Factors Affecting Academic Performance
Nowadays, society is constantly changing, and new ways of life are being developed by due to nonstop technological advancements. This generates changes in family, schools, the media, etc. New technologies are creating virtual environments to manage learning and academic achievement, and this is a new challenge to approach formal and informal education. In the last few decades, teachers, families, and educational administrators had very well-defined fields of action and roles to play. Now, these roles are disfigured, and influences from all agents are arguable and more difficult to face. At this current stage, problems sometimes appear that require different forms of intervention. Some of the...
Determinantes Del Rendimiento Académico
En los últimos años, son numerosos los estudios sobe el papel que el autoconcepto desempeña en la conducta y en el aprendizaje escolar. Este interés, en parte, viene propiciado por la idea de que cada sujeto actúa y rinde no como lo que es, sino como lo que cree que es. Esta idea es reafirmada por las investigaciones recientes sobre la motivación académica y sobre las características de los sujetos que autorregulan de modo eficaz su aprendizaje. Atender a las percepciones que los estudiantes tienen de sí mismos y de su competencia académica parece crucial en el desarrollo de un modelo comprensivo del aprendizaje escolar y además se deben tener en cuenta a la hora de proyectar la práctica educativa, si se quiere que los alumnos se impliquen activamente en su proceso de aprendizaje. En el libro que aquí se presenta, se aborda de una manera amplia y exhaustiva esta problemática.
Students at Risk of School Failure
The main objective of this Research Topic is to determine the conditions that place students at risk of school failure, identifying student and context variables. In spite of the fact that there is currently little doubt about how one learns and how to teach, in some countries of the “developed world,” there is still there is a high rate of school failure. Although the term “school failure” is a very complex construct, insofar as its causes, consequences, and development, from the field of educational psychology, the construct “student engagement” has recently gained special interest in an attempt to deal with the serious problem of school failure. School engagement builds on the...
The Handbook of International School Psychology
This is an ideal resource for scholars, practitioners, and graduate students interested in acquiring an international view of school psychology along with psychology, education7F 14 including special education, and mental health." -- Publisher description.
The Psychology of Translation
Drawing on work from scholars in both psychology and translation studies, this collection offers new perspectives on what Holmes (1972) called ‘translation psychology’. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions addressing translation from the vantage point of different applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. Current theoretical and methodological practices in these areas have the potential to strengthen and diversify how translators’ decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood, but many sub-branches of psychology have lacked visibility so far in the translation stu...
Global Issues in Higher Education
In most developed countries a high proportion of the population (up to 50 percent) now enter higher education at some time in their lives. Higher education is therefore very important to national economies, both as a significant industry in its own right, and as a source of trained and educated personnel for the rest of the economy. It follows that there are enormous stakes involved for a particular country even though the payoff of serious reforms may take decades and thus be counterproductive to the political forces responsible for designing and implementing such reforms since their horizons tend to be very short. This new book tackles important issues in this dynamic field.
Motivation in Education
Understanding student and teacher motivation and developing strategies to foster motivation for students at all levels of performance are essential to effective teaching. Motivation in education can have several effects on how students learn and their behaviour towards subject matter. This book presents new research in the field.
Psicología Educacional
Texto que propone rumbos, porque hace falta una orientación visionaria que señale y descubra caminos por donde transitar, tanto para fines científicos como profesionales, especialmente cuando hay algunos senderos que podrían no ser los óptimos. Problemáticas, porque en un medio cambiante, hay demandas que no pueden esperar, como también otras más o menos advertidas que deberían desplegarse y erigirse en prioridades. Aportaciones, porque en Chile la psicología educacional ha alcanzado un nivel de desarrollo tal, que impele a los formadores de la educación superior a apropiarse de la responsabilidad de incrementar y difundir el saber acumulado.
The Pedagogy of Standardized Testing
Based on a large-scale international study of teachers in Los Angeles, Chicago, Ontario, and New York, this book illustrates the ways increased use of high-stakes standardized testing is fundamentally changing education in the US and Canada with a negative overall impact on the way teachers teach and students learn. Standardized testing makes understanding students' strengths and weaknesses more difficult, and class time spent on testing consumes scarce time and attention needed to support the success of all students—further disadvantaging ELLs, students with exceptionalities, low income, and racially minoritized students.
