The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a program based on strengthening self-concept using Braille Sense technology in improving the adjustment behavior and academic achievement of blind students integrated in the first grade of secondary school. The quasi-experimental approach was adopted and the study tools consisted of the Self-Concept Scale for the Blind and the adjustment Behavior Scale for the Blind, As well as the training program, the study tools were applied to a sample of (32) blind students in the first grade of secondary school in the United Arab Emirates, as a pre-measurement, and the sample was divided based on the calculation of the fourths, where the first quadrant represents eight blind low-grade students in self-concept and consensual behavior based on that Qualitative analysis that shows the difference in dimensions in terms of decrease and height on the self-concept scale, so that the first quadrant group (8) represents blind students who are the exploratory sample through which the validity of the study hypotheses will be verified.. The results of the study showed the following, the existence of statistically significant differences between the performance of the intervention group in the pre-, post- and tracer measurements in terms of adjustment behavior and its various dimensions in favor of the post-measurement, and the existence of statistically significant differences between the performance of the intervention group in the pre-, post- and tracer-measurements in terms of academic achievement in favor of the post-measurement.

Economics is one of the popular subjects in the Senior Secondary School (SSS) curriculum, and it covers the fundamental aspects of human lives concerning scarcity of resources. Proper understanding of the basic concept will enable students to realize the benefit of the subject. This study examined the effects of the self-concept transformation package on senior secondary school student's academic achievement in the quantitative aspect of Economics in Central Zone, Plateau State, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental research design, the non-equivalent control- group design, was used for this study. The sample size consisted of 105 economics SS2 students from intact classes of the four sampled schools. There were 50 and 55 students in the experimental and control group, respectively. Multi-Stage Cluster sampling techniques were used for this study. The instruments used for data collection were the Multi-dimensional Self-Concept Scales (MSS) and Quantitative Economics Achievement Test (QEAT). Research questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the t-test of independent sample and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used for the analysis. The results show that the self-concept transformation package positively and significantly affected students' self-concept and academic achievement in quantitative economics. The study recommended that the use of abusive words on students by Parents and guardians should be discouraged to strengthening their student's self-concept.

The sample of the study consisted of seven hundred and twenty (720) SS II students. The study research questions were analyzed using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, while the hypotheses were tested using regression analysis at 0.05 probability level. RESULTS: The findings revealed a strong positive relationship among family structure, self-concept and academic achievement of secondary schools students. It also revealed that family leadership style like Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive and Neglectful family leadership style had a strong relationship on secondary school students, self-concept and academic achievement.

Cognitive And Metacognitive Strategies

The relationship between motivation and the use of learning strategies is a focus of research in order to improve students’ learning. Meaningful learning requires a learner’s personal commitment to put forth the required effort needed to acquire new knowledge. This commitment involves emotional as well as cognitive and metacognitive factors, and requires the ability to manage different resources at hand, in order to achieve the proposed learning goals. The main objectives in the present study were to analyse: (a) Spanish secondary school students’ motivation and self-perception of using strategies when learning science; (b) the nature of the relationship between motivation and perceived use of learning strategies; (c) the influence of different motivational, cognitive, metacognitive and management strategies on students’ science achievement. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was administered to 364 middle and high-school students in grades 7–11. For each participant, the academic achievement was provided by the respective science teacher. The results obtained from the Pearson product-moment correlations between the study variables and a stepwise regression analysis suggested that: (1) motivation, cognitive and metacognitive, and resource management strategies, have a significant influence on students’ science achievement; (2) students’ motivation acts as a kind of enabling factor for the intellectual effort, which is assessed by the self-perceived use of learning strategies in science; and, (3) motivational components have a greater impact on students’ performance in science than cognitive and metacognitive strategies, with self-efficacy being the variable with the strongest influence. These results suggest a reflexion about the limited impact on science achievement of the self-perceived use of cognitive and metacognitive strategies, and highlight the importance of students’ self-efficacy in science, in line with previous studies.

The research sample is taken from secondary-school students in Dammam, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA); 64 students from two different schools were selected: 32 as a control and 32 as an experimental group. The research instruments consist of an achievement test, a test to see how critical-thinking skills are applied to the Fiqh curriculum, and a teachers’ guide to teaching the Fiqh curriculum, using the self-questioning strategy. The study recommends the use of the self-questioning strategy when teaching the Fiqh curriculum to secondary-school students. It also highlights the need to raise teachers’ awareness of the importance of teaching critical-thinking skills. Considering the research results and recommendations, the researchers recommend several further avenues of research related to the current research variables.
