Academic success and excellence in marks are not only due to the students’ intrinsic abilities or skills. A multitude of contextual variables is involved in the teaching and learning process. This study identifies and analyses the contextual variables that most significantly affect students’ academic performance. We used census data from the ESCALA tests and context questionnaires for the 2016/17 school year, both carried out by the Andalusian Agency for Educational Assessment. Hierarchical Linear Models were used in the data analysis, as they facilitate the control and description of contextual factors. In addition, differences in performance were studied according to the contextual variables that the family dimension encompasses. At all times, a contextualised cross-sectional perspective was considered, taking as a criterion the covariates with significance values lower than 0.01 in the multilevel models and contrast tests. Finally, a list of contextual variables contributing to the explanation of performance is presented. The socio-economic and cultural conditions of families, their expectations towards their children’s education, and their level of involvement in schools have a significant influence on the academic success of primary school students. Academic success is higher among students with families who play an active role and have positive expectations regarding learning.

This study aims to describe the aspirations of elementary school students to continue their education to a higher level and the factors that influence these aspirations. The study was conducted at two elementary schools in the Pandeglang district. Data collection method used is an interview method to describe the perceptions and desires of students continuing education. The respondents were 10 students of grade six, in the 2016/2017 school year. This study concludes that the educational aspirations of the six grade students to continue their studies to the level of SMP/MTs are relatively low due to internal and environmental factors. There are two main factors that influence the family's socioeconomic background, and local cultural traditions. These two factors affect the mindset and preference of parents to send their children to “pesantren” rather than to formal schools (Public Secondari School or Madrasah Tsanawiyah). The aspirations of students to continue their education could be improved by means of a synergistic efforts of school managers, the Office of Education and local informal leaders to broaden parents' horizons and increase parental attention towards children's education for the future. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan aspirasi siswa sekolah dasar untuk  melanjutkan pendidikan  ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi aspirasi tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan pada dua Sekolah Dasar di wilayah Kabupaten Pandeglang. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah metode wawancara untuk  mendeskripsikan persepsi dan keinginan siswa melanjutkan pendidikan. Responden  berjumlah 10 siswa kelas 6 (enam) pada tahun pelajaran 2016/2017. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa aspirasi pendidikan siswa kelas 6 (enam) beberapa Sekolah Dasar di wilayah Kabupaten Pandeglang untuk melanjutkan studi ke jenjang SMP/MTs tergolong rendah disebabkan oleh faktor internal dan lingkungan. Terdapat dua faktor utama yang berpengaruh yaitu latar belakang sosial ekonomi keluarga, dan tradisi budaya setempat. Ke dua faktor ini berpengaruh pada pola pikir dan preferensi orangtua untuk menyekolahkan anaknya ke pondok pesantren daripada ke sekolah formal (SMP/MTs). Aspirasi siswa untuk melanjutkan pendidikan ke SMP/MTs ini dapat ditingkatkan melalui upaya sinergis pengelola sekolah, Kantor Dinas Pendidikan dan pimpinan informal setempat untuk memperluas wawasan orangtua dan meningkatkan perhatian orangtua terhadap pendidikan anak bagi masa depan.

This study was conducted to determine the level of academic quality compliance of public secondary high schools and its predictors as input to strengthen institutional profiling. The respondents of the study were 167 teachers and school managers in (9) public secondary junior high schools in the City Schools Division of San Jose del Monte Bulacan for the School Year 2017-2018. The descriptive research design was used employing the predictive technique in determining the influence of respondents’ profile, institutions’ profile variables and the management capability factors as the academic quality compliance of the schools. The findings revealed that the schools’ academic quality compliance on leadership and governance is predicted by the NAT (Beta = .431), promotion rate (Beta= 1.170), and enrollment rate (Beta = .747).  The management capability on quality instruction predicts the schools’ academic quality compliance on curriculum and learning (Beta = .971) and the academic quality compliance on accountability and continuous improvement is influenced by the management capability on quality instruction. The promotion rate of the school predicts the academic quality compliance of the school in the area of management of resources (Beta =.671). The hypothesis stating that the respondent's profile, institutional profile, and management capability, singly or combination predict the schools' academic quality compliance is partly sustained.

Reported Data

The current study investigated resilience factors influencing the associations between binge drinking and measures of educational participation among Canadian youth. Self-reported data were collected during the 2016/2017 school year from 5238 students in Grades 9 through 12 (2744 females, 2494 males) attending 14 secondary schools in Ontario and British Columbia as part of the COMPASS study. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine relationships between binge drinking, school connectedness and flourishing on measures of educational participation. Binge drinking was associated with increased likelihood of skipping classes, going to class without completing homework, lower Math and English scores, and having educational and/or training expectations and aspirations beyond high school only. Decreased flourishing was linked to increased likelihood of going to class with incomplete homework, lower Math and English scores, and decreased likelihood of aspiring and expecting to achieve education and/or training beyond high school only. Increased school connectedness was associated with decreased likelihood of skipping classes and going to class with incomplete homework, higher Math and English scores, and increased the likelihood of aspiring to and expecting to achieve education and/or training beyond high school only. Lower flourishing was additive in its effect on current binge drinking in negatively impacting class attendance and homework completion and academic performance, while higher school connectedness was compensatory in its effect on these outcomes. This study suggests that, for high school students who are susceptible to binge drinking, those who are more connected to school and have a higher sense of wellbeing can maintain active participation in school and achieve their educational goals.
