The longitudinal relationship between internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems with academic achievement in elementary school

BackgroundCascade models propose that behavioral difficulties and academic achievement are reciprocally intertwined. However, empirical evidence for this assumption is inconclusive. AimsThe present study examines the relations between internalizing and externalizing behavioral difficulties and academic achievement in three achievement domains (i.e., reading, writing, mathematics) across four school years in primary school. SampleA sample of N = 461 primary school students was used to examine our research questions. Five waves of measurement were gathered to capture students’ educational development throughout elementary school. MethodsA series of cross-lagged panel analyses was conducted controlling for potential confounders (i.e., attention, cognitive ability, gender). ResultsContrary to our hypotheses, results point only to sporadic reciprocal effects between behavioral problems and achievement. Effects vary greatly both between achievement domain and between behavioral difficulties. On all longitudinal variable associations, there were consistently moderate to high stabilities across four years of primary education. ConclusionsModerate to high stabilities of the variables under examination suggests that interventions beginning after school entrance might be too late to avoid adverse developmental trajectories adequately. Additionally, prevention and intervention programs are discussed which might avoid such educational developments.

Zonation system in admission of new student at state secondary school in Indonesia: how predictable to learning success

Introduction. A new student acceptance model with the zoning system raises various problems, including the unequal number of public schools in an area causing students to experience barriers to obtaining a proper education. The decrease in motivation and achievement of students is because the selection is only based on zoning, and the achievements of prospective students at the previous education level are not considered. Students fail to enter superior schools because they are outside the zone. The distribution of quality public schools are not evenly distributed, causing limited choices and causing the implementation of the principle of justice in access to education services – lack of readiness of local governments in setting zones.Aim. From the problems above, this study aims to find differences in learning achievement in terms of admission, predict learning achievement from elementary school to junior high school, and determine graduation document predictions with a zoning system on student achievement.Research methodology and methods. The research used a quantitative approach from October 2021 to March 2022. The research sample was 356 students who entered the 2018 state junior high school and graduated from the 2020 school year junior high school. The sampling technique for this study used proportional random sampling. Determining the size of the research sample was done by considering the pathways for accepting new students: the zoning path, the achievement path, the affirmation path, and the parent transfer path. Data analysis used ANOVA and multiple regression analysis at a significance level of 5%.Results and scientific novelty. The results showed no difference in the average report cards of junior high school students when viewed from the path when they entered the junior high school through the zoning system. The results of one-way ANOVA obtained F = 1.298 with a significance level of 0.275. The differences in the entry paths of students to junior high school, namely from the zoning pathway, academic and non-academic achievement pathways, affirmation pathways, and parental transfer paths, are proven not to affect their learning achievement in junior high schools. There is a linear regression from students’ learning achievement in elementary school to students’ learning achievement in junior high school. The partial and simultaneous tests show that it is not proven that learning achievement in elementary school affects learning achievement in junior high school. When they graduate from elementary school, students’ learning achievement has a weak predictive power on students’ learning achievement in junior high school. The national primary school-based school examination average, elementary school report card average, and elementary school examination average, used as entry requirements to junior high school in the zoning system, only have a predictive power of 1.4–2,7%.Practical significance. Parents can use this research to make decisions on their child’s education. Parents do not need to worry about the zoning system implemented by the government in accepting new students because the zoning system does not affect children’s achievements at the level of education they take. The school must also implement education systems and policies properly so that the quality of education in each institution is maintained so that parents do not worry about choosing a place for their child’s education.

The Effect of Discipline and Motivation on Teacher Achievement in Elementary Schools

The research instrument used was a questionnaire using a Likert scale as an assessment of the score for each question, with a score range of 1–5. The study population was all schools in Lebak Regency, totaling 775 schools. The research sample used a stratified random sampling technique. The results of this Discipline study have an influence and are significant on the performance of teaching teachers, including the high category. Motivation has a significant effect on teacher teaching performance in the high category. It can be concluded that discipline and motivation have high cross-category scores in achieving teacher-teaching performance.

Domains of parental involvement and academic achievement across grade levels in the Chinese context

ABSTRACT This study explored the relationship between domains of parental involvement and students’ academic achievement in elementary, middle, and high schools. The participants were 121,635 students in China. Results from multilevel linear models indicated that the relationships between domains of parental involvement and students’ academic achievement differ by grade level. In elementary schools, students with higher degrees of parental involvement in study performed better, whereas parental involvement in daily life was not related to academic achievement. In middle schools, academic achievement was unrelated to parental involvement in study or daily life. Students whose parents paid more attention to their daily lives but less to study scored better on academic achievement tests when it comes to high schools. This study suggests that parents should provide appropriate types of support for their children at various developmental stages.

Implication of this study can be a reference for teachers to develop similar electronic media. Librarians should intensify their efforts to create more reading awareness among students.

Empirical Benchmarks to Interpret Intervention Effects on Student Achievement in Elementary and Secondary School: Meta-Analytic Results from Germany

To assess the meaningfulness of an intervention effect on students’ achievement, researchers may apply empirical benchmarks as standards for comparisons, involving normative expectations for students’ academic growth as well as performance gaps between weak and average schools or policy-relevant groups (e.g., male and female students, students from socioeconomically advantaged or disadvantaged families, students with or without a migration background). Previous research made these empirical benchmarks available for students in the United States. We expand this line of research by providing novel meta-analytic evidence on these empirical benchmarks for students attending elementary and secondary schools in Germany for a broad variety of achievement outcomes. Drawing on the results obtained for large probability samples, we observed variations in each kind of benchmark across countries as well as across and within domains and student subpopulations within Germany. Thus, the assessment of the very same intervention effect may depend on the target population and outcome of the intervention. We offer guidelines and illustrations for applying empirical benchmarks to assess the magnitude of intervention effects.
