Title
Improving Academic Achievement: Impact of Psychological Factors on Education (Educational Psychology),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Social psychological research has revealed much about how personal and interpersonal factors impact academic achievement. The research has been reported in several different outlets but has never before been condensed in an easy to read, engaging book, targeting the hot topics of coffee table debates. This book does just that, offering review chapters by the most influential researchers of today, written for an audience of educational and cognitive psychologists as well as school administrators, teachers, policy makers, and parents. Section one focuses on what motivates students, how selfesteem affects the learning process, the consequences of achievement goals, the effects of student attributions of success and failure, selfhandicapping, methods of strategic learning, and how to successfully use one's intelligence. Section two discusses how the offering of rewards may affect achievement, how teacher expectations may affect student performance, the effects of stereotypes, feedback, and social rejection. There's also a discussion of effective means of turning atrisk students into scholars, and how students can successfully traverse transitions to middle school.
