This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It particularly aimed at investigating the relationship between self-esteem and gender, grade level, and academic achievement among a sample of Lebanese Secondary school students: grades 10, 11 and 12. Six schools were randomly sampled and one section of each grade was randomly chosen. Participants were 479 students of whom 235 were males and 244 were females. The students responded to Culture-Free Self-Esteem inventory questionnaire (CFSEI-3). SPSS was used for analyzing data, using ANOVA design. The results revealed no significant gender difference in the Global, General, Academic, Parental and Social self-esteem subscales. Whereas the results showed a significant difference between males and females in the Personal self-esteem subscales. The results also revealed a significant difference between grade levels in the Global, General, Academic, and Social self-esteem subscale while no significant difference was recorded in the Personal and Parental self-esteem subscales among those grade levels. No significant interaction between gender and grade level in the Global, General, Academic, and Social self-esteem subscales. However, a significant interaction was noticed in the Personal self-esteem subscale. There was a significantly low correlation between self-esteem and academic achievement in the Global, General, Academic, and Parental self-esteem subscales, but no significant correlation was revealed between Social and Personal self-esteem subscales and academic achievement in the whole sample and in grades 10 and 11. In the case of grade 12 a significant correlation was recorded between the Global, General, Academic self-esteem and academic achievement. No significant difference was recorded between the Parental, Social and Personal self-esteem subscales and academic achievement of grade 12 students. Finally, z scores revealed no significant correlation differences across grade levels. Some findings with regards to the relationship between gender, grade level and interaction were noted concerning the six individual schools represented in the sample. Results were compared and discussed.

A convenient sample of 712 primary students ranging from primary 4 to 6 responded to the survey questionnaire. Children Hope Scale (CHS; Snyder, Hoza et al., 1997), Self-descriptive Questionnaire 1 (SDQ 1; Marsh, 1988) and Academic Achievement Score (AAS) were used to study hope and its relationships with self-concept and academic achievement. One-way ANOVA analysis, correlation analysis, univariate tests, post hoc test and multiple regression analysis were conducted to examine hope among Chinese primary students and its relationships to self-esteem and academic achievement. The findings showed that female students statistically excelled male students in the CHS, SDQ 1 and AAS scores. More importantly, the findings indicated there was gender difference in hope among Chinese children. It questioned previous finding that there was no gender difference in the CHS. This contradictory finding implies that cultural factor plays a role in children's hope. Second, although CHS was successful in predicting academic achievement, the amount of the variance they explained was very small. Pathway failed to predict unique variance of academic achievement. These findings imply that cultural difference in attributing success may exist. Third, academic self-esteem was proven more powerful than CHS in predicting students' academic achievement. IIIImplications for research and practice in developmental guidance were discussed.

Download or read book Mathematics Anxiety written by Irene C. Mammarella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feelings of apprehension and fear brought on by mathematical performance can affect correct mathematical application and can influence the achievement and future paths of individuals affected by it. In recent years, mathematics anxiety has become a subject of increasing interest both in educational and clinical settings. This ground-breaking collection presents theoretical, educational and psychophysiological perspectives on the widespread phenomenon of mathematics anxiety. Featuring contributions from leading international researchers, Mathematics Anxiety challenges preconceptions and clarifies several crucial areas of research, such as the distinction between mathematics anxiety from other forms of anxiety (i.e., general or test anxiety); the ways in which mathematics anxiety has been assessed (e.g. throughout self-report questionnaires or psychophysiological measures); the need to clarify the direction of the relationship between math anxiety and mathematics achievement (which causes which). Offering a revaluation of the negative connotations usually associated with mathematics anxiety and prompting avenues for future research, this book will be invaluable to academics and students in the field psychological and educational sciences, as well as teachers working with students who are struggling with mathematics anxiety

Abstract: The result from the writer's last research showed that students from an English Medium of Instruction (EMI) school had a higher self-esteem level than those from a Chinese Medium of Instruction (CMI) school. This researcher provides a picture of the adolescents' self-esteem development under the fine-tuned MOI policy at an EMI school in Hong Kong. The research focuses on the differences of students' self-esteem level in form three and form six as well as the differences of female students' and male students' self-esteem level in these two forms respectively. Understanding female and male adolescents' self-esteem development is very important for teachers as teachers play an important role in an adolescent's life. Data collected from 119 secondary school students from an EMI school in Hong Kong. A questionnaire, Chinese Adolescent Self-Esteem Scale (CASES), was used to measure students' self-esteem in seven domains: social, intellectual, family, physical, moral, appearance and general self-esteem. The findings showed adolescents' self-esteem level varied. In particular, male students' social self-esteem level and general self-esteem decreased while female students' intellectual self-esteem, family self-esteem, appearance self-esteem and general self-esteem increased during adolescence. In terms of gender, male students in junior form perceived a higher intellectual self-esteem, appearance self-esteem and general self-esteem than female students in junior form. In contrast, female students in senior form had a higher social self-esteem, moral self-esteem, and family self-esteem than male students in senior form.

This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging technologies and products such as digital health technology, computing platforms, wearable devices, smartphone sensors and electronic gadgets have the potential to transform and empower society while simultaneously presenting unprecedented challenges in our life. Some like electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are for entertainment, some like online conference platforms are for convenience and some like social media have become a life necessity. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether the use of physical and virtual digital technology products can do harm to mental health. Some evidence-based research shows that frequent use of social media may cause depression and anxiety, and derived behavioral phenomena like cyberbullying and game addiction, which negatively affect people’s lives. Other scholars think digital technology products could provide insights into timely, personalized, engaging and accessible intervention, promotion and improvement of mental health. Given the ubiquity of digital devices and their complex and subtle associations with mental health, more research is needed to bring benefits to both research and daily life practices.
