This book was released on 2013 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays students need to be self-regulated learners because of the complex nature of learning in the 21st classroom. However, neither students nor teachers can promote academic performance alone. Families, also, need to contribute in teaching and learning by providing positive family process factors (FPF). This study aims at examining the relationship between three main factors; Family Process Factors (FPF), Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), and English language achievement in three selected Malaysian secondary schools from the district of Gombak, Kuala Lumpur. The study sample includes 202 students who have been purposefully selected to respond to two surveys: Family Process Factors Questionnaire and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, as well as report their recent marks in English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. The path analysis technique, using AMOS data-fitting program and Sobel test of mediation, supported the hypothesized model by showing statistically significant path coefficients and fit indices. Primarily, it was found that FPF positively influences SRL. Secondly, SRL positively affects Achievement and, finally, SRL plays the role of mediator between FPF and Achievement. Thus, further interest in fostering SRL strategies among secondary school students should be paid by Malaysian parents in particular and educationists in general.

Abstract: Self-regulated Learning in Hong Kong 2 ABSTRACT This study was aimed to examine how SRL components predict academic achievement and to compare the profile of self-regulated learning (SRL) of high and low achievers. Motivation and action control constructs were included in the SRL model. Form Two students (eighth graders equivalent) (N=375) from two secondary schools in top and bottom bandings completed self-regulated learning questionnaire. Their exam results of three core subjects (Chinese, English and Mathematics) were collected. Multiple regression analysis and a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analyze the results. Subject specificity was shown in relation to SRL profile. In general, motivational and action control components were both needed to process SRL and boost the academic performance. Mastery goal was found as a salient variable that high and low achievers distinguished. Among the other SRL components, mastery goal, or generally speaking learning goals, is the determinant in the SRL process. Implications of the result are discussed.

Download or read book Self regulation of Learning and Performance written by Dale H. Schunk and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, educators have become increasingly concerned with students' attempts to manage their own learning and achievement efforts through activities that influence the instigation, direction and persistence of those efforts. In 1989, Zimmerman and Schunk edited the first book devoted to this topic. They assembled key theorists offering a range of perspectives on how students self-regulate their academic functioning. One purpose of that volume was to provide theoretical direction to ongoing as well as nascent efforts to explore academic self-regulatory processes. Since that date, there has been an exponential surge in research. This second volume on academic self-regulation offers the fruits of the first generation of research. It also addresses a number of key issues that have arisen since then such as how self-regulation differs from such related constructs as motivation and metacognition, and whether students can be taught self-regulatory skills. The contributors reveal an interesting, uplifting, and at times, disturbing picture of how students grapple with the day-to-day problems of achieving in circumstances with inherent limitations and obstacles. This volume provides insight into the source of students' capabilities to surmount adversities -- the origins of their self-initiated processes designed to improve learning, motivation, and achievement. The text is organized on the basis of a conceptual framework that analyzes academic self-regulation into four major dimensions. That model is presented in the first chapter, and key processes that influence each of these dimensions are discussed by prominent researchers in the chapters that follow. Because each chapter is written to follow a common format, this work provides a level of continuity and parsimony normally found only in authored textbooks.

Download or read book Rethinking Homework written by Cathy Vatterott and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated edition, Cathy Vatterott examines the role homework has played in the culture of schooling over the years; how such factors as family life, the media, and "homework gap" issues based on shifting demographics have affected the homework controversy; and what recent research as well as common sense tell us about the effects of homework on student learning. She also explores how the current homework debate has been reshaped by forces including the Common Core, a pervasive media and technology presence, the mass hysteria of "achievement culture," and the increasing shift to standards-based and formative assessment. The best way to address the homework controversy is not to eliminate homework. Instead, the author urges educators to replace the old paradigm (characterized by long-standing cultural beliefs, moralistic views, and behaviorist philosophy) with a new paradigm based on the following elements: Designing high-quality homework tasks; Differentiating homework tasks; Deemphasizing grading of homework; Improving homework completion; and Implementing homework support programs. Numerous examples from teachers and schools illustrate the new paradigm in action, and readers will find useful new tools to start them on their own journey. The end product is homework that works—for all students, at all levels.

Download or read book Socioeconomic Inequality and Student Outcomes written by Louis Volante and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines socioeconomic inequality and student outcomes across various Western industrialized nations and the varying success they have had in addressing achievement gaps in lower socioeconomic status student populations. It presents the national profiles of countries with notable achievement gaps within the respective school-aged student populations, explains the trajectory of achievement results in relation to both national and international large-scale assessment measures, and discusses how relevant education policies have evolved within their national contexts. Most importantly, the national profiles investigate the effectiveness of policy responses that have been adopted to close the achievement gap in lower socioeconomic status student populations. This book provides a cross-national analysis of policy approaches designed to address socioeconomic inequality.
