the theories described in the following chapters, all of which follow a common organizational format. This parallel format enables the book to function like an authored textbook rather than a typical edited volume. The final chapter offers an historical assessment of changes in theory and trends for future research. This volume is especially relevant for students and professionals in educational psychology, school psychology, guidance and counseling, developmental psychology, child and family development, as well as for students in general teacher education.

Book Structural Equation Modeling

Download or read book Structural Equation Modeling written by Margaret R. Ascolani and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) experience elevated levels of attrition. The broad research agenda of this work aims to investigate these levels of attrition through the lens of self-regulated learning (SRL). Zimmerman’s (2000) SRL model was incorporated, consisting of three, interdependent phases: the forethought phase, performance phase, and self-reflection phase. The three phases were structured around a single task, a biology exam. Before the role of SRL model on academic performance could be assessed, a preliminary study was conducted. This preliminary study included two mediational models, a full and partial. The mediation models aimed to establish the functioning of the SRL model within a domain-specific sample. Results indicate that a fully mediated model did fit better, aligning with the literature. However, the model fit and differences between the two models was not significant enough to establish definitive results.

Book Students at Risk of School Failure

Download or read book Students at Risk of School Failure written by José Jesús Gázquez and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this Research Topic is to determine the conditions that place students at risk of school failure, identifying student and context variables. In spite of the fact that there is currently little doubt about how one learns and how to teach, in some countries of the “developed world,” there is still there is a high rate of school failure. Although the term “school failure” is a very complex construct, insofar as its causes, consequences, and development, from the field of educational psychology, the construct “student engagement” has recently gained special interest in an attempt to deal with the serious problem of school failure. School engagement builds on the anatomy of the students’ involvement in school and describes their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts about their school experiences. So, engagement is an important component of students’ school experience, with a close relationship to achievement and school failure. Children who self-set academic goals, attend school regularly and on time, behave well in class, complete their homework, and study at home are likely to interact adequately with the school social and physical environments and perform well in school. In contrast, children who miss school are more likely to display disruptive behaviors in class, miss homework frequently, exhibit violent behaviors on the playground, fail subjects, be retained and, if the behaviors persist, quit school. Moreover, engagement should also be considered as an important school outcome, eliciting more or less supportive reactions from educators. For example, children who display school-engaged behaviors are likely to receive motivational and instructional support from their teachers. The opposite may also be true. But what makes student engage more or less? The relevant literature indicates that personal variables (e.g., sensory, motor, neurodevelopmental, cognitive, motivational, emotional, behavior problems, learning difficulties, addictions), social and/or cultural variables (e.g., negative family conditions, child abuse, cultural deprivation, ethnic conditions, immigration), or school variables (e.g., coexistence at school, bullying, cyberbullying) may concurrently hinder engagement, preventing the student from acquiring the learnings in the same conditions as the rest of the classmates.

Book Application of Structural Equation Modeling in Educational Research and Practice

Download or read book Application of Structural Equation Modeling in Educational Research and Practice written by Myint Swe Khine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a statistical approach to testing hypothesis about the relationships among observed and latent variables. The use of SEM in research has increased in psychology, sociology, and economics in recent years. In particular educational researchers try to obtain the complete image of the process of education through the measurement of personality differences, learning environment, motivation levels and host of other variables that affect the teaching and learning process. With the use of survey instruments and interviews with students, teachers and other stakeholders as a lens, educators can assess and gain valuable information about the social ecology of the classrooms that could help in improving the instructional approach, classroom management and the learning organizations. A considerable number of research have been conducted to identify the factors and interactions between students’ characteristics, personal preferences, affective traits, study skills, and various other factors that could help in better educational performance. In recent years, educational researchers use Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a statistical technique to explore the complex and dynamic nature of interactions in educational research and practice. SEM is becoming a powerful analytical tool and making methodological advances in multivariate analysis. This book presents the collective works on concepts, methodologies and applications of SEM in educational research and practice. The anthology of current research described in this book will be a valuable resource for the next generation educational practitioners.
