The purpose of this work was to analyze the specific relationship between parental involvement, dimensions of student self-concept and achievement. 503 students of Secondary Education (ESO) and the first year of Baccalaureate course participated in the study. Data were collected using two questionnaires (Family Involvement Questionnaire and Self-Concept Scale for Adolescents) and academic achievement scores. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and paths analysis. The results obtained suggest a significant relationship between the dimensions of perceived family involvement and the dimensions of self-concept (except for parents' praise behaviors). What's more, the relationship between perceived family involvement and achievement is partially mediated by the academic self-concept.

Kajian ini bertujuan melihat sejauhmana gaya kepimpinan ibu bapa menjadi moderator kepada hubungan antara konsep kendiri dengan pencapaian akademik remaja. Untuk mencapai objektif kajian ini, seramai 687 orang remaja yang belajar di tingkatan empat dan lima dari beberapa sekolah menengah kebangsaan di Johor Bahru dipilih sebagai subjek kajian. Instrumen Tennessee Self–Concept Scale yang dibina oleh Fitts dan Indeks Topologi Amalan Didikan oleh Baumrind digunakan untuk tujuan pengumpulan data. Data pencapaian akademik diambil dari peperiksaan akhir. Data yang telah terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif kecenderungan memusat untuk menganalisis latar belakang subjek kajian. Analisis kesan pemboleh ubah moderator ke atas hubungan pemboleh ubah bebas dengan pemboleh ubah terikat telah dilakukan menggunakan statistik infrensi regresi pelbagai. Keputusan kajian yang diperolehi menunjukkan gaya kepimpinan authoritarian dan autoritatif ibu bapa didapati hanya bertindak sebagai pengamal secara signifikan kepada hubungan antara konsep kendiri dan pencapaian akademik golongan remaja. Hubungan antara konsep kendiri dengan pencapaian akademik golongan remaja didapati bersyarat kepada gaya kepimpinan permisif ibu bapa.

O objetivo do estudo foi revisar sistematicamente as pesquisas que analisaram a relação do autoconceito com o rendimento acadêmico de adolescentes do ensino médio, bem como verificar quais variáveis e contextos dentro da escola foram abordados em conjunto ao autoconceito, para melhor explicar essa relação. A revisão incluiu estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos nas bases eletrônicas de trabalhos científicos: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO e Web of Science. Foram utilizados os descritores caracterizando componentes do autoconceito (self, self-concept e self-psychology) com os descritores relacionados ao rendimento acadêmico, em que também se considerou a capacidade acadêmica percebida (academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception, self-efficacy). Dez estudos foram incluídos na revisão. A relação entre autoconceito e desempenho acadêmico mostrou-se consistente e se confirmou em nove dos 10 trabalhos. Outras variáveis também se apresentaram importantes na explicação do desfecho do rendimento acadêmico, tais como a motivação acadêmica, a prática de atividades extracurriculares, a autoeficácia acadêmica e o envolvimento dos pais.Palavras-chave:Estudantes; Psicologia do self; Adolescente; Avaliação do rendimento ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to systematically review the studies that analyzed the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement in high school students, as well as to verify which variables and contexts within the school were approached together with self-concept, to better explain this relationship. The review included studies published in the last ten years in the scientific electronic databases: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO and Web of Science. The descriptors that characterized the components of self-concept used were those of self, self-concept and self-psychology, and the descriptors related to academic achievement, academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception and self-efficacy. Ten studies were included in the review. The relationship between self-concept and academic performance was consistent and confirmed in nine of the ten papers. Other variables that were important in explaining the academic achievement were academic motivation, the practice of extracurricular activities, academic self-efficacy and parental involvement.Keywords:Students; Self-psychology; Adolescent; Performance assessment

This study examined the affective variables, namely study habits and academic self concept to determine if they are correlated and have an impact on adolescents’ academic achievement. Subjects comprised 480 randomly selected students of class XIIth of the 10+2 schools in Darbhanga town (Bihar). They were asked to complete Study Habit Inventory by Dr. M. Mukhopadhyay & Dr. D. N. Sansanwal (2002) and Academic Self Concept Scale (ASCS) by Reynolds et al. (1980) in normal classroom situation. Statistical analyses were performed to ascertain the relationship between affective variables & academic achievement and their effects on academic achievement of adolescents (both rural and Urban). Findings of the study revealed that (1) there is a significant positive correlation between study habits, academic self concept and academic achievement and (2) there is a significant difference between boys and girls( both rural and urban) on the variables, study habits, academic self concept and academic achievement. It was recommended that similar research with appropriate methodology and design may be used to ascertain the degree of conformity which this research has on the above said variables.

To determine the relationship between college students' academic self-concept and academic achievement, Brookover's Self-concept of Ability Scale was administered to 100 undergraduate students in psychology. High moderate correlations were obtained between academic self-concept and over-all grade-point average (.58), but the correlation between academic self-concept and a final examination, although significant, was relatively low (.26).
