Academic Delay Of Gratification

Most of the research on academic delay of gratification, a vital academic variable, is available in foreign context. Research studies on this construct on Indian students at secondary, higher secondary and tertiary levels and a subsequent body of its literature are warranted. This is call for an awareness of the already available edifice of research work on this construct. The present study is a narrative review of the available literature on academic delay of gratification in a chronological manner. Electronic databases like Mandeley, Pub Med, ERIC and Google Scholar were used as data sources. Literature in the form of research articles and review articles were searched. The works with the exact keyword in their title were selected for study, and the literature on related keywords was strictly ignored, except a few seminal papers on a closely related variable, delay of gratification. The literature review included research articles starting from the first published work that linked the variable delay of gratification to enhanced academic performance by Walter Mischel et al. in 1990 to the latest research work done in 2016 by the researcher. Qualitative analysis was done on the selected articles for review. The study found that most of the research on this variable was conducted only on college students, followed by secondary school, middle school, higher secondary school and elementary school students as samples, respectively. The Indian version of the original ADOG scale is not available yet. These findings can pave way for further research on academic delay of gratification in India.

The Relationship

The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between delay of gratification in academics and emotional intelligence. Sample for the study includes 50 urban students (30 boys and 20 girls) of class IX of a secondary school in New Nagole, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring delay of gratification is collected using <italic>Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS)</italic> for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty (1997). Emotional intelligence is measured by collecting data using the <italic>Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire</italic> – <italic>Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF)</italic>, prepared by Petrides, K. V. & Furnham, A. (2006) for adolescents. For data analysis, Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation coefficient is used. The significance of the test is calculated using critical value table for Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation for the level of significance α at 0.05. The findings of the study reveal positive but weak relationship between delay of gratification in academics and emotional intelligence. No role of gender is found on the examined variables.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between academic delay of gratification and dispositional orientation variables. Sample for the study includes 60urban students (30 boys and 30 girls) of class XI of a junior college in S.R. Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring delay of gratification is collected using Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by HeferBembenutty (1997). Dispositional optimism of the students is measured by collecting data using theRevised Life Orientation Test Scale (LOT-R) for college students prepared by Scheier, Carver and Bridges (1994). For data analysis, Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation coefficient and Point-biserial correlation coefficients are calculated using SPSS ver.20. The significance of the test is calculated for the level of significance ? at 0.01. The findings of the study reveal positive andmoderatelystrong relationship between academic delay of gratificationand dispositional optimism. Boys are found to possess significantly less academic delay of gratification when compared to girls.No role of gender is found on the variable dispositional optimism.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

This study was aimed at investigating the relationships of academic delay of gratification to motivational determinants, academic achievement, and study hours. The sample of the study included 200 Omani high school students. A path analysis showed that motivational determinants were positively related to academic delay of gratification which in turn was positive-ly related to academic achievement and study hours. A mediational analysis showed that academic delay of gratification mediated the relationships among motivational determinants and academic achievement and study hours. There were significant gender differences in academic delay of gratification which favored females.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to conduct factor analysis of the Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students, with 10 items, prepared by Bembenutty and Karabenick (1998), on Indian professional courses students. 461 students (256 boys and 205 girls) from engineering, pharmacy, law and education professional courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Hyderabad, voluntarily participated in the study, out of which 336 students (190 boys and 146 girls) were part of exploratory factor analysis. With the help of SPSS Statistics Ver.23, Principal Axis Factor extraction method and Varimax rotation, two factors were extracted. Monte Carlo PCA Parallel Analysis was used to settle for one factor explaining 16% variance. The reliability of the instrument using Cronbach’s Alpha was found to be 0.715. SPSS Amos Ver. 23 was used to confirm the factor structure and establish within-network construct validity of the instrument using Fit index tests like Chi test p value, DF, CMIN/DF, TLI, CFI, IFI, NFI,RMR and RMSEA from the data of 125 students (66 boys and 59 girls), followed by between network validity based on construct validation approach using Pearson’s product moment correlation the data of 136 students (100 boys and 36 girls) measuring their academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence. There were sufficient evidences to establish that this instrument in its present form can be administered on Indian urban students for the measurement of academic delay of gratification.

A university degree is not enough in itself to equip a mathematics teacher for successful secondary school-teaching in the longer term. Without continuous training and career-long learning, a teacher will not be able to provide adequate support for students in activities such as extended essays or explorations, both of which are compulsory components of the IB programme. In this paper, we present some examples of such work by IB students at our school. In addition, some Slovenian secondary school students regularly participate in a national research competition for which they must submit project-based work in various fields. The present article describes how university departments co-operated with our secondary school in the course of such research. Examples of research carried out by a number of 16-year-old students at our school are also presented here.
