This book was released on 2008-07-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research indicate the important connections among academic motivation and achievement, social relationships, and school culture. However, much of this research has been conducted in homogenous American schools serving middle class, average achieving, Anglo-student populations. This edited volume will argue that school culture is a reflection of the society in which the school is embedded and comprises various aspects, including individualism, competition, cultural stereotypes, and extrinsically guided values and rewards. They address three specific conceptual questions: How do differences in academic motivation for diverse groups of students change over time? How do students' social cognitions influence their motivational processes and outcomes in school? And what has been done to enhance academic motivation? To answer this last question, the contributors describe empirically validated intervention programs for improving academic motivation in students from elementary school through college.
Download or read book The Factors Effecting Student Achievement written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 333 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown the direct relations of student academic motivation and perceptions of school climate with academic achievement. However, most studies examine these relations separately. Research examining the mediating effects of motivation in the linking of school climate perceptions and achievement is limited. In order to address this limitation and contribute to the existing body of research in this area, the current study employed structural equation modeling to (a) examine a model that illustrates the role of motivation in the linking of student perceptions of school climate to academic achievement, and (b) test this model fit across student groups according to gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Analysis used data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS: 2002) that were gathered in a survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics and are representative of a national sample of 10th grade students. The results showed that the hypothesized model fit the data acceptably for the overall sample and across student groups. In the overall model, students' perceptions of school climate related significantly with both achievement outcomes. Additionally, perceptions of teacher/student relationship related significantly with all motivation variables. Most group differences were found across ethnicities. In regard to the role motivation might play in the linking of school climate with achievement, self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation appear to play roles in the linking of student perceptions of teacher/student relationship with achievement. It also appears that intrinsic motivation might play a role in the linking of students' perceptions of order/safety/discipline. Both self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation appear to play less of a role in the linking of students' perceptions of fairness/clarity of rules and achievement in reading and math. The study contributes to the research regarding school climate, motivation, and achievement by testing a complex model that examines the role of motivation as a link in the relations between school climate and achievement. Further, the results of the study not only confirm results of past studies and support the theoretical contentions of social cognitive and cognitive evaluation theories by illuminating the significant roles teachers play in supporting student motivation but also shed light on areas that require further study.

Download or read book The Psychology of School Climate written by Garry Wade McGiboney and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have become impatient with school reform and school improvement efforts that fail to include school climate. The importance of a positive school climate is emerging in current research, not only as an essential component of school reform and school improvement, but also as a necessary framework for maintaining excellent schools and providing healthy and safe schools for all students. Research strongly suggests that educators and policy makers have a lot to learn about the importance of school climate for school safety and academic success. With the growing body of research regarding school climate, it is important to study the research and understand how the psychology of school climate and how the elements of school climate can be viewed from a population-based perspective, as well as understanding the impact of school climate on individual students. This review of school climate research includes hundreds of articles and research papers of different perspectives from around the world in numerous cultures. School climate is becoming a science of education and psychology that must be studied further in order to understand the dynamic nature of learning environments, to identify elements that support or threaten the learning environment, and to learn how to improve the conditions for learning in all schools.

"Academic achievement is an incredible pointer for the general prosperity of youth and an essential indicator and determinant of adults physical well being outcomes "(Vernez, Krop & Rydell, 1999). 1.1 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT Academic Achievement is a manifold construct that consists of different domains of learning and is taken as the criterion for selection, encouragement and recognition of students in various walks of life. It is considered as a determinant to evaluate ones potentialities and capabilities, students in all cultures are expected to accomplish high levels of academic achievement. According to Trow, "Academic achievement is a knowledge attaining ability or degree of competence in school tasks, usually measured by standardized tests and expressed in a grade or units based on pupil's performance" According to Crow & Crow (1969), "It is the extent to which a learner is profiting from instructions in the given area of learning". "Academic achievement is the attainment of knowledge, competencies, and higher-level status, as reflected in grades, degrees, and other forms of certification or public acknowledgement" (Collins & O'Brien, 2011),
