This book was released on 2012 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if noncognitive variables, alone or in combination with standardized test score (ACT or SAT) and/or high school grade point average, can predict student success (first-semester grade point average, first to second year retention and five year graduation rate) for 154 academically at-risk college freshmen admitted into the Conditional Admissions Program (CAP) at the University of Central Missouri for the Fall 2007 semester. In this investigation, student success was defined as a first semester GPA of 2.0 or higher, retaining to the second year and graduating within a five year time frame. Through the six- question short answer-style Insight Resume, noncognitive attributes were evaluated based on each student's life experiences and what they learned from those experiences. Correlations were calculated measuring the relationship between the Insight Resume and the dependent variables. Findings revealed there were only slight correlations between Insight Resume score and earning a first semester GPA of 2.0 or greater, retaining from the first to the second year, and graduating in five years. In addition, logistic regression was used to measure the predictive value of the combination of the Insight Resume scores, HSGPA and composite ACT scores on predicting first semester GPA of 2.0 or higher, retention from year one to year two, or five year graduation rate. Results indicated that there was no indication any of the predictor variables significantly improved the ability to predict earning a first semester GPA of 2.0 or higher or whether a student would retain or graduate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempted the answer to two primary questions: (a) Are strategic thinking skills possessed by college students prior to university matriculation related to their academic success in college, and (b) How does the predictive accuracy afforded by these skills compare to that from high school grade point average or standardized test scores? A non-experimental quantitative longitudinal research design was employed to conduct this analysis. Three cognitive skills associated with strategic thinking (reframing, reflection, and systems thinking) high school grade point average and standardized test scores served as predictor variables. Six contextual variables - age, gender, ethnicity, education of mother, education of father and academic discipline served as moderators of the relationship between the use of strategic thinking skills and student academic success. Predictor and moderator variable data were collected in the fall of 2009 from a random sample of 229 entering freshman in their first three weeks of university matriculation to mitigate the effect of their program of study and college experience on their thinking skills. The criterion variable - academic success - was measured by student college grade point average, time to degree and degree earned. Data on the criterion variable were collected during the summer of 2013 and fall 2014, from university archival sources, for academic years 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13. Multiple regression and correlation analyses were used to test the hypotheses engendered by the research questions. This research found significant positive correlations among the use of strategic thinking skills and high school grade point average, college grade point average, time to degree and degree earned. College grade point average was the strongest predictor of time to degree and degree earned. These findings add a new dimension that colleges and universities may wish to consider in their admission decisions. The findings also suggest that curricula in K-12 education should be examined to be sure these skills - reframing, systems thinking, and reflecting are taught and learned. Thus, the findings will have theoretical and practical significance.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study investigated the predictive role of the Big Five personality traits on academic achievement and its mediation by self-efficacy in self-regulated learning and academic motivation within the sample of gifted students (N = 161). The ACT or ACT Explore scores were used as a measure of academic achievement. The first question asked about the relationships between the Big Five personality traits and all other measured variables. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were found to have significant associations with the ACT/ACT Explore composite and subtest scores. The second research question asked if personality, motivation, and self-regulatory efficacy differed by grade and gender. The results revealed that middle school students scored significantly higher than high school students on extraversion. Female students scored higher on neuroticism and lower on extraversion compared to their male counterparts. In addition, female students had more controlled type of motivation than male students. The third question was about the interplay between personality traits, self-regulatory efficacy, academic motivation, and academic achievement. Self-regulatory efficacy, controlled motivation, and autonomous motivation were hypothesized to serve as mediators in the relationships between personality traits and academic achievement. Of the Big Five traits, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness were presented in the path analysis model. All three personality traits had direct effects on academic achievement. The indirect effects of these traits through specific pathways were estimated. The present study contributes to the research field by revealing important relationships between specific constructs that have been suggested by personality, social cognitive, and self-determination theories. Academic motivation and self-regulatory efficacy established as important mediators of the association between Big Five personality traits and academic achievement. These findings suggest that educators should be aware of their students' different personality traits. Educators play an important role in promoting self-regulated learning (Peeters et al., 2014) and fostering intrinsic motivation and task engagement (Reeve, 2002). They should be trained to enhance students' efficacy by developing their self-regulatory skills through internalization of effective strategies for learning. In addition, teachers should learn how to be more autonomy supportive with students. Educational leaders have a key responsibility to make these happen effectively. They should give proactive attention to these requirements and ensure that their teachers are well-equipped to integrate self-regulatory and motivational resources into the school curriculum.
