El consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en la adolescencia temprana y media. El papel de la eficacia académica y de la crianza
2020
ABSTRACT This study examines (i) the relationships between substance use and parenting style and between substance use and perceived academic self-efficacy in early and middle adolescence, (ii) the importance of these factors in predicting adolescent substance use, and (iii) the role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting styles and adolescent substance use. The sample comprised 762 adolescents (53% boys) aged 12 to 16 years (M = 13.66, SD = 1.34). The sample was selected using probabilistic cluster sampling according to type of school (secondary, public vs. semi-private) and school location in different areas of the city of Valencia (Spain). This approach accounted…

Implications of Overlapping Difficulties in Mathematics and Reading on Self-Concept and Academic Achievement
2016
In this study, the relationship between adolescents’ difficulty in mathematics and reading and the influence on academic self-concept and school grades was examined. The participants (N = 585; 299 girls, 286 boys) were one age group of ninth-graders whose mathematics and reading skills were assessed at the end of comprehensive school at age 16 years. Five student profile groups were found using cluster analysis: best achievers, normal achievers (NA), the reading difficulty (RD) group, the mathematical difficulty (MD) group, and the learning difficulty (LD) group. Post-hoc tests revealed that the RD group and the LD group had a higher academic self-concept than the MD group. In school grades…
Part-time special education predicts students' reading self-concept development
2018
Abstract The academic self-concept changes from childhood to early adulthood in relation to experiences of capability in different school tasks and comparison with peers. Students in special education have a lower academic self-concept than their peers do, but it is unclear how part-time special education affects self-concept development. In Finnish schools, part-time special education is learning support that is usually provided for 1–2 h/week in small groups. The main aim of this study was exploring the effects of participation in part-time special education and gender on the level and change in three academic self-concept domains (General School, Mathematics and Reading) between the ages…
The Influence of Pubertal Development on Adolescent Depression: The Mediating Effects of Negative Physical Self and Interpersonal Stress
2021
The current study examined the influence of pubertal development stage on depression and its psychosocial mechanisms in a non-clinical population of 502 adolescents (244 boys and 258 girls) in China, graded 5 to 8. Results indicated that (1) pubertal development was positively correlated with depression, negative physical self and interpersonal stress. (2) There is a significant gender by pubertal development interaction on the measure of academic self-concept, which is accounted for by decreased academic self in boys but not in girls as a function of pubertal development. (3) Mediation analyses show that increased depression in late compared to pre- puberty is partly mediated by the enhanc…
Peer effects in the light of students interactions and the subjective dimensions of school experience
2011
This Thesis addresses the issue of peer-effects in the context of school. From analysis of a large database produced by a Chilean national study (SIMCE 2004), this work investigates the mechanisms through which pupils with different levels of scholastic, human and cultural capital influence each other. These influences seem present for a diverse range of school outcomes, including academic achievement. Drawing on the literature produced by different disciplinary approaches —sociology, economics, social psychology and education— the study focuses on ways of identifying and measuring peer-effects. The presence of subjective dimensions capable of reflecting, in part, the school experience of p…
Competence Acquisition through Autonomy in the Self-regulated Learning Process
2012
La autorregulación académica se ha establecido como una de las competencias básicas en el sistema educativo bajo el nuevo paradigma del Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior. La autorregulación del aprendizaje no es una capacidad mental, como la inteligencia, o una habilidad, como la lectura, sino un proceso autodirigido a través del cual los aprendices transforman sus capacidades mentales en habilidades académicas. En la investigación que aquí se presenta, se consideran específicamente las dimensiones motivacionales (orientación intrínseca y extrínseca, valor otorgado a las tareas, locus de control para el aprendizaje, autoeficacia para el aprendizaje y ansiedad ante las evaluaciones) diri…

Akadēmiskās pašefektivitātes saistība ar akadēmisko izdegšanas sindromu un perfekcionismu
2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija veikt zinātniskās literatūras apkopojumu un empīriski pārbaudīt sakarības starp akadēmisko pašefektivitāti, akadēmisko izdegšanas sindromu un perfekcionismu. Pētījuma izlase iekļāva n=144 pirmā līmeņa profesionālās augstākās izglītības, bakalaura, maģistra vai doktora līmeņa programmu studijās studējošus indivīdus. Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas, Perfekcionisma aptauja (Almost Perfect Scale-Revised Short Form (APS-R SF); Rice et al., 2001), Maslakas izdegšanas sindroma aptauja – Studentu versija (Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS); Schaufeli et al., 2002) un Akadēmiskās pašefektivitātes aptauja (College academic self-efficacy scale (…
