Full textPISA-rapporterna publicerade mellan 2000 och 2013 påvisar en tydlig nedåtgående trend i matematikresultat f ̈or svenska högstadieelever. Nya OECD-rapporter tyder på att trenden alltjämt kvarstår. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka vilka anledningar som ligger bakom den negativa utvecklingen. Kan nedgången härledas ur skolresultat i specifika kommuner med sämre resultat än andra? Den nuvarande situationen i den svenska skolan analyseras ur ett nationellt perspektiv, där kommuner jämförs med varandra. Målet är att undersöka vilka huvudfaktorer som leder till bra skolresultat i en kommun. Vidare är ett mål att identifiera hur det svenska skolsystemet kan förbättras på både kommunal och nationell nivå med hjälp av politiska finansieringsbeslut, samt att analysera vilka faktorer hos samhället i stort som påverkar skolresultaten. Slutligen analyseras utbildningens påverkan på aspekter inom nationalekonomi ur ett makroperspektiv. Slutsatsen dras att flera påverkbara faktorer har signifikant inflytande på elevers genomsnittliga matematikprestation i en kommun. Dessutom konstateras att statliga utgifter skulle göra mer nytta om man valde att satsa på lärarnas kvalitet istället för att satsa på ett ökat antal lärare.

Full textBackground: Institutions offering Bachelor of Nursing programmes worldwide are under increasing pressure to graduate larger numbers of students to meet the demands of the desired nurse workforce. High academic performance, which is measured by continuous assessment and examination results, is one of the major goals of higher education. However many students experience difficulty during their second year of study at the university used in this study. Aim: The overall aim of the study is to assess whether the identified predictor variables (cognitive, non-cognitive and demographic) influence academic performance of second-year nursing students at the University of the Western Cape. Methodology: A non-experimental quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional predictive design was applied. The selected sample (n=226) included all first-time enrolled Bachelor of Nursing students for the years 2012 – 2013 at the University of the Western Cape. An all-inclusive sampling method was applied. Data were obtained from the Student Administrative System Integrated and recorded in the data collection check list. Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 23.0 was used sort and analyse the data. Simple and multiple linear regression were done. Ethics: Permission to conduct the present research study at the University of the Western Cape was obtained from the Registrar and the Director of The School of Nursing. The Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Western Cape granted ethics approval related to the research. The researcher maintained the principles of anonymity and confidentiality throughout the study. Results: The study found that the cognitive predictor variables had the strongest predictive power in association with student performance in comparison to the non-cognitive predictors and demographic variable, besides race which rejected the null hypothesis. Conclusion: The findings provided evidence to the School of Nursing to assist them in identifying students who may be at risk of unsatisfactory academic performance and who ultimately fail to proceed to the next level of study.

Full textUtmattning och tentamensångest är förekommande hos studenter i alla åldrar. Studier visar även att ångest inför en tentamen påverkar prestationen under tentamen. Ändå har inga studier gjorts där man har utforskat en möjlig interaktion mellan tentamensångest, utmattning och tentamensresultat. Målet med denna studie var att undersöka relationen mellan de tre variablerna, mer specifikt om utmattning modererar relationen mellan tentamensångest och hur man presterar på en tentamen. Konceptet utforskades vidare genom att använda en motivationell modell av utmattning. Enkäter som innehöll validerade skalor på sömn, smärta, utmattning och tentamensångest besvarades av studenter på några svenska universitet. Ett korrelationstest visade samband mellan utmattning, tentamensångest och prestation på tentamen, men motivations-utmattning korrelerade inte. Moderationsanalysen visade att utmattning inte modererar sambandet mellan tentamensångest och prestationen under tentamen. Därför rekommenderar vi vidare forskning med ett större urval och kontrollerad miljö, istället för självrapporter.

Research conclusions concerning predictors of academic success have been, at best, less than convincing. In fact, these conclusions are more conflicting or mixed when emotional constructs are used. As a result, modern curriculum developers as well as classroom instructors seem to deemphasize, if not ignore, the role of the affective domain in student learning. This is rather surprising considering that psychology continues to play such an important role in education. For decades, researchers have disagreed about the role played by three primary emotional concepts: self-esteem, parental involvement and student perception as predictors of students' academic success. This study attempts to determine which of these constructs, singly or in combination, can predict students' academic success and if the inclusion of any from among a selected group of demographic variables - socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity and student grade level- can alleviate or at least mitigate the discrepancies of prior research conclusions. A survey using a five point Likert scale was developed to collect data from 164 students in grades 3-7 in a select Philadelphia Charter School. The data were analyzed using Varimax Factor Rotation, Pearson Product-Moment Correlations and Multiple Regression to find answers to four research questions. The results of the analyses using only the emotional constructs were not significant; however, when the demographic constructs were included, specifically the students' grade levels, significant results were found. This study does not settle the controversy over whether or not the emotional constructs are authentic predictors of students' academic success. Nevertheless, the study does give insight into the significance of including the demographic factor of student grade level as a predictor of student academic success. Consequently, the results of this study suggest that any research using emotional constructs to predict the academic success of primary school students should include the various grade levels of the students.

Full textThis study focused in investigating student’s poor academic performance with emphasis on the relationship between motivational factors and scholastic achievement amongst students across the Further Education and Training phase. Using rural-based schools as a case study that underperformed in 2014, this study presented the results from a survey and that was conducted to Grade 10 to 12 students using Motivation and Engagement Scale-High School (MES-H). The findings suggested that both internal and external factors contributed to student’s academic performance. The results showed that internal factors like student self-confidence, planning, hard work were some of the dominant internal factors that promoted student engagement high academic performance while anxiety, uncertain control and self-sabotage were major indicators of poor academic performance and disengagement. The study found that external factors like parental involvement, collaborative learning and good life were highly illuminated as positive external contributors to student’s high academic performance. This study argued that both the internal and external factors played a vital role towards enhancing and developing student’s high academic performance standards. This study contributed to the body of knowledge in the student academic performance arguing that parents and teachers have an equal and dual responsibility towards student success. For the future research, the researcher propose that the investigation should be extended to the majority of students for the better generalization of the findings based on the relationship between motivational factors and school success. Further research that includes educators, students and parents in the education system could be ideal. The research that will focus on parents, teachers and students should be undertaken to further contribute to the research agenda that seeks to understand student motivation and academic success. This type of research will extend the understanding of motivational factors and student success from an extended view beyond the classroom and school setting. The research should be conducted in both urban and rural areas. The study gives some information relating to the issue of students affected by their environment. Further investigation can be done on students from, different environments (township, suburbs, rural etc.)

Full textDoctor of Philosophy
The population in the United States of America is rapidly becoming more diverse in terms of ethnicities, religions, and resident demographics. As a result of this shifting pattern towards heterogeneity, colleges and universities are also becoming more diverse (Seidman, 2005). International students and Muslim students are two such populations that have contributed to the increased diversity of the student body. Among these populations, international Muslim women reside at a unique intersection of gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, and national identities. Literature reveals that Muslim international women are often stereotyped and they experience Islamophobia in gendered ways (Cole & Ahmadi, 2003). The purpose of my research was to study identity performance of Muslim international women on two college campuses in the U.S. Identity performance was the ways in which these women acted, engaged, interacted, behaved and situated themselves in their various environments (Goffman, 1959). I used Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (1979) as the conceptual framework for this study. This theory identifies five environmental systems in which individuals interact (microsystems, mesosystems, ecosystems, macrosystems, and chronosystems). This study focused on identity performance in microsystems, which were their immediate environments. I used narrative inquiry, a qualitative methodological approach, to pursue two research questions: (1) how do undergraduate Muslim international women describe their experiences of identity performance inside college environments; and (2) how do undergraduate Muslim international women describe their experiences of identity performance outside college environments? I conducted two interviews each with eight participants to collect their stories of identity performance. The stories shared revealed that identity performance was a complex process. Contextual conformity, psychological awareness, agency, resilience, persistence, positivity and appreciation of their experiences influenced their identity performances. This study has implications for faculty and university administrators who are seeking to create inclusive, convenient and encouraging academic and social environments for all students. Findings also have implications for future research on identity performance, contextual conformity, and experiences of Muslim international students.

Full textThis thesis aims to identify psychological processes involved in the upward mobility process. More specifically, we tested in what extent mobility process experienced by lower-class students can lead them to adopt performance-avoidance goals (i.e., fear of failure), which may subsequently negatively impact their performances. In the first study, the link between performance-avoidance goals and performances was tested among lower and higher-class students. The results showed that the adoption of performance-avoidance goals negatively predicted performance of lower-class students (not that of higher-class students) and particuarly if they had good academic results (i.e., more likely to live a mobility experience). The purpose of the second study was to test the role of mobility process as a mediator of the link between social class and the adoption of performance-avoidance goals among lower and higher-class students. The results of this study showed that it is because lower-class students experience upward mobility that they adopt more performance-avoidance goals than their higher-class counterparts. Finally, in the 3 latest studies (studies 3a, 3b and 3c), we tested the impact of mobility process on the adoption of performance-avoidance goals and of high school students’ performances. The results of study 3a showed that within lower-class high school students, the salience of the mobility process increased the adoption of performance-avoidance goals and reduced performances in Mathematics. Moreover, performance-avoidance goals seem to be a mediator of the interaction between social class and salience of the mobility process on mathematics performances, although this effect is not replicated in studies 3b and 3c. The results of the meta-analysis carried out on these last three studies, tend to confirm this assumption. Overall, these results highlight that fear of mobility process would be a mechanism behind the difficulties faced by high school students/students of low social class in academic context to explain, then, their least performances

Resumo: Este estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar o rendimento escolar de alunos de 3º e 4º anos em situação de recuperação e suas relações com as condições de uma escola municipal de Ensino Fundamental de Bauru/SP. Buscou-se desvendar como a referida escola organizou o trabalho didático-pedagógico, de que modo desenvolveu ações de recuperação escolar e quais parâmetros e critérios estabeleceu para considerar os alunos recuperados. A hipótese norteadora do estudo foi de que o rendimento dos alunos em recuperação escolar não decorre somente do trabalho sistemático da coordenação, do grau de compromisso do professor de recuperação e do apoio dos familiares, mas, sobretudo, do nível de exigência da escola para considerá-los efetivamente recuperados, ou seja, ainda que ocorram avanços, eles não ultrapassarão os patamares mais elementares se o nível de exigência da escola for baixo e o próprio aluno considerado como parâmetro de avaliação. Trata-se de pesquisa de base empírica, de abordagem qualitativa, com procedimentos metodológicos que envolveram análise de documentos da escola; realização de entrevistas individuais com as 5 professoras das classes regulares, com a professora da classe da recuperação, com a coordenadora e com os 8 alunos de 3º e 4º anos escolares; questionários aplicados aos familiares dos alunos e visitas à escola para observações e análise dos cadernos de alunos. Os dados foram coletados no ano de 2009, mapeados e analisados em dois eixos abrangendo os seguintes elementos de análise: Condições iniciais, dificuldades e lacunas dos alunos encaminhados para o processo de recuperação (Eixo 1); Melhorias e condições favoráveis resultantes do processo de recuperação (Eixo 2).

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the academic performance of students in the 3rd and 4th grade in remedial situation and its relations with the conditions of a public school for elementary education in Bauru/SP. We attempted to discover how the mentioned school organized the didactic and pedagogic work how it developed remedial school actions for students with learning gaps and what parameters and standard were established to consider the students effectively recovered. The central hypothesis of the study was that the achievement of students in remedial school does not simply follow the systematic coordination work, from the level of commitment of the recovery teacher and support of family, but specially with the demands of school in considering them effectively recovered, in other words, even if advances occur, they will not exceed the elementary levels if the most basic level of the school demand is low and the students themselves are regarded as the evaluation parameter. It is empirically based research, qualitative study with methodological procedures that involved analysis of school documents, varied; individual interviews with five teachers of regular grades, with the teacher of the recovery class, with the coordinator and with 8 students, 3rd and 4th grade; questionnaires to the families of students and school visits for observations and analysis of students notebooks. Data were collected in 2009, mapped and organized in boards, graphs, figures and analyzed in two axes including the following elements of analysis: Initial conditions, difficulties and gaps of the students referred to the recovery process (Axis 1); Improvements and conditions resulting from the recovery process (Axis 2). The results gotten confirmed the hypothesis as they demonstrate that the improvements presented by the students... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between identity and differential academic performance in a cohort of preprimary teachers-in-training. The study draws on indepth interviews with, and detailed observations of, nineteen students and five of their lecturers at a college of education in Cape Town in the late 1990s. Through an analysis of the narratives of academic performance of these students, this work argues that students constructed narratives of academic performance framed by their expectations of what they considered possible for people of their particular identity. Thus as a consequence, students who shared common identities and social locations tended to share common narrative threads. This was most evident in the way in which three broad narrative perspectives emerged - framed by shared social locations of race, class, and gender, and common understandings of religion and cognitive ability. However, within each broad grouping .individual agency nuanced how each student interpreted his or her personal history and particular social locations through the discourses to which he or she had access. This work presents a. challenge to the dominant metaphor of reproduction in the field of educational studies. It is clear from analysis of the students' narratives that as active agents they were not unproblematically reproduced by the teacher college as classed, raced, and gendered subjects. Rather, they produced themselves within existing, and often potentially contradictory, material and discursive contexts. In explaining differential academic performance, this work examines the way in which narrative understandings introduce people into particular ways of life through their authorial voice and legitimating functions. More specifically, it explains how subjective narratives of academic performance introduce students into particular social actions that result in 'objective' differential academic performance as recorded on year-end mark schedules. However, in selecting narrative analysis as a conceptual framework for the work, it has been possible to motivate for an explanation that goes beyond an analysis of academic achievement and failure. In successive chapters evidence is marshaled to frame an argument that students' narratives shape their social action as agents of history, and are implicated in the distribution of privilege within society. The framing of the research question was premised on the assumption that a relationship exists between educational outcomes and access to life chances. While evidence is presented that signals how subjective narratives of academic performance are 'lived out' as 'objective' academic performance, a linear relationship between marks as academic performance and life chances is raised as problematic. It is argued that rather than merely shaping academic performance, narratives as theories of social reality frame all understandings of the social world including access to socio-economic privilege. It is these understandings that get 'lived out' in the choices that students make about their futures. A significant thread to the argument is the extent to which lecturers are implicated in the narrative understandings that students construct, and consequently in the unequal distribution of privilege in society. While seeking to explain academic performance, the study comes to the significant conclusion that narrative understandings, rather than academic performance, are implicated in the distribution of privilege in society.

Nowadays, people tend to place a high value on design, studying in school of design becomes one of the popular choices for students in Taiwan. Since it is expected that there will be more and more fresh design graduates get into the design industry in the future, the way managers bring these new blood’s abilities in to full play with a view to rising performance is an important issue. Through cross-sectional study and Big Five Personality Traits (including Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and Openness), we selected college students studying in industrial design from Taipei as subjects to do research on the relationship between design student's personality, design performance, and group performance. In order to tap into the relationship between personality and group performance, researchers divided subjects into several teams based on their personalities and asked each team to finish few tasks, then found the most efficient team and the counterpart. On the other hand, recording subjects’ academic performances for one year facilitated researchers to understand students with different personalities’ design performances. The result indicated that: (1) the corporation between different personalities had something to do with performance. For instance, Extraversion has the best leadership than other four personalities; (2) Based on the test, the performances may decline when there were too much Extraversion who was considered as perfect leaders in the same team or lack of Agreeableness who was believed being sophisticate enough to corporate well with others; (3) Neuroticism may lower the team performance when working with other personalities except for team members who were also Neuroticism; (4) When it comes to final academic performance, Extraversion design students did better job than others; (5) Extraversion and Agreeableness made more progress on their performances; (6) Conscientiousness was drastically fewer than other four types of personalities in design industry which was worth researching on.

The purposes of this study are to explore the learning performance on geometry and the causes and difficulties during learning geometry in elementary mathematics. The study analyzes the horizontal relationships of the concepts of the geometry units during the learning period. The researcher used survey as a major research design, also the method of interviewing was used in the study. The instrument was developed based on the following points of students’ abilities during their learning : “ a triangle interior angle is 180 degree”,” the length of any two sides together in a triangle is greater than the third side”, “ line symmetry”, “ basic components to recognize simple solid shape”, “volume equation”, “and horizontal-vertical relationships of solid shape”. There were 95 fifth grade elementary students participating in the study. They were conducted to receive 17 items test that include the concepts of geometry in fifth grade textbooks. The important findings of this research are as following: 1. Eighty percents of fifth grade elementary students after geometry concept learning could achieve the teaching objective of the Nine Year Curriculum by grade in detail. 2. The concepts of “line symmetric graph” and “the total interior angle of triangle is 180 degree” got higher passing rate; however, “the length of any two sides together in a triangle is greater than the third side.” and “surfaces relationships between cube and cuboids” had worse performance. 3. Students could use equation of cuboids and cube to solve questions. Some of them can just use equations stereotyped and hardly understand the forming concept of volume equation. 4. Nine-year curriculum Guidelines in geometry learning for 5th grade mathematical field has possessed concepts-learning sequence. 5. Use of physical teaching aids and instruments could help students to catch geometry concepts. 6. Using life examples to prove these are tight relationships between mathematical learning and daily life.

Purpose: Mathematics is considered one of the key subjects in school. Having basic knowledge and skills of math, students can not only solve daily life problems but also develop logical thinking ability. However, in traditional teacher-centered teaching environment, most teachers failed to provide a suitable and appropriate teaching method to help students learn math. Many foreign scholars have proposed that incorporating technology into teaching could help improve students’ learning effects. Based on this rationale, this study aimed to investigate (a) the overall differences between math performance of digital-learning class and traditional-lectured class; (b) the individual differences between high- and low-achievers’ math performance after they received digital-learning and traditional-lectured instruction. It is hoped that the findings of this study could provide teachers a plausible teaching strategy. Method: The subjects were recruited from a vocational high school in Kaohsiung where the researcher taught. Two classes were chosen as the experimental and the control groups to participate in this 20-week-long study. Results: (a) The difference between the experimental group, which received digital-learning instruction, and the control group, which received traditional-lectured instruction did not reach the significance level in statistics. However, the experimental group’s average score was 10 points higher than that of the control group. Moreover, both groups’ post-test scores were higher than their pre-test scores. (b) As to individual performance, the low-, mid-, and high-level students in the experimental group scored significantly higher in the post-test than in the pre-test. In the control group, however, there was no significant difference between low-, mid-, and high-level students’ post-test scores and their pre-test scores. Conclusion: The study showed that compared to traditional-lectured instruction, digital-learning instruction is more effective in the way that it improves students’ math knowledge and skills and benefits students’ learning performance. Therefore, more studies can be done by the following researchers to build a profounder digital-learning system and to integrate it with the digital materials in math class.
