The interpretive beliefs, processes, and instructional experiences of 8 ninth-grade students were studied as they participated in instructional subcommunities within their existing English classes. An observational analysis of the instructional communities was undertaken, and the students' interpretive processes were analyzed as intertextual transactions, which include reasoning operations and inference sources. Overall results revealed that students reasoned about literary works at an interpretive level, and that their inferences were largely textual focussing on characters and events, reflecting the type of literary instruction they receive. After participating in an alternative response-centered instructional unit, students were more intertextual in terms of their preferences related to the interpretive process and more interpretive in their reasoning about literary works. The shift in the range of inference sources students drew on—the intertextuality of their transactions—varied by individual. Individual students were profiled to reveal the relationship of beliefs, experiences, and processes that form their critical interpretive stances toward literary works.

The Present investigation was to find out the relationship of home environment with scientific attitude, study habits and emotional maturity of 600 rural and urban- Punjab and Haryana adolescents. Survey method of investigation was employed. The findings of the study showed that insignificant correlation is there between scientific attitude and home environment of rural as well as urban adolescents. Also insignificant correlation was obtained between study habits and home environment of rural as well as urban adolescents. Insignificant correlation was also obtained between emotional maturity and home environment of rural as well as urban adolescents.

Esta contribución busca comprender las dificultades que encuentran 329 estudiantes de sexto de primaria y tercero de secundaria al enfrentar un problema del campo conceptual de las estructuras multiplicativas, la relación de esas dificultades con los sistemas de representación y con los teoremas-en-acto sobre la división. Los resultados muestran que una tercera parte resuelve correctamente el problema, casi la mitad de quienes no lo hacen invierte los datos en la división y esto puede deberse a la idea de que “el número grande siempre es el dividendo y el número pequeño es el divisor”, aunado a que no consideran la factibilidad real de la respuesta dada. Otras dificultades corresponden a la asignación de unidades de longitud a números decimales. AbstractThis contribution seeks to understand the difficulties encountered by 329 students in sixth grade and ninth grade to address a problem of conceptual field of multiplicative structures, the relationship of these difficulties with the systems of representation and theorems-in-action on the division. The results show that one-third correctly resolve the problem, almost half of those who do not, inverting the data in the division and this may be due to the idea that “the big number is always the dividend and the smaller the number divisor”, together they do not consider the actual feasibility of the answer, other difficulties relate to the allocation of units of length to decimal numbers. Recibido: 04 de febrero de 2013Aceptado: 19 de junio de 2013

The variables positively supporting urban student matriculation through high school remain unclear as one moves from one context to another. Furthermore, attributes that positively influence urban ninth grade student matriculation through high school are equally unclear. The purpose of this non- experimental archival data based study was to determine the extent to which emic derived resiliency score correlates to the number of core subjects passed of ninth grade students in one urban Kansas high school. The study found that urban ninth grade students resilience and the number of core subjects passed were weakly correlated, urban however ninth grade student ethnicity did have a significant level of variance in the construct of intelligent planning. These findings suggested that resilience is not a factor when looking at factors that contribute to the number of core subjects passed by urban ninth grade students.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kebiasaan belajar dan motivasi belajar dengan prestasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS di MTs Asy-Syafi’iyah Kendari. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan metode survei. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa MTs Asy-Syafi’iyah Kendari yang berjumlah 156 siswa dengan jumlah sampel adalah 60 siswa. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket dan tes serta dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa: (1) terdapat hubungan positif kebiasaan belajar dengan prestasi belajar IPS siswa MTs Asy-Syafi’iyah Kendari yang ditunjukkan oleh koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,438 dengan nilai signifikan sebesar 0,000 (0,000 < 0,05); (2) terdapat hubungan positif motivasi belajar dengan prestasi belajar IPS siswa MTs Asy-Syafi’iyah Kendari yang ditunjukkan oleh koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,457 dengan nilai signifikan sebesar 0,000 (0,000 < 0,05); (3) terdapat hubungan positif kebiasaan belajar dan motivasi belajar secara bersama-sama dengan prestasi belajar IPS siswa MTs Asy-Syafi’iyah Kendari yang ditunujukkan oleh koefisien korelasi ganda sebesar 0,468 dengan nilai signifikan sebesar 0,001 (0,000 < 0,05) dan nilai kontribusi sebesar 21,9%. Artinya bahwa semakin baik kebiasaan belajar yang dilandasi dengan motivasi tinggi maka semakin baik pula prestasi belajar yang dicapai

The relationship of reading abilities to achievement in mathematics is widely recognized as a topic on which additional basic research should be done. To secure some evidence in this area the present study utilized the scores, on certain standardized tests and on several specially designed tests, of 157 ninth grade general mathematics students and of 162 ninth grade algebra students of three San Diego schools.

Discriminant function analyses were computed from scores compiled in a comprehensive, 32-variable, data bank using grade-point average groups as criteria. Separate constellations of variables predicted academic performance for each group (divided by race and sex). Black males' ( n = 12) and females' ( n = 25) academic performance could not be predicted by standardized tests but was predicted by a study habits inventory. The study habits inventory and the California Short-form Test of Mental Maturity predicted academic success for white males and females ( ns = 62 and 113, respectively). However, for the females it was concluded that the relationship of the student with the teacher was the important determinant of academic success.

The study aims to explore the relationship of study habits with socio-economic status and gender. The research was carried out on a sample of 224 students studying in class IX of Aligarh district. Standardized scales were used to collect the data which in turn was analyzed by applying Mean (M), Standard Deviation (SD), Product moment correlation (r), t-test and ANOVA. Findings revealed that significant difference exists in the study habits of students in relation to gender. Significant and positive relationship exists between study habits and Socio-economic status but interaction effect of gender and SES was not found on study habits. Finally the study puts forth some suggestions to enhance the study habits of secondary school students.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i1.11815      Int. J. Soc. Sci. Manage.
