Current Scenario

The current scenario revealed that many universities, both public and private, are taking various initiatives in improving the quality of academic programs offered. This is because, excellence in academic achievement is one of the determining factors for the graduate employability. However, psychological factors such as self -concept are still under -emphasized as an important aspect in determining academic achievement. Therefore, this study aims to look at the relationship between self -concept and academic achievement of students in Institutions of higher learning. The study uses a survey method in which subjects were selected through simple random sampling involving 160 students (n = 160). Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the level of academic achievement and the level of self -concept of the subject in the form of percentage as well as frequency. Meanwhile, regression analysis was used to see the influence of self-concept factors on academic achievement. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows; (i) the majority of subjects had academic achievement at the honors level (51.9%) (ii) the majority of subjects had a moderate level of self -concept (61.3%); and (iii) the self -concept factor which contribute to the highest percentage of changes in academic achievement is the construct of personal self -concept (17.1 percent). In conclusion, this study successfully proves that self-concept has a significant relationship with students' academic achievement and there are self-concept factors that contribute to academic achievement. Implications and recommendations for future studies are also discussed in this study.

Do Aboriginal Pupils have Negative Self-Concepts?

Experience Difficulty

In this article I would like to question one of the explanations offered to help account for the relatively low academic achievement of Aboriginal pupils, namely that they are handicapped by negative self-concepts. The connection between self-concept and school success itself seems plausible enough. For instance, students with negative self-concepts may tend to adopt low occupational horizons which, in turn, can undermine one type of motivation for academic achievement. Similarly, if pupils perceive schooling as a race then lack of self-confidence could lead them to take the attitude, “Why bother, I’m not good enough to win a place to university anyway.” Moreover, as Jackson (1960) points out, classrooms are very judgmental places where the behaviour and work of children is constantly evaluated by teachers and peers. As a result in many learning situations the student “is risking error, judgment, disapproval, censure, rejection and, in extreme cases, even punishment” (Canfield and Wells, 1976:7). If insecure and defensive, pupils may find such an atmosphere very threatening and consequently be inhibited by a fear of failure. Also, it may be suggested, unless children are self-sufficient they may experience difficulty coping with cold, distant, formal teacher-pupil relationships.What is more open to dispute, however, is whether or not Aboriginal children have negative self-concepts. Fanshawe (1976) observes that there is insufficient experimental data to enable this issue to be resolved conclusively on empirical grounds. And within the literature on the education of socially disadvantaged children there are opposing views that can be related to differences in ideology.

Background: Flourishing is a psychological construct that refers to the type of living together with permanent happiness in human functions. Individuals with high levels of flourishing are aware of their abilities, keen on progress, and considered beneficial community members. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the flourishing status and its association with academic achievement in the students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 295 students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The students were selected via simple random sampling with proportional probability to size. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation-coefficient at the significance of 95%. Results: The mean age of the students was 22.92 ± 2.47 years (range: 18 - 30 years). The mean score of flourishing was 39.93 ± 8.73 (score range: 8 - 56), which indicated that the participants received 71.3% of the maximum score of flourishing. In addition, the score of flourishing was significantly higher in the female students compared to the males (P = 0.046) and had a positive, significant correlation with academic achievement (r = 0.197; P = 0.002). Conclusions: Considering the more favorable status of flourishing in the female students, it is recommended that educational programs be developed and implemented for the promotion of flourishing by focusing on male students.
