This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new estimates of the causal effect of cultural capital on academic achievement. I use a difference-in-difference design which addresses the problem of omitted variable bias which has led to too optimistic estimates of the effect of cultural capital on educational success in previous research. After controlling for family and individual fixed effects, I find that (1) cultural capital (measured by indicators of participation in cultural activities, reading climate, and extracurricular activities) has a positive effect on children's reading and math test scores; (2) the effect of cultural capital is generally smaller than previously reported; and (3) the effect of cultural capital varies across different SES groupings. My results also suggest that the effect of cultural capital on academic achievement varies in low-SES and high-SES environments.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Extracurricular Activities Academic Achievement and Self Esteem Among Lebanese High School Students written by Mary Yeghia Ghazarian and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between involvement in ECA, academic achievement and self esteem was studied in the research paper. The sample included 141 middle and high school students selected from 2 middle SES schools in Greater Beirut. The findings of the ANOVA and t-test suggest that there is a statistically significant difference in the academic achievement of participants in moderate hours of ECA (10-15 hrs/week) compared to low (0-9) or high (16+) participation in ECA. Additional results suggested that self esteem among the three groups was insignificant. Moreover the outcomes revealed that ECA related to sports had greater impact on the academic performance of students than non sport ECA. However, males were the most influenced when it came to sports. Further longitudinal research can be done to identify the long term effect of these ECA on students. The number of ECA can be complementary study as well.
Download or read book Effects of Socioeconomic Status on the Educational Aspirations and Expectations of the Lebanese Armenian High School Students written by Lory Harboyan and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the effects of socioeconomic status on high school students' educational aspirations and expectations. Two other variables, academic achievement and significant others' influence, were studied as influential factors in students' post-high school destinations. The arguments were based on Hyman's class-differentiated value system, and Sewell's social-psychological model for educational attainment. The target sample was the Lebanese Armenian youth attending Armenian schools in Lebanon. The instrument used to collect the data was a 30-item questionnaire that was answered by 211 Lebanese Armenian eleventh grade students. Results of the stepwise regression analyses showed that socioeconomic status had some significant predictive power over students' educational aspirations and expectations. Reported academic achievement-mainly the official Brevet examination scores-and significant others' influence were also related to the subjects' post-high school plans.

In particular, the report considers the complexities in the participation of civil society in international monitoring mechanisms. Following an introduction and an overview of domestic and international legislation, the report provides: a) an overview of the main problems confronting minorities and indigenous peoples in Russia; and b) an outline of the factors affecting the implementation of international mechanisms on minority and indigenous protection. It ends with a series of recommendations to improve the participation, recognition and treatment of minorities and indigenous peoples in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khazanov's astute assessments of ethnic and political strife in Russia, in Chechnia, in Central Asia, in Kazakhstan, among the Meskhetian Turks, and among the Yakut of Eastern Siberia illuminate the interconnections between nationalism, ethnic relations, social structures, and political process in the waning days of the USSR and in the new independent states. Exploring the Soviet nationality policy and its failure to satisfy national aspirations, Khazanov demonstrates the fatal flaws of totalitarian rule and the impossibility of reforming it. Khazanov cautions that the liberal democratic direction of current transformations in the former Soviet Union should not be taken for granted. For most of the independent states, he points out, departing from totalitarianism requires creation of a civil society for the first time in their history. The state's partial retreat from the public sphere leaves a dangerous institutional vacuum, in which nationalism is emerging as the dominant ideology. He warns that this new, post-totalitarian society is still a far cry from a genuine liberal democracy and, despite its inherent instability, may turn out to be a long-lasting phenomenon.
