Download or read book Ability grouping and Secondary Student Attributions of Success and Failure in Hong Kong and Shanghai written by Aohua Ni and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are international differences in the degree to which students attribute their failures to internal factors or external factors. These differences appear not only between countries, but also within China and between the school systems of Shanghai and Hong Kong. Many researchers interested in cross-cultural comparison have explored differences in students' attributional thinking. By contrast with past cross-cultural research, this thesis looks at variations in attributions within contemporary Chinese culture, because students' school experiences vary widely between Hong Kong and Shanghai. All students are ability grouped in 10th grade in both cities. However, only Hong Kong students are ability grouped in 9th grade, while Shanghai students are expected to attend a neighborhood school. Because the students in each city share a similar cultural background, the thesis explores the possibility that there are 9th-10th grade differences in their attributions of success and failure caused by differences in the ability grouping during students' transitions to 10th grade. I first review the education policies of Shanghai and Hong Kong. My policy analysis considers that ability grouping and education system structure can be a possible explanation for the differences in students' attributions. Then I use PISA student questionnaire item #44, "Attributions of failure" as an illustration of how students' attributional differences might be explained by differences in ability grouping between these two cities.

Book excerpt: (Uncorrected OCR) Abstract This study aims at understanding how (1) the new immigrant and non-immigrant students in I long Kong define categories of achievement and, (2) how they attribute the success and failure in these categories thai are found to be important lo them. The new immigrant students are believed to be more under ilie influence of traditional Chinese culture while the non-immigrant students are more under Western cultural influence. The findings from the two groups are compared in order to sec if there arc significant differences between them that can be explained in terms of the cultural influences of the two groups. 298 participants (112 immigrant students and 186 nonimmigrant students) were invited to fill in a questionnaire. Immigrant students are defined as those Chinese new immigrants who have come to Hong Kong for two or less than two years, and participants in this study are new immigrant students attending grade 5 to 6 in their schools, with an average age of 13. 1 he two groups of participants were matched by their age, and therefore non-immigrant participants are students attending grade 7. The questionnaire consists of four parts: (1) the student's personal information, (2) importance ratings on success situations. (3) attribution lor the success situations, and (4) description of the attributes along the dimensions of locus of control, controllability and stability.

Abstract: iii Abstract of dissertation entitled 'Achievement Orientation and Academic Causal Attribution of Chinese Students in Hong Kong' submitted by Kit-Tai Hau for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in June 1992. Various literatures seem to suggest that effort, endurance, hard work, and learning goals are emphasized in the Chinese culture. However, due to the keen competition for better educational opportunities, the children in Hong Kong may be quite performance oriented. The present research attempts to explore how these counteracting forces are influencing the academic achievement orientations and attributions of students in Hong Kong. There were totally seven separate but related studies in the whole research. The subjects were 603, 405, 559, 271, 609, 923, and 386 elementary, high school and university students respectively. Studies One, Two, and Three examined students' academic causal attributions, achievement goals (learning vs. performance-oriented), theories of intelligence (e.g., 'Is intelligence inborn?'), and perceived values of diligent and intelligent people (e.g., 'Are diligent people trustworthy?'). Age-related iv differences as well as the interrelations among the above conceptions were inspected and compared with those observed in Western cultures. Study Four helped to explain the results in various parts of the research through the examination of the exact causal dimensional meaning of the specific causes as perceived by the students (e.g., Is ability controllable?). Information integration model, a methodology totally different from those in Studies One to Three, was also used in Study Five to see how Chinese students perceive the role of effort and ability in immediate performance. The last part of the research, Studies Six and Seven, was constituted of two experimental studies on the applications of the attributional theory in actual classroom situations. The first experiment was on the attributional information of teachers' evaluative feedback and the other compared the effects of various attributional feedback. The findings of the whole research were explained in three main contexts: results consistent with previous findings in the West, results reflecting characteristics of the Chinese culture, and results suggesting age-related differences and possible changes in the learning environment at different educational levels. Generally, there were results suggesting a stronger emphasis of effort and learning (task-oriented) rather than ability and performance among Chinese. Lastly, limitations of the research and v directions for future studies were also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differences in reaction to personal failure between Western and Far Eastern cultures are explained by differences in cognitive organization. American students who had failed and some who had excelled were compared to similar Far Eastern students. American students react to failure by maintaining a low interrelationship among all the variables studied (the interpersonal failure message and intrapersonal cognitions about the self) indicating a somewhat flexible cognitive organization. The Far Eastern students react to failure by showing a low relationship between the failure message and self cognitions, and a high, inflexible, interrelationship among the self cognitions. The findings have practical significance for social and economic development in the Far East. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A Bloomberg Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020 A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2020 A Human Behavior & Evolution Society Must-Read Popular Evolution Book of 2020 A bold, epic account of how the co-evolution of psychology and culture created the peculiar Western mind that has profoundly shaped the modern world. Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, you’re rather psychologically peculiar. Unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves—their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations—over their relationships and social roles. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically distinct? What role did these psychological differences play in the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe during the last few centuries? In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition—laying the foundation for the modern world. Provocative and engaging in both its broad scope and its surprising details, The WEIRDest People in the World explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape one another, and explains what this means for both our most personal sense of who we are as individuals and also the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive human history. Includes black-and-white illustrations.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to translate the Academic Success Inventory for College Students (ASICS; Prevatt et al., 2011), which was originally developed in an English speaking Western culture in the United States, into the Korean language and to test the cross-cultural validation of the Korean version of the ASICS with a sample of Korean college students. This translation and adaptation of the Korean language version of the ASICS is intended to be used to in cross-cultural research to enhance our understanding of academic success in Korean college student and to improve cross-cultural measurement generalizability in the area of academic success in college students. The present study strictly followed prescribed and validated translation procedures suggested by researchers to translate the original ASICS into Korean language (Brislin, 1970; Chapman & Carter, 1979; Geisinger, 1994; Hambleton, 2001). Given both the current lack of effective measurements of academic success in college students and the limited existing information regarding these measurements in non-Western cultures, the present study makes a significant contribution to research in the area of cross-cultural measurement of academic success in college students. Data analyses of the present study were conducted in order to find empirical evidence for the reliability and four validities such as criterion, convergent, discriminant, and factorial validities of the Korean translated version of the ASICS with a South Korean sample. The Korean ASICS's reliability was calculated by internal consistency (e.g., a coefficient alpha value) and compared to the Cronbach's alpha reliability from a U.S. sample. The criterion validity of the Korean ASICS was conducted by a normal test of correlations between students' subscale scores of the ASICS and their overall grade point averages. The convergent validity was conducted by a normal test of correlations between students' subscale scores on the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ; Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, & McKeachie, 1991). The discriminant validity was examined by using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) for comparison between high performing students and low performing students among Korean college students. Finally, the factorial validity was tested by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the consistency of the factor structure of the Korean ASICS with that of the original English version of the ASICS. In result, the ten Korean ASICS subscales were found to possess an excellent overall internal consistency of.91. Correlational analysis between the ten scale scores of the Korean ASICS and cumulative GPA of the Korean sample were conducted and eight subscales were positive and showed statistically significant correlations with GPA at a level of .01, thus supporting criterion validity in predicting GPA with a Korean sample. As hypothesized, there appears to be strong evidence that ASICS and MSLQ questionnaires converge to measure constructs of academic success and motivation. The results of a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to investigate differences in the ten mean scale scores between the high performing and the low performing groups showed statistically significant on seven out of the ten Korean ASICS subscales. In terms of factor structure of the ASICS with a Korean sample, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis of the ten-factor model of the Korean ASICS fit best. The findings of the present study may provide a preliminary reference for the first use of a translated version of the ASICS as a potential prescreening tool for at-risk college students in South Korea. Findings need to be carefully interpreted when gathered from local populations in Korea.
