The empirical research found significant correlations between all cultural factors and academic achievement, particularly in English and at times in mathematics. These correlations were low but positive. The investigation also revealed that diverse age groups did not differ significantly in academic achievement in mathematics or in English. However, females from diverse socio-economic backgrounds differed significantly in their academic achievements. / Psychology of Education / M.Ed.(Psychology of Education) Cultural factors Societal goal expectations Socio-economic status Child-rearing practices Teacher attitudes Curriculum resources Academic achievement Gender role concepts Family role models Self-concepts 370.1523096891 Learning, Psychology of Academic achievement -- Zimbabwe Education, Secondary -- Zimbabwe Teenage girls -- Zimbabwe -- Psychology Educational anthropology -- Zimbabwe
