Book The Relative Importance of Academic Achievement in Determining the Self esteem of Students in Rural British Columbia

Download or read book The Relative Importance of Academic Achievement in Determining the Self esteem of Students in Rural British Columbia written by Scott E. Bergstrome and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As school systems across North America struggle to redefine themselves, educators everywhere are seeking a balance between academic achievement and the human and social needs of their students. The purpose of this correlational study was to quantitatively assess the construct of the school experience, as determined by academic achievement, as measured by GPA, and the level of involvement in school activities, from the perspective of four measures of student self-esteem. Data were collected from 263 students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 in a small district in southwestern Canada. The first part of this study explored the relationship between student self-esteem and four independent variables: GPA, level of involvement, grade level, and gender. The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory was used to measure self-esteem on four scales. As a result of multiple regression analysis it was found that the R2 values were very low in all cases (ranging from 0.20 to 0.36), which indicates that the factors studied were poor indicators of self-esteem and that there was a great deal unexplained variation associated with the data. GPA, level of involvement, grade and GPA: grade were significant at .05 level of significance. Gender was not a significant factor in this study. It appears that self-esteem is linearly related to GPA, with the intercept depending on the grade, level of involvement, and gender and the slope depending on the grade. The relationship between GPA and self-esteem was strongest at Grade 6. Self-esteem was found to be strongest for students who were heavily involved in school-related or extra-curricular activities. Eleven survey questions regarding the school experience were analyzed using logistical regression analysis, which showed that the importance of getting good grades and participating in school activities varied according to grade and gender. Academic achievement was most important to Grade 6 students, good grades were more important to girls, than boys, and the association between getting good grades and self-esteem was strongest at Grade 6. This study suggests the current focus on intellectual development in most schools may not have the desired effect on social and human development, more specifically, the development of healthy self-esteem.

Book Self Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement

Download or read book Self Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement written by Barry J. Zimmerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together internationally known researchers representing different theoretical perspectives on students' self-regulation of learning. Diverse theories on how students become self-regulated learners are compared in terms of their conceptual origins, scientific form, research productivity, and pedagogical effectiveness. This is the only comprehensive comparison of diverse classical theories of self-regulated learning in print. The first edition of this text, published in 1989, presented descriptions of such differing perspectives as operant, phenomenological, social learning, volitional, Vygotskian, and constructivist theories. In this new edition, the same prominent editors and authors reassess these classic models in light of a decade of very productive research. In addition, an information processing perspective is included, reflecting its growing prominence. Self-regulation models have proven especially appealing to teachers, coaches, and tutors looking for specific recommendations regarding how students activate, alter, and sustain their learning practices. Techniques for enhancing these processes have been studied with considerable success in tutoring sessions, computer learning programs, coaching sessions, and self-directed practice sessions. The results of these applications are discussed in this new edition. The introductory chapter presents a historical overview of research and a theoretical framework for comparing and contrasting the theories described in the following chapters, all of which follow a common organizational format. This parallel format enables the book to function like an authored textbook rather than a typical edited volume. The final chapter offers an historical assessment of changes in theory and trends for future research. This volume is especially relevant for students and professionals in educational psychology, school psychology, guidance and counseling, developmental psychology, child and family development, as well as for students in general teacher education.

Book Relationships Among School Size Self esteem and Achievement in Missouri High Schools

Download or read book Relationships Among School Size Self esteem and Achievement in Missouri High Schools written by Edward Allen Williamson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between high school size and reported student self-esteem and academic achievement in Missouri public high schools. A secondary purpose was to compare selected Missouri public high schools on 16 school district characteristics to determine trends which may help explain their displayed scores for student self-esteem and academic achievement. This study provides a baseline analysis of the variables and their relationships. To fulfill the purposes of this study, analysis was conducted in two stages. Stage One of the study consisted of regression analysis on the relationship between school size and the dependent variables of student self-esteem and academic achievement. Regression analysis revealed a significant and positive relationship between school size and student self-esteem. Regression analysis also revealed a significant and negative relationship between school size and student academic achievement. This analysis allowed the identification of schools which had displayed scores at least 1.5 standard deviations above or below the mean for each of the dependent variables. Stage Two of this study consisted of a comparison of the identified schools on 16 school district characteristics to determine trends which would help explain their displayed scores on the dependent variables. The comparison analysis of Stage Two was conducted in four groups: Schools with high reported student self-esteem, Schools with low reported student self-esteem, Schools with high displayed student academic achievement, and Schools with low displayed student academic achievement. Comparisons were also made between schools in each group based on size. Schools were divided into large schools (those with an average grade level of 100 students or more) and small schools (those with an average grade level enrollment of less than 100 students). Group trends were established and differences between school sizes were identified. Implications of the study and avenues for future research were discussed.

Download or read book A Survey of Upward Bound Programs on the Achievement of Rural High School Students written by Dewayne Middleton and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of African American students on the impact of an Upward Bound Program on their academic performance, self-esteem, and the attitudes toward post-secondary educational success. Specifically, this study was concerned with the following variables: gender, family structure, and age as they related to the students aforementioned perceptions. A survey design was employed in this investigation to collect and analyze the data. Three hundred fifty-three (353) African American high school students participated in this empirical study. An instrument entitled "The Middleton Upward Bound Survey" was used to gather the data. The investigative instrument was validated by a group of Upward Bound professionals and university research professors. The instrument had an alpha coefficient of .84 for the test as a whole. Moreover, the data was tested through the application of the One-Way Analysis of Variance and the Scheffe' Multiple Comparison Test. Among the conclusions of this study were the following; in general it appeared the younger African American high school students are more favorable to his/her perceptions regarding the impact of an Upward Bound Programs on student academic achievement. African American high school students who reside with a guardian also tend to have more favorable perceptions regarding the impact of an Upward Bound Programs on their academic achievement. Regardless, of African American high school students' age, gender or family structure, they tend to have similar perceptions regarding the impact of an Upward Bound Programs on their attitudes toward post-secondary educational success.

Book Self Esteem and Academic Achievement in Middle School Students

Download or read book Self Esteem and Academic Achievement in Middle School Students written by Brian Kitchin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the connection between the academic side of learning and the social emotional. More specifically, this study looks at one specific social emotional category, self-esteem, and examines the possibility of a correlation to academic success. Using a well-established quantifiable measure of self-esteem, The Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory and each of its embedded self-esteem subscores (General Self, Social Self, Home/ Parent Self, School/ Academic Self), the self-esteem level of 51 volunteer participants were established. Each participant was middle school aged (Grades 6-8) and was a current student at a middle school in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Using a multiple regression, these Coopersmith scores were individually compared to grades in core academic subjects (Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies) as well as NJSLA standardized assessment scores in Math and ELA. The results varied for the different conducted tests. Overall, a correlation was not found to exist between NJSLA scores and self-esteem as determined by the Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory. However, there was a positive correlation found to exist between grades in core academic subjects and participant self-esteem. The correlation was not strong enough to be used as a predictor for individual student grades or self-esteem level; however, a P-value of greater than .95 for multiple Coopersmith subscores is indicative of a relationship between the two variables that is statistically significant. This is evidence to suggest that as a whole, middle school students with higher self-esteem are also more likely to see an increase in academic success as well. (ProQuest abstract).
