Academic self-concept and possible selves of high-ability African American males attending a specialized school for gifted and talented high school students.Frazier, Andrea D. January 2009 (has links)
This study has looked at the temporal and multidimensional self in high-ability African American males attending a specialized school for high-ability youth. Interviews were conducted with 9 students. Results provided details about the hoped-for and feared selves the young men envisioned as well as the strategies these youth utilized to realize and avoid these possibilities for their future. The interviews also demonstrated the impact of family, the specialized school’s culture, their neighborhoods, and racism on the possibilities the young men envisioned for themselves. Interrelationships between the attempt to attain possible selves, academic self-concept, socioeconomic status, race, and year in school were assessed via a path model with data from 253 high-ability male students attending the specialized school. The nature of the relationships amongst the variables revealed that older students better able to attain or avoid possible selves had higher academic self-concepts. Higher academic self-concepts resulted in higher grades and SAT scores. / Department of Educational Psychology

The influence of pupil's perceptions on their academic achievementChetty, Praveena 11 1900 (has links)
The aim of this investigation is to determine the influence of pupils' perception
on their academic achievement. The literature review indicated that sensation
and perception are separate but unitary processes. It was also discovered that
academic achievement is influenced by the perception of several factors
pertaining both to the pupil himself as well as those responsible for his
academic growth. There was conclusive evidence from both the literature and
empirical investigation that perception influences academic achievement. Results
from the empirical study confirm that pupils with negative perceptions achieve
poor academic results and those with positive perceptions achieve good academic
results. It has also been found that there is no difference in the overall
perceptions of pupils in standards 6,7,8,9 and 10. There was a significant
difference in the perceptions of boys and girls, with girls having more positive
perceptions than boys. An attempt to change the negative perceptions of
pupils to positive perceptions will inevitably result in an improvement in
academic achievement. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Determining the relationship between the body image of adolescent girls and their academic achievement, social involvement and sport participation : a pilot studyMostert, Petronella Louisa January 1995 (has links)
Ever since the earliest times much emphasis has been placed on the physical appearance of women. Particularly in western cultures idealized images of perfection are constantly promoted and the message that comes across in various media outlets is that a woman ought to have a 'perfect' appearance in order to be competent and desirable. This puts a great deal of stress on women and particularly on adolescent girls who are going through a phase of increased sensitivity about their appearance. The literature suggests that people, and women in particular, are fundamentally affected by the way they view their bodies. The body image furthermore has a strong relationship with the self concept, which affects other areas of a person's life such as her academic achievement and her social 'life. Against this background an attempt was made in this study to determine the relationship between the body image of adolescent girls and their academic achievement, their sport participation and their social involvement. The subjects were 180 girls drawn from two rural secondary schools. The survey involved the completion of two questionnaires, namely an adapted form of the Physical Self Subscale of the Tenessee Self Concept Scale (used to determine a score for body image) and a questionnaire on social involvement and sport participation, which was drawn up by the researcher. Biographic data as well as academic scores were gathered from school records. Data was analysed statistically by means of the BMDP Software Version 1990: programme (Sun Unix). Pearson's chi square tests of independence, as well as a one-way analysis of variance with co-variate were carried out. The results reveal that the body image and academic achievement of this group of girls are not significantly correlated. There are, however, significant correlations between the body image and social involvement of these girls, between their body image and sport participation, as well as between their social involvement and sport participation. iv These findings have important implications for"'e"ducation and consideration is given to addressing these issues in schools.
