Underachievement in schools : an ecosystemic approach

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)
