Over the years, extensive research has been conducted in the field of underachievement. Many solutions to the problem have been put forward, none of these proposals universally addressing the problem. The present research's aim was to address the problem of underachievement ecosystemically. For this pu~ose, through the process of a series of interviews, information was gathered about the underachieving behaviour of a particula~pc"a'nd his interaction with his teachers and his parents in connection with his behaviour. It was found that the underachieving behaviour could be described as part of a larger interactive pattern, characterised by compliant/noncompliant behaviour on the part of the pupil, and involved/non-involved behaviour on the part of the teachers and parents. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

The subject of creativity is of interest not only to the research worker and educationist but also, with its related mental health aspect, to the clinical psychologist. As the writer's interest is in clinical psychology the opportunity, which occurred in 1968, to undertake research on creativity, was welcomed. This opportunity arose out of a larger piece of research into the relationships between personality variables and mathematical ability in school children. This involved the administration of personality tests and tests of arithmetic and mathematical ability to all the English speaking school children in Grahamstown from Standard 2 to Standard 10. The writer assisted in this testing program and did the greater part of the marking, scoring and entering on computer sheets. Thus personality test scores for over 2,000 children from the age of 8 or 9 to 17 or 18, both boys and girls were available. It was found possible to extend the computer program to calculate a score for creativity based on a combination of Cattell's personality factors and it was decided to compare these creativity scores with actual school performance, as measured by internal school examinations, which with the cooperation and agreement of the Cape Education Department and local schools, the writer was able to obtain.

Thesis (D.Ed.)--University of South Africa, 1993. / The study attempted to find the relation between independent learning and lecturing skills and their relative contribution to student achievement in Economics at technikons. South African tertiary educational institutions have been facing increasing student numbers which place enormous strain on available resources. To accommodate all students in the classroom is highly unlikely, therefore a logical and reasonable mode of learning would be a "self-regulating" or "autonomous" type. The literature survey concentrated on the nature and value of independent learning, while lecturing skills have been discussed on the basis of styles and effectiveness of lecturing and students' expectations thereof. The nature of Economics has been reflected upon on the basis of four key concepts, together with their implications for learning. A competency-based model of Economics has been suggested, with special emphasis on economic literacy. A questionnaire, based on the literature survey, covering the areas of independent learning, lecturing skills and the nature of Economics has been compiled and completed by 645 technikon students. A factor analysis has identified three factors, namely an independent learning ability, lecturing skills and the nature of Economics. High reliability coefficients were obtained for each of the three factors.

The problem with which this dissertation is concerned is to determine whether the semester unit plan offers seventh grade students greater academic gain in the basic subject areas than does the quarter unit plan. Texas offers school districts a choice of the two plans. This study is unique in that the district of this study has both plans in operation at the secondary level.
