The Factors Effecting Student Achievement
Author: Engin Karadağ
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319560832
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

Writing as a Learning Activity
Author: Perry Klein
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004265015
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Writing as a learning activity offers an account of the potentials of writing as a tool for learning. Four aspects of writing emerge particularly clearly through the chapters. First, writing to learn depends on the cognitive strategies of the writer; instruction in such strategies contributes significantly to the ability to use writing as a learning tool. Secondly, strategies for writing and reasoning are largely specific to academic disciplines. Thirdly, writing is not, as traditionally conceived, only an individual ability, but also an activity that is social. It is a collaborative practice facilitated by representational tools-- books, computer, notes, schemata, drawings, etc. – by which knowledge is acquired, organized, and transformed at various levels of complexity. Fourthly, writing is a productive activity, exemplified by the varied and positive effects of writing on learning different subjects at various educational levels.

The Psychology of Gender (4 Volume Set)
Author: Carol Nagy Jacklin
Publisher: New York University Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
A virtual reference library, collecting 146 of the most important papers on aspects of the psychology of gender from 1910 up to 1990, with by far the largest number having been initially published during the 1980s. In addition to editing the set, the estimable Jacklin, herself appropriately well represented, provides an introduction to each volume. Volume I (4185-1) covers historical issues, neonatal and infancy periods, brain organization and brain injury, maturation and motor development, and hormones and behavior; Volume II (4186-X) covers methodological and conceptual issues, cognitive abilities, socialization, and moral development; Volume III (4187-8) covers personality, mental health and psychopathology, and power/aggression/hierarchy; and Volume IV (4188-6) covers non-verbal communication, self-disclosure, sexist language, gender and language, and the word "gender." The articles are reproduced (and sometimes also reduced, but always legible) from their source of original publication. The collection will save researchers an incalculable amount of time in the periodical stacks and at the microfilm reader, and should be regarded as essential for college and university libraries.
