Self-concept, interest, learning motivation, and prerequisite knowledge potentially contributes to academic achievement. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-concept, interest in becoming a teacher, academic achievement of prerequisite courses and prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching. This correlational study involved 105 sixth semester students of science department in Education and Teacher Training Faculty (FKIP) of Pontianak, Tanjungpura University. The data collected by using the self- concept questionnaire and the questionnaire of interest in becoming a teacher. The achievement of prerequisite courses and the students’ competencies of microteaching taken from the academic subdivision of the faculty. The analysis found that self-concept, interest in becoming a teacher, and academic achievement in prerequisite courses associate significantly with prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching (respectively <em>r<sub>s</sub></em> = .35, <em>r<sub>s</sub> </em>= .38, and <em>r</em><sub>s </sub>= .60, <em>p</em> &lt; .05). In addition, coefficient of multiple correlation is also significant (<em>R</em> = .61, p &lt; .05). It means that the relative contribution of predictor variables of this study on prospective teachers’ competencies of microteaching is 37.60% and the remaining 62.40% is determined by other uninvestigated variables. The study indicated that the prerequisite courses relate significantly with students’ ability to execute microteaching. Thus, an institution of teacher training should continually upgrade the quality of learning and instruction by providing the essential prerequisite content of courses the prospective teachers required.

(1) Background: Academic engagement has been reported in the literature as an important factor in the academic achievement of university students. Other factors such as emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience have also been related to students’ performance and quality of life. The present study has two clearly delimited and interrelated objectives. First, to study the mediational role that engagement plays in the relationship between EI and resilience on quality of life. Secondly, and similarly, to study the mediational role of engagement in the relationship between EI and resilience, but in this case on academic achievement. (2) Methods: For this purpose, four scales frequently used in the literature to measure emotional intelligence, resilience, academic engagement and quality of life were administered to 427 students of the University of Jaén undertaking education degrees. In addition, students were asked to indicate their current average mark as a measure of academic performance. Two mediational models based on structural equations were proposed to analyse the relationships between the proposed variables. (3) Results: The results obtained showed that emotional intelligence and resilience directly predicted students’ life satisfaction, but this direct relationship did not result in academic performance. In addition, and assuming a finding not found so far, engagement was shown to exert an indirect mediational role for both life satisfaction and academic performance of students. (4) Conclusions: The findings of the study support the importance of engagement in the design and development of instructional processes, as well as in the implementation of any initiative.

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.

In an 8-year prospective study conducted on 103 subjects, the developmental sequence of and the factors contributing to a bonded romantic outcome in young adulthood were investigated. The subjects’ self-concepts and their relationships with mothers, fathers, and same-sex friends were assessed at the ages of 13, 15, and 17 years. Having a romantic partner and the quality of relationships with romantic partners were assessed at ages 13, 15, 17, and 21 years. Evidence was found for a developmental sequence in romance with respect to differences in the quality and duration of romantic relationships over time. Factor analysis revealed that at age 21, bonded romantic love emerged as a romantic outcome. Two models of romantic relationship development, varying in complexity, were tested. The results revealed that support from parents, friends, and romantic partners as well as self-concept contributed differently to the prediction of bonded love at age 21. Regression analyses revealed that at age of 13, during the initiation phase, the self-concept contributed significantly to the prediction of bonded love in young adulthood. Similarly, during the affection phase, at age 17, the quality of the relationship with the romantic partner was predictive of bonded love in early adulthood. The results were less clear at age 15, during the status phase. In addition, it was found that the importance of the romantic partner as support provider increased as the relationship developed. Contrary to expectations, peer support was found to be important only during later stages of romantic development.
