Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The study investigates the ability of English proficiency tests (1) to measure levels of English proficiency among learners who have English as the medium of teaching and learning, and (2) to predict long-term academic achievement (Grade 7 to Grade 12). The tests are "discrete-point" tests, namely, error recognition and grammar tests (both multiple-choice tests), and "integrative" tests, namely, cloze tests, essay tests and dictation tests. The sample of subjects consists of two groups: (1) those taking English as a First Language subject and those takin

In order to study Maccoby & Martin's (1983) dimensions of parental responsiveness and demandingness among different achievement groups, 237 students were divided into average and low achievers and those with learning disabilities.

Abstract:

This study seeks to determine the nature of the intellectual demands of the Higher Grade course in Mathematics with a view to early, more accurate prediction of individual pupil success in this course. The need for such early prediction is clearly indicated by the interest shown on the part of parents and pupils alike during the Standard Seven year where the realisation exists that Matriculation Mathematics is a subject sometimes found to be "overwhelmingly difficult". The "drop out" figure from the Higher Grade course to the Standard Grade course in most schools further demonstrates the need

This study examines the relationships among student socioeconomic status, school district enrollment, minority enrollment, district expenditure per pupil, and the teaching experience of faculty as these variables influence the achievement scores of secondary students in Texas. Data from a total of 1,061 Texas school districts were used to determine the effects of the indicated district-level predictor variables on three criterion variables: reading, mathematics, and writing scores for the 11th-grade Texas Education Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS).

Abstract:

Pathways to becoming a college student are as numbered and varied as college students themselves. For some people, the pathway to college is marked by barriers, such as negative messages received by the student regarding their abilities to attend college and/or the likelihood that they will get to attend college. On one hand, research suggests that children and adolescents internalize these negative messages, which then have the potential to block achievement in higher education. On the other hand, the general body of resilience research suggests that youth can overcome challenges and defy neg

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which measures of ego strength, as conceived by Erikson (1963a) and operationalized by Markstrom, Sabino, Turner and Berman (1997), contribute to the prediction of academic achievement of high school students. At issue was whether the ego strength variables enhance prediction beyond that provided by selected demographic variables and two measures of religiosity: faith participation and faith importance.

Federal and state laws have mandated preschool educational screenings. However, these laws only specify that a screening measure must be incorporated in the school's procedures. The laws do not state what this screening measure should be or how it should be used.

As a result, reliable, valid screening measures are needed. A review of the current literature indicates that there are numerous screening me
