Produktbeschreibung
There has been increasing concern over middle-school
students standardized test scores and decreased
engagement in learning activities. This is
particularly true of at-risk students who often
exhibit characteristics of learned helplessness. One
factor may be that middle school students frequently
do not understand what skills and knowledge they
possess (academic self-efficacy) or how they learn
(self-regulated learning strategy use).
This study examined the effects of participation in a
guided reflective writing program and gender on
middle school students academic self-efficacy
beliefs and use of self-regulated learning
strategies. Quantitative data were collected from an
academic self-efficacy inventory administered as a
pre- and posttest. Qualitative data were collected to
examine students awareness and use of self-regulated
learning strategies. The data sources included the
treatment group responses to writing prompts and
interviews from selected students from both groups.
Self-efficacy and self-regulated learning were
examined for gender differences.
This work is of interest to educators, counselors,
administrators, psychologists,educational
researchers, and parents.
