Adolescents earlier diagnosed as dyslexic show major IQ declines on the WISC-III     

P. T. Ackerman  N. L. Weir  C. A. Holloway  R. A. Dykman 《Reading and writing》1995,7(2):163-170

Adolescents (n=43) previously diagnosed as dyslexic/reading disabled had markedly lower IQ scores on the newly standardized Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) than on the earlier administered WISC-R. The declines for Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs were 10, 12, and 11 points, respectively, which were twice as great as in a subset of the standardization sample given both versions of the WISC. The adolescents did not show a significant decline in standard scores from the Wide Range Achievement Test (Level I to Level II). However, only two subjects had current reading and spelling standard scores above the 25th percentile. The impact of lower WISC-III IQs on guidelines for classification of students as learning disabled is discussed.  相似文献

Comparing active delay and procrastination from a self-regulated learning perspective     

Danya M. Corkin  Shirley L. Yu  Suzanne F. Lindt 《Learning and individual differences》2011,21(5):602-606

Researchers have proposed that the act of postponing academic work may be divided into a traditional definition of procrastination, viewed as maladaptive, and adaptive forms of delay. Adaptive forms of delay may be more consistent with certain facets of self-regulated learning. The current study investigated this issue by examining whether the relations between aspects of self-regulated learning and active delay may be distinct from the relations these aspects of self-regulated learning have with procrastination. Among 206 undergraduates, procrastination was positively predicted by mastery-avoidance goals and negatively by metacognitive strategy usage, whereas active delay was negatively predicted by avoidance goals and positively by self-efficacy. Furthermore, students who reported higher levels of active delay also received better grades. These findings provide support that active delay is a distinct form of delay from procrastination that may be more positive due to its associations with some adaptive self-regulatory processes and academic achievement.  相似文献   

Examining the effect of positive behaviour support on academic achievement of students with disabilities     

Morgan Chitiyo  Plaxedes Makweche‐Chitiyo  Meungguk Park  Lawrence K Ametepee  Jonathan Chitiyo 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2011,11(3):171-177

Students who engage in challenging behaviour compromise the fundamental ability of schools to educate children. Consequently, teachers face the daunting task of designing effective strategies to promote positive educational outcomes for their students. Since the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act amendments, the use of positive behaviour supports (PBS) to address the behavioural needs of children challenged by disabilities has expanded. There is evidence to support the utility of PBS in reducing challenging behaviour among students. However, successful schools are also gauged by the academic achievement of their students. Hence, it is important to examine the extent to which behavioural outcomes are related to academic outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which PBS interventions aimed at reducing challenging behaviour result in corresponding improvement in academic achievement. A meta‐analysis of extant research indicated a positive correlation of 0.40 between improvement in problem behaviour and academic achievement.

再议辛亥革命的成败     

姜新 《徐州师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,37(4):87-92

辛亥革命的动力是由革命党、立宪派、统治集团内部改革派等多种力量组成的反清阵营,立宪派压抑党人,袁世凯迫孙让位应视为阵营内部的斗争,不能作为失败的依据。立宪派"保路"引发武昌起义,策动"独立"促进清朝统治的瓦解,袁氏集团拥护"共和"迫使清廷退位,革命阵营扩大恰与胜利同行。辛亥革命的目标可以理解为"主体预设"和"后人规定"等多层任务,要求彻底完成后人规定的反帝反封建任务,违背了历史主义原则,据此不足以证明其失败。辛亥革命基本完成了主体预设的三民主义,也参与了反帝反封建的任务,表明了胜利。辛亥革命付出代价决定于专制的顽固与满汉之间的对峙,革命后的割据根源在于封建经济与列强干预,代价与混战也不能证明失败。革命促进了政治体制、经济基础与文化意识的进步,受益大于成本,再次印证胜利。  相似文献   

Role strain,engagement and academic achievement in early adolescence     

Eddy H. de Bruyn 《Educational studies》2005,31(1):15-27

The present study was designed to investigate the relationships between role strains following the transition to secondary school and academic achievement. Academic engagement was hypothesized to mediate between role strain and achievement. The sample consisted of 749 students in their first year of secondary school. Four types of role strain were investigated: parent, teacher, school and peer. Parent and teacher role strains appeared to be negatively associated with academic achievement, as mediated through academic engagement. Parent and school role strain were directly and negatively associated with achievement. Results are discussed in the light of parenting practices and the developmental mismatch hypothesis.  相似文献   

“I learn for a job promotion!”: the role of outcome-focused career goals in motivating distance learners to learn     

Clarence Ng 《Distance Education》2018,39(3):390-410

Outcome-focused career goals are concerned about studying for tangible career benefits. To what extent do these goals motivate distance learners to learn? Using a mixed-method design, Study 1 found that career-focused learners, when compared with noncareer-focused counterparts, had a propensity to endorse outcome-focused career goals, use surface strategies, value their learning, and achieve better course results. Interview findings showed that career-focused learners used a strategic approach to ensure the timely completion of tasks and examination preparation. Study 2 located two groups of career-focused learners (autonomous and controlled) who endorsed outcome-focused career goals, alongside a noncareer-focused group. MANOVA analyses found that autonomous and noncareer-focused learners had engaged learning patterns. Although controlled learners were less engaged in learning, they achieved better results. It was concluded that outcome-focused career goals are significant sources of motivation for distance learners, despite being extrinsic to learning.  相似文献   

Science diaries: a brief writing intervention to improve motivation to learn science     

Matthew Bernacki  Timothy Nokes-Malach  J. Elizabeth Richey  Daniel M. Belenky 《教育心理学》2016,36(1):26-46

This study investigated the hypothesis that prompting students to self-assess their interest and understanding of science concepts and activities would increase their motivation in science classes. Students were randomly assigned to an experimental condition that wrote self-assessments of their competence and interest in science lessons or a control condition that wrote summaries of those same lessons. Writing activities were 10?min long and were given approximately once a week for eighteen weeks. Student motivation was assessed via self-report surveys for achievement goals and interest in science before and after the intervention. Students in the experimental condition showed higher endorsement of mastery goals and reported greater situational interest in science topics after the intervention compared to students who summarised the lessons. Increases in situational interest predicted higher individual interest in the domain. Results indicate an instructional practice requiring just 3?hours out of a semester of instruction was sufficient to achieve these effects on motivation in science classes.  相似文献

Differential prospective relationships of social-oriented and individual-oriented achievement motivations with achievement goals and affective wellbeing: A 1-year follow-up study     

《Learning and Instruction》2023

This study aimed to investigate the differential prospective relationships of social-oriented achievement motivation (SOAM) and individual-oriented achievement motivation (IOAM) with student's adoption of specific achievement goals and their affective wellbeing (AWB). A total of 332 Chinese university students (M_age = 19.139; Female = 75%) voluntarily participated in the baseline and the 1-year follow-up surveys of this study. The factor score path analysis results showed statistically significant positive paths from SOAM and IOAM at baseline to performance goals and mastery goals, respectively, at follow-up. Moreover, a statistically significant positive path was found from SOAM at baseline to negative affective experiences, at follow-up, and no association was found between IOAM and AWB, after controlling for achievement goals. The findings suggest the usefulness of raising educators' and parents' awareness regarding the double-edged sword of utilizing socially valued motives to promote performance approach goals in individuals because such values potentially lowering their psychological wellbeing.  相似文献
