Engagement And Disengagement

AbstractPrior research has investigated parental behavior and students’ motivation separately as predictors of adolescents’ academic achievement. The current study jointly examined the associations between parental behavior, adolescents’ motivation, and academic achievement. Using data collected from participants in youth programs (N = 220), we investigated whether students’ academic goal engagement and disengagement mediates the association between adolescents’ relationships with their parents and their academic achievement. Findings from regression-based mediation models indicated that adolescents’ perceived maternal support was positively associated with their academic achievement, and that this association was mediated by students’ engagement with academic goals. Perceived maternal psychological control was negatively associated with students’ academic success, mediated by students’ academic goal disengagement. Supplementary analyses examining components of perceived parental support and psychological control showed that maternal warmth may be most beneficial for adolescents’ academic success, whereas maternal devaluation may be most detrimental. Perceived paternal psychological control was only associated with lower academic achievement, but was not related to adolescents’ goal disengagement.

La reciente regulación legal y social de la infancia y la adolescencia en situación de riesgo en España hace que sea necesario la generación de un cuerpo de investigación que desde el ámbito de la educación fomente factores protectores y favorezca el bienestar de los menores, ya que a pesar de la heterogeneidad que caracteriza a esta población, el fomento de su éxito educativo será sin duda la mejor medida preventiva de la situación de riesgo. La muestra fue de 232 estudiantes declarados en situación de riesgo, con bajo (115 estudiantes) y buen rendimiento académico (117 estudiantes) escolarizados en Educación Secundaria, de los que se recogió información sobre variables personales y sociofamiliares que guardan relación con el rendimiento. En relación a las variables personales, los resultados mostraron que los alumnos que tienen un buen rendimiento académico se caracterizan por tener mayores puntuaciones en sus metas académicas, atribuyen su éxito académico a su propia capacidad y esfuerzo y perciben un mayor apoyo familiar afectivo de su familia. Respecto a las variables familiares, se encontró que los alumnos que tienen un buen rendimiento se caracterizan por tener un mayor porcentaje de padres con titulación universitaria, padres y madres que trabajan como funcionarios y madres que esperan que su hijo o hija alcance una titulación universitaria. Como conclusión se confirma la importancia del trabajo conjunto desde los ámbitos educativo y social para prevenir el fracaso escolar. The recent legal and social regulation of childhood and adolescence at risk in Spain makes it necessary to create a body of research that encourages, from the field of education, protective factors and promotes the wellbeing of children, because despite of the heterogeneity that characterizes this population, the promotion of educational success will undoubtedly be the best preventive measure of the risk situation. The sample was of 232 students declared at risk, with students of low (115) and good academic achievement (117) enrolled in Secondary Education, of which we collected information about personal and family variables that are related to achievement. Regarding the personal variables, results showed that students that have a good academic achievement are characterized by higher scores in their academic goals, they attribute their academic success to their own capacity and effort and they perceive a greater affective family support from their family. Regarding family variables, we found that students with good academic achievement have a higher percentage of parents with a university degree, parents who work in the public sector and mothers who expect that their son or daughterwill achieve a university degree. In conclusion, the importance of working together from the educational and social levels to prevent school failure is confirmed.

The Relationship

Research has suggested that the relationship between previous academic achievement and student variables is mediated by parent and teacher expectations of the child’s ability and future success. The goal of this study was to analyze the mediating role of teachers’ expectations and teachers’ perceptions of parents’ expectations between previous academic achievement and variables in students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) that are significant for school learning. The participants were 230 students with SLD from Spain, aged between 10 and 14 years. Extrinsic variables influenced the students’ intrinsic variables even more than the students’ own experiences of academic success or failure. The way in which teachers in the child’s academic life respond to prior results and the expectations they form can affect their instruction, and ultimately the children’s motivation, involvement, and persistence in learning.

"Background: An important predictor of adolescents’ developmental outcomes is a model of family education, described in terms of parental behaviors. Various parental behaviors were strongly associated with increasing risk of deviant behaviors at school. Methods: The study was conducted on 566 adolescents, comprising 280 males (49.5%) and 286 females (50.5%), of grade 11th and 12th, of age rang 16-17 years from different government colleges in Vietnam. There were 2 self-reported scales to be used: Parental behavior scale; Adolescent deviant behaviors; Data was analyzed by using reliability analysis to examine the psychometric properties of the scales. Results: There was a strong, negative correlation between school deviant behaviors in adolescents and the parental support model (with rfather =-.53, rmother =-.61, p-value <.01); a strong, positive correlation between the school deviant behaviors and the parental psychological control model (with rmother =.45 and rfather =.47, p-value<.01). Conclusions: In family education, positive behaviors used by parents such as supportive, warmth and moderate control would have a positive impact on the adolescent’s behavioral development; conversely, parents’ psychological control would negatively affect and give rise to deviant behaviors among adolescents."

Introduction: During this epidemic, a problem in fundamental education affecting all globe is occurring, and we note that education and learning were online and conducted in students. Academic performance of students must be forecast, so that the instructor may better identify the missing pupils and offer teachers a proactive opportunity to develop additional resources for the student to maximize their chances of graduation. Students' academic achievement in higher learning (EH) has been extensively studied in addressing academic inadequacies, rising drop-out rates, graduation delays, and other difficult questions. Simply said, the performance of students refers to the amount to which short and long-term educational objectives are met. Academics nonetheless judge student achievement from different viewpoints, from grades, average grade points (GPAs) to prospective jobs. The literature encompasses numerous computing attempts to improve student performance in schools and colleges, primarily through data mining and analysis learning. However, the efficiency of current smart techniques and models is still unanimous. Method: This study employs multiple methods for machine learning to forecast student progress. With its accurate data sample prediction, five integrated classification algorithms have been created to forecast students' academic success (support vectors, decision-making trees algorithm and perceptron algorithm, logistic regression algorithm and a random forest algorithm). Results: Students' academic achievement has been reviewed and assessed. The performance of five learning machines mentioned in Section 4 is discussed here. First, we displayed the data after pre-processing by simply displaying distributions to form the data packet and then evaluated 5 important learning methods and described the variables in the data set. The entire series of 480 characteristics were examined.

As a causal attribution, attributing academic success to giftedness might influence students’ academic achievement. According to previous studies, students’ self-regulated learning and negative learning emotions may mediate the association between achievement attribution and academic achievement. Therefore, the present study employed structural equation modeling to examine the association between attributing academic success to giftedness and academic achievement among elementary and secondary students, and included students’ negative learning emotions and self-regulated learning as mediators. The 2018 data from China Family Panel Studies were included in the present study for analysis. Results showed that the full mediation models had satisfactory model fits. After controlling the effects of the covariates, attributing academic success to giftedness had a positive indirect association with their academic achievement, through the mediation of self-regulated learning and negative learning emotions. Based on these findings, possible explanations and suggestions for practices and future research are discussed.

Purpose This article introduces the Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools Forum: Morphological Awareness as a Key Factor in Language-Literacy Success for Academic Achievement. The goal of this forum is to relate the influence morphological awareness (MA) has on overall language and literacy development with morphology acting as the “binding agent” between orthography, phonology, and semantics ( Perfetti, 2007 ) in assessment and intervention for school-aged children. Method This introduction provides a foundation for MA development and explores the influence MA has over the course of school-aged language and literacy development. Through summaries of the 11 articles in this forum, school-based speech-language pathologists will be able to convey the importance of MA to promote successful educational outcomes for kindergarten to adolescent students. The forum explores researcher-developed assessments used to help identify MA skill level in first- through eighth-grade students at risk for literacy failure to support instructional needs. The forum also provides school-based speech-language pathologists with details to design and implement MA interventions to support academic success for school-aged students with varying speech-language needs (e.g., dual language emersion, vocabulary development, reading comprehension) using various service delivery models (e.g., small group, classroom-based, intensive summer camps). Conclusion MA is effective in facilitating language and literacy development and as such can be an ideally focused on using multilinguistic approaches for assessment and intervention. The articles in this issue highlight the importance in assessment measures and intervention approaches that focus on students' MA to improve overall academic success in children of all ages and abilities.

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.
