Abstract

Many socio-economically disadvantaged students excel in PISA. This publication focuses on students who succeed at school despite a disadvantaged background. The report shows that overcoming barriers to achievement is possible, and provides students, parents, policy makers and other education stakeholders insights into what enables socio-economically disadvantaged students to fulfill their potential. Resilient students are characterized by positive approaches to learning, for example, having more interest in science or having more self-confidence. The evidence in PISA shows that positive approaches to learning tend to boost the performance of advantaged students more than that of disadvantaged ones. From an equity perspective, therefore, policies aimed at fostering positive approaches to learning ought to target disadvantaged students more than others.--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Pourquoi et comment, avec un minimum de capitaux culturels et économiques de départ, de rares élèves connaissent-ils un maximum de réussite scolaire ? S'agit-il d'une affaire de dons ? De psychologie ? De famille ? Dans un style clair et alerte, articulant théorie et recherche empirique, ce livre n'hésite pas à s'aventurer sur de nouveaux sentiers. S'illustrant par un terrain d'enquête rare et original (45 élèves des plus Grandes Écoles françaises issus de « milieux populaires » étudiés à partir d'entretiens), il renouvelle le regard sociologique en mettant au coeur de l'explication le mécanisme de cercle vertueux de la réussite et le concept d'engagement. Plus qu'une histoire de dons et qu'une affaire de famille, ces excellences « atypiques » apparaissent comme la conséquence d'une randonnée vertueuse jalonnée d'éléments structurants et contingents, s'étayant sur des (f)acteurs familiaux et extra-familiaux. En explorant les excellences paradoxales, l'ouvrage s'avère être, en définitive, une contribution importante à la compréhension de la réussite scolaire en général. Au-delà du cercle des sociologues et des spécialistes de l'éducation, il intéressera toutes les personnes préoccupées par les thématiques de la réussite et de l'inégalité des chances à l'école, des élites, des « milieux populaires » et de la mobilité sociale.

Abstract

Der Autor setzt sich empirisch mit der Frage auseinander, welche Rolle soziale Beziehungen zu Eltern und Lehrpersonen für die Lern- und Leistungsmotivation von Kindern und Jugendlichen spielen. Im Zentrum steht insbesondere die Frage nach der längerfristigen Entwicklung der Leistungsmotivation über 20 Jahre hinweg, mitbestimmt durch die im Jugendalter vorherrschende soziale Bindung an die Bezugspersonen und die Leistungsmotivation der Jugendlichen selbst.

Abstract

In geen enkele sector van het sociale leven wordt zoveel tijd en energie geïnvesteerd in evaluatie als in het onderwijs. Daarbij wordt spontaan gedacht aan het beoordelen van leerlingen. Maar ook initiatieven inzake de evaluatie van leraren, scholen en overheden worden steeds talrijker en verscheidener. De vraag rijst of het geheel van al deze verschillende evaluatievormen een bijdrage levert tot de kwaliteit van het onderwijs in Vlaanderen. Om deze vraag te beantwoorden is een overzicht nodig van het bestaande beleid en de heersende praktijk. Voor het eerst wordt alle informatie over het Vlaamse evaluatiebeleid en de evaluatiepraktijk bij elkaar gebracht in één publicatie. Ze handelt zowel over de evaluatie van leerlingen, van leerkrachten en directies, van scholen – door de onderwijsinspectie, maar ook in het kader van zelfevaluatie – als van de overheid. Centraal staat de vraag hoe evaluatie op micro-, meso- en macroniveau kan bijdragen tot kwaliteitsverbetering, gelijkheid en effectiviteit van het onderwijs. Telkens wordt daarbij de bestaande wetgeving bekeken en wordt de actuele praktijk beschreven. Daarnaast bevat de publicatie ook standpunten en reacties van belangrijke actoren. (Bron: flaptekst)

Abstract

This book contributes to our growing understanding of the nature and development of language learner self-concept. It assesses the relevant literature in the disciplines of psychology and applied linguistics and describes in-depth, qualitative research examining the self-concepts of tertiary-level EFL learners. Although researchers in applied linguistics and SLA have recognized the importance of self-constructs, there remains little empirical work in the context of foreign language learning that focuses exclusively and at length on this central psychological construct. The content of this monograph draws on interdisciplinary sources, with input from psychology and applied linguistics. It will appeal to students and researchers interested in language-learner psychology as well as self-related constructs in general. The text provides insights into how learners view themselves, and how these self-beliefs can develop and affect the progress of an individual’s language learning.

Abstract

Research has shown that algebra is the doorway and gateway for future success of students in many aspects, including high school graduation, attending and success in college, and professional earning power. And the most important key to students’ success in algebra is their readiness. This book is not only a program that addresses algebra readiness; it is also a fundamental reform effort, based on the National Mathematics Advisory Panel’s (NMAP’s) Final Report (spring, 2008). The book approaches mathematic skills deficiencies on an individual basis, much like an IEP addresses the individual needs of a student with disabilities. The Reaching Algebra Readiness (RAR) process consists of four components: (1) Diagnostic, assessing student’s mastery of the skills needed to take algebra; (2) Prescriptive, developing an individualized plan to address specific math deficiencies; (3) Intervention, utilizing tools and resources (parental involvement, effective teaching strategies, etc), to improve students’ mathematics skills; and (4) Drills and Effective Teachings Strategies, mathematics is a discipline and, simply, there is no way of avoiding practice and drilling in reaching algebra readiness, which can be enhanced significantly by implementing proven effective teaching strategies. The Reaching Algebra Readiness (RAR) process and the related materials presented in this book will be revolutionary in helping all students acquire the math skills needed for success in algebra and beyond. This book is a must-guide for math teachers, parents who home school, parents who are looking for solutions, and educators pursuing fundamental education reforms.

Abstract

For three school years, from 2007 to 2010, about 200 high-needs New York City public schools participated in the Schoolwide Performance Bonus Program, whose broad objective was to improve student performance through school-based financial incentives. An independent analysis of test scores, surveys, and interviews found that the program did not improve student achievement, perhaps because it did not motivate change in educator behavior.
