First Generation College

Using a qualitative interview design, this study examined factors contributing to the academic achievement of gifted first-generation college females. Findings indicated an emerging professional identity as the primary influence on achievement. The participants' high ability served as a passport to accessing coursework, extracurricular experiences, and high-achieving friends who helped shape this emerging professional identity. Personal characteristics developed from their working-class backgrounds, including independence and a strong work ethic, were also found to be influential. Finally, the participants expressed a desire to explore their identities, even when this meant forming values different from those of their families and hometown communities. Implications of these findings are discussed, including suggestions for future research and recommendations for parents, counselors, and educators of gifted first-generation college females.

The present study investigates the influence of some variables related to attiudes, motivation, and academic achievement. As students of the intensive English language program at Community Service and Continuious Education Deanship (CSCED) show different levels of education, different purposes of study, and different levels of previous training, the research investigates the effect of such variables on student attitude. The variable of sex is also added as the intensive English language program in CSCED at University of Tabuk consists of both male and female students. To collect the required data, a 5-point Likert scale attitude questionnaire was developed. The attitude scale involved 32 items. According to the results of the study, students hold positive attitudes toward the intensive English language program in CSCED at the Tabuk University. In addition, there are no statistically significant differences in student attitude toward the intensive English language program in CSCED at the University of Tabuk according to the following variables: teacher nationality (p-value > 0.05), their level of education (p-value > 0.05), and their sex (p-value > 0.05). There are statistically significant differences between attitudes of students toward the intensive English language program in the CSCED in the University of Tabuk according to the following variables: their academic achievement (p-value < 0.05), their purpose of study (p-value < 0.05), and their previous training programs (p-value < 0.05). Some recommendations were suggested in relation to EFL student attitudes.

RESUMENLos profundos cambios en el mercado laboral han generado en los últimos años un debate en torno a la empleabilidad de los estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la percepción de la empleabilidad en función del sexo, titulación y situación laboral y analizar su relación con la percepción del logro. Han participado 297 estudiantes matriculados en diferentes grados de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Murcia.  Los instrumentos aplicados buscan explorar la auto-percepción subjetiva de performance de empleabilidad, midiendo habilidades y competencias expresadas por los participantes y la percepción (creencias) de condiciones personales y profesionales requeridas por los empleadores ante un proceso potencial de contratación laboral. Los estudiantes universitarios no sólo perciben como necesarias determinadas características personales sino que también consideran los requerimientos del contexto sociolaboral en el que se inscriben. Asimismo, se ha comprobado la existencia de una relación estadísticamente significativa entre percepción de empleabilidad y percepción del logro. Los resultados tienen unas implicaciones prácticas de gran importancia con objeto de mejorar la empleabilidad de los estudiantes universitarios. Entre los contenidos prioritarios a abordar se contempla la incorporación de acciones de orientación profesional en los planes de estudios universitarios. ABSTRACT In the last few years, a discussion about university students´ employability has been generated by deep changes in the job market. The objective of this investigation has been to analyze employability with reference to sex, degree and employment situation, and to analyze its relation to the achievement perception. 297 students have participated in different levels of the Education Department of the University of Murcia. The tools that have been applied seek to explore the subjective self-perception on the employability performance, measuring skills and abilities expressed by the participants, and the perception (belief) of personal and professional conditions required by employers with reference to a potential job hiring. University students not only perceive that certain personal characteristics are necessary, but they also consider the requirements of their social and labor context. Also tested the existence of a statistically significant relation among employability perception and achievement expectations.The results have highly important practical implications aiming to improve the university students´ employability. Priority should focus to address the incorporation of vocational guidance in university plans of studies.

<p>This mixed methods study involved 332 high school students and investigated those factors that students perceived as having facilitated their success in New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) Scholarship. A key finding from this study suggests that New Zealand Scholarship students form a connection with at least one teacher and consider this relationship to be a catalyst in their success. Family, peers and friends play a lesser but still important role in the student's success, providing support for the student. These successful students reported reduced time spent in extracurricular activities in order to prepare for subjects in which they believed they would be successful. Students related experiences where teachers, schools and some learning communities were not supportive of their aspirations for high academic achievement, and described the impact of this on their quest for Scholarship success. This research has identified a number of aspects relating to high academic achievement and New Zealand secondary education that require further investigation. These include an investigation into those practices of teachers who work with high-ability students to yield greater understanding of the beliefs that teachers hold about teaching high-ability students and the ways in which these beliefs affect student outcomes.</p>

Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) is a transdisciplinary area that joins neuroscience, psychology, and education to inform teaching practice and educational policy with research that can be translated into applicable and reflective tenets and principles of how students learn more effectively. It is well established in the MBE literature that what leads students to success are not only cognitive abilities but also beliefs and attitudes towards learning, which forms a complex and multifaceted universe with different levels of influence. This study has conducted a literature review on the contributions of MBE concerning these beliefs and attitudes and attempted to summarize them into a useful guide that might help students reflect on their academic achievement throughout life. Four essential elements were analysed and discussed, namely: growth mindset, metacognition, self-efficacy, and neuroplasticity. It is argued that these concepts are of paramount importance to anyone who wishes to accomplish both academic and career goals and they are aligned with the notion of lifelong learning.

Mathematical Interpretation

Mathematical interpretation of the psychophysiological «value» of modern schoolchildren’ cognitive activity will allow to identify risk groups, especially among students with high and average academic achievement. The results allowed to establish dependence of the type of functions and properties, at the expense of which the «value» of the students’ activity was manifested, from the way of organizing the educational process. The article argues that regression models of psychophysiological «value» have different filling of variables depending on gender, intensity of information and physical loads. The variables that are most often included in psychophysiological «value» regression models, i.e., are the most important markers of change in the «price» of activity of students with high academic achievement, include thinking flexibility level, extraversion, anxiety level, speed of complex visualmotor reaction, as well as average length of cardiocycles during mental activity.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the manifestations of emotional burnout of future physical education teachers and to determine the role of personal determinants in the formation and overcoming this condition. The purpose was specified in the following tasks: to identify the features of emotional burnout in future physical training teachers; to investigate the relationships between emotional burnout and personal characteristics of students; to find out the differences in the sets of personality characteristics of students of future physical training teachers with different levels of emotional burnout. Design and Methods: The research involved 150 students of the college (18.1±2 years) who study in the specialty “physical training and sports”: the 1st year, n=50; 2nd year, n=32; 3rd year, n=37 and 4th year, n=31). The sample is heterogeneous (61.33% of boys, 38.67% of girls). The Maslach Burnout Inventory (C. Maslach), “Diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout” (V.V. Bojko), the modified form of the FRI questionnaire was employed. Methods of descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation analysis, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance and structural analysis (by A.V. Karpov) were used. Mathematical data processing and graphical presentation of the results were carried out using the computer software package of statistical software SPSS 22.0. Results: The article confirms the assumption about the existence of correlation relations between emotional burnout and personal characteristics of future physical training teachers. The statistically significant differences between groups of students with different levels of emotional burnout on the scale of “neuroticism”, “spontaneous aggression”, “depression”, “emotional lability”, “irritability”, “reactive aggression”, “openness” that are more common to future teachers with high level of emotional burnout are revealed. It is empirically proven that students with different levels of emotional burnout characterized by various structural organizations of personality characteristics, and also that the growth of indicators of the emotional burnout formation is accompanied by a qualitative restructuring of the personality characteristics. Conclusions: The obtained data contributes to the study of the phenomenon of burnout and provide an opportunity to identify further directions of its prevention and correction among future physical training teachers. Subsequent studies will be aimed at developing an individual system of psychological training and support for the prevention and correction of emotional burnout among students.
