Abstract

"In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, athletes, students, and business people--both seasoned and new--that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit." Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur "genius" Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments. Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own "character lab" and set out to test her theory. Here, she takes readers into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers--from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to the cartoon editor of The New Yorker to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that--not talent or luck--makes all the difference"--

Abstract

Cet ouvrage adopte une approche centrée sur les acteurs pour évoquer la vie de jeunes bruxellois de quartiers défavorisés. Il s'intéresse non à ceux qui subissent le plus les ségrégations et les relégations mais à ceux qui peuvent être considérés comme en réussite scolaire. En prenant pour objet un groupe assez peu étudié en sociologie, le livre contribue aux débats relatifs aux fragmentations des jeunesses urbaines. Il analyse les positionnements de jeunes de quartiers défavorisés en réussite scolaire sur plusieurs dimensions - urbaines, sociales, ethniques et scolaires - et met en lumière à la fois la dualisation de la ville et une forme de dualisation qui apparaît dans ces quartiers, encore trop souvent appréhendés à partir d'une vision relativement homogénéisante. En questionnant le rapport à la ville, mais également la relation aux origines sociales et ethniques ou encore les identités scolaires des jeunes de quartiers populaires en réussite scolaire, cet ouvrage souligne la diversité de leurs quartiers et met en évidence un processus de différenciation entre les catégories de jeunes qui y habitent. Le prisme ethnique et scolaire se retrouve au centre de ce processus. Le groupe mis à distance est décrit comme en majorité d'origine maghrébine, en échec scolaire, souvent délinquant et très présent dans l'espace urbain. Cette description est faite par l'ensemble des jeunes en réussite rencontrés, y compris par ceux qui partagent l'origine sociale et ethnique du groupe stigmatisé. La reproduction des stéréotypes relatifs au groupe mis à distance et la volonté d'affranchissement par rapport aux stigmatisations sont rendues nécessaires par la proximité sociale et urbaine entre les jeunes en réussite scolaire et les groupes plus relégués - qui n'ont pas l'opportunité de se détacher du stigmate. Parce qu'il prend en compte certaines dimensions liées à l'ethnicité, ce livre apporte un complément à la littérature consacrée aux jeunes de quartiers défavorisés, qui se limite le plus souvent à traiter les dimensions territoriales et sociales. Cet éclairage permet non seulement de lutter contre les stéréotypes relatifs aux jeunes de quartiers défavorisés, mais aussi de donner des clés et des leviers aux acteurs de terrain pour lutter contre les différenciations entre jeunesses urbaines ; différenciations qui contribuent à la relégation et à la stigmatisation des jeunes les plus précaires dans les quartiers populaires.

Abstract

When the going gets tough, it's time to get gritty. Written by a clinical-child and school psychologist and based in the latest research, The Grit Guide for Teens will help you build perseverance, resilience, self-control, and stamina.As a teen, setting and reaching goals is an important part of growing up. Whether you want to do well in school, get into a good college, make friends, excel in sports, or master the fine arts or music--you know you need to persevere in order to succeed. You've probably heard the term "grit" at school or from your parents, but what does it really mean?Made popular by Angela Duckworth in her New York Times bestseller, the term "grit," embodies all the characteristics that help people accomplish the things they want, such as self-control, tenacity, and the ability to fail well. Using the skills outlined in this book, you'll develop both grit and a growth mind-set--a way of thinking that focuses on improvement and hard work in order to achieve any goal you set for yourself. You'll learn how to make grit an everyday habit, turn disappointments into opportunities, embrace challenges, manage stress, and be the very best version of you that you can be.Studies show that grit isn't something you have to be born with--it can be taught and learned! This book will give you everything you need to get gritty, open your mind to all life's possibilities, and succeed in everything you do.

Abstract

"Paul's first letter to the Corinthians contains both emphatic warnings and strong statements of assurance, and the relationship between them has often puzzled interpreters. At times, it sounds as if Paul is warning the Corinthians lest they forfeit their eschatological salvation; at others, it sounds like he is assuring them that they will not. Attempts to harmonise the two stances have often ended up nullifying the warnings, or the assurances, or both. In this fresh analysis of all the relevant texts, Andrew J. Wilson demonstrates that Paul's warnings and assurances stand in tension with each other, and suggests that this tension is both coherent, and, in actual fact, deliberate on Paul's part. Discussions of perseverance and apostasy in Paul, grace and works, and the relationship between divine and human agency, will all now need to reckon with this important contribution." -- ‡c From publisher's description.

Abstract

The book provides a rich, informative picture of the current state of student engagement evaluation, while also highlighting challenges and opportunities for future advances. A particular strength of this publication is its emphasis on the importance of taking evidence-based decisions, and showing how the South African Survey of Student Engagement (SASSE) can provide the evidence for well-informed changes in policy and practice in order to enhance student success." - Prof Magda Fourie-Malherbe, Stellenbosch University
