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.

This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background of the Study Modern age is the age of competition in all walks of life either it is academic or vast arena of non-academic fields. Therefore, success in every field is determined by performance. The concept of performance refers to how well the given task is completed against the set standards. Everywhere there is high competition in the working world which is increasingly growing day by day. The importance of doing well in schools has caught the attention of everyone in all spheres of life including parents, teachers, legislators, and government education departments, etc. Although, simple education is necessarily very important but not the only road to success in the competitive world. However, quality of performance in academic achievement and thereafter, continuous quality effort to achieve the goals and objectives are instrumental for performance at par with standards to meet the challenges. Much effort has been made to identify, track and encourage the progress of students in schools. Parents have to care about their child's performance in school because they believe good academic results will provide better career choices, success, and job security. Performance in school is evaluated in a number of ways. For regular performance assessment, student demonstration of their understanding and knowledge in written and oral tests, performance in presentations, completion of homework assignments, participation in-class activities and discussions are and finally achievement scores usually considered as performance criteria. Teachers evaluate it in the form of grades to describe how well a student has done. Grading system came into existence in the late Victorian period and was initially criticized due to high subjectivity. Different teachers valued different aspects of learning more than others, although some standardization was attempted in order to make the system fairer the problem still continued. The performance, especially of students in studies, is most likely determined by family environment, emotional maturity, and educational encouragement which all initially come from the family environment. Here, it is important to mention that the phenomenon of educational encouragement has not been studied especially in the Indian context which to the present investigator seems to be very important for students' motivation and thereby attaining high performance. With these above deliberations, it is necessary to go further to undertake each and every variable for a comprehensive discussion that follows in the writings to proceed. Chapter -1 Introd,

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.

Download or read book Student Achievement and the Changing American Family written by David Waltz Grissmer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1994 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable debate about the direction and causes of change in U.S. student performance over the last 25 years. This study (1) estimates the net effect of changing family characteristics and demographics on aptitude scores and (2) compares the expected changes to actual changes to estimate the effects of factors unrelated to family. The conclusions undercut the conventional wisdom about failing schools, deteriorating families, and ineffective public investments and policies. The study estimates that changing family characteristics would boost scores by about 7 percentile points. These gains come primarily from higher parental education and smaller family size, which translates into more resources per child. For non-Hispanic white students, the actual gains in scores were approximately the same as expected from family changes. However, black and Hispanic students made far larger gains than non-Hispanic white students, and only about one-third of the gains could be explained by changing family characteristics. These large unexplained gains for minority students may be evidence that additional public investment in schools and social programs and equal educational opportunity policies have had marked benefits. The authors caution that the results should not be interpreted to mean that conditions have improved for every student, family or school, only that averaging across all 14-18-year-old students over the last 20 years indicates a positive change.
Download or read book Identifying Niche specific Effects of Family related Stressful Life Events and Protective Factors on Adolescent Academic Achievement written by Eileen Haddad and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has consistently documented a negative association between family-related stressful life events and academic achievement among adolescents. However, the existing research on this topic does not adequately address how this relation may be influenced by the ecological context in which it occurs. Using a large, diverse sample (N = 15,080) from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), the current study addresses this gap by utilizing Bronfenbrenner's (1979) ecological systems framework to contextualize the relations between family stress and academic achievement in terms of ecological niches defined by adolescents' gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Furthermore, the study examines potential buffers (i.e., self-esteem, locus of control, students' expectations, parents' expectations, and parental involvement) of the family stress-achievement relation. Analyses included an examination of means and correlations across ecological niches, as well as a series of path models using multiple group analysis to test for interaction effects across the ecological niches. The results revealed interesting variations in the means, correlations, and interactions across ecological niches. For example, despite having the lowest levels of family-related stressful life events, the academic achievement of Asian American adolescents, particularly Asian American males from high SES backgrounds, was most vulnerable to the effects of stressful family events. Results also indicated that self-esteem, locus of control, and parental involvement serve as particularly robust buffers to the effects of family stress on academic achievement among Asian American males from low SES backgrounds. The findings also suggest that parents' and adolescents' high expectations were significantly less effective in contexts marked by high family stress, and as a result, were associated with lower standardized test scores in several ecological niches. The findings are discussed in relation to the "model minority" myth--the expectation that all Asian American students are high-achieving. Together, the findings highlight the importance of considering the ecological context when examining developmental processes and outcomes, and more broadly, deepen our understanding of the complex social ecology of adolescent development.
