Logo With Low Achievers
Journal of research on computing in education, 1993Co-Authors: David GilesAbstract:AbstractLogo learning environments that encourage social interaction through the use of cooperative learning strategies and that directly teach thinking skills have been shown to result in significant cognitive and social improvements for students. This study investigates these factors in relation to Low-achieving students in their first year of secondary education. With the construction of a socially interactive and reflective learning environment, students revealed a significant change in postprogram results. These students had experienced failure with conventional learning methods in the classroom.

A Study of Effective Strategy Training for Low Achievers in College English Listening Teaching
DEStech Transactions on Social Science Education and Human Science, 2016Co-Authors: Lihua TangAbstract:Effective strategy is one of the most important aspects of learning strategies. Language high Achievers and language Low Achievers vary considerably in effective strategy use. This study carried out an effective strategy training session and it was conducted with the 126 Low Achievers (61 of them belonging to the experimental group and 65 of them belonging to the control group) by applying a newly constructed training model. The results indicate that the training can greatly enhance both effective strategy use and language proficiency and that the effective strategy has great impact on the language Low Achievers and the training is effective.

A Comparative Study of Metacognitive Strategy Use between Language High Achievers and Low Achievers of English in College
International Journal of English Linguistics, 2015Co-Authors: Lihua TangAbstract:Language learning is a complicated process involving a lot of individual factors; therefore, language learning effects vary greatly among individual learners. The research intends to examine the frequencies of Low Achievers’ metacognitive strategy use in China West Normal University and to discuss whether it is necessary to propose an effective metacognitive strategy training model targeted at Low Achievers. The results indicate that LHAs (Language High Achievers) and LLAs (Language Low Achievers) vary considerably in metacognitive strategy use and a metacognitive strategy training program for language Low Achievers will be greatly needed.

A Study of Metacognitive Strategy Training for College Language Low Achievers
Studies in Literature and Language, 2015Co-Authors: Lihua TangAbstract:Language high Achievers and language Low Achievers vary considerably in metacognitive strategy use. This study carried out a metacognitive strategy training session and it was conducted with the 105 Low Achievers (47 of them belonging to the experimental group and 58 of them belonging to the control group) by applying a newly constructed training model from the integration of Oxford’s (1990) eight-step model with Cohen’s 1997 Strategies-based Instruction (SBI).The results indicate that the training can greatly enhance both metacognitive strategy use and language proficiency and that the metacognitive strategy has great impact on the language Low Achievers and the training is effective.

the effects of educational placement and grade level on the self perceptions of Low Achievers and students with learning disabilities
Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1994Co-Authors: Ruth Butler, Deganit MarinovglassmanAbstract:Previous studies have yielded mixed findings as to the effect of learning disabilities (LD) on self-perception. We proposed that perceived competence in children who experience learning difficulties is affected both by age trends in self-appraisal processes and by the degree to which students' salient reference group is composed primarily of similar or more competent others. Measures of perceived competence (Harter, 1982) and perceived achievement were administered to 222 Israeli students (127 boys, 95 girls) in Grades 3, 5, and 7. The sample comprised 68 children with LD attending special schools, 68 children with LD attending special classes in regular schools, and 86 nonidentified Low Achievers in regular classes. As expected, perceived competence was similar and high in all groups at Grade 3, but was higher among the special school group than among the special class and Low achieving groups at Grade 5. The benefits of special schools were less clear at Grade 7. Implications for research methodology an...

The implications of having high-achieving versus Low-achieving friends: A longitudinal analysis
Social Development, 2005Co-Authors: Ellen Rydell Altermatt, Eva M. PomerantzAbstract:The present research examines the achievement-related implications of establishing friendships with high-achieving versus Low-achieving classmates. Fifth- , sixth- , and seventh-grade students (N=929) participated. During the fall and spring semesters, the report card grades of children and their friends were obtained and children completed questionnaire measures of their self-evaluative beliefs and preference for challenge. Results suggest that for Low-achieving students there are tradeoffs associated with establishing and maintaining friendships with high-achieving classmates. Specifically, Low Achievers who established and maintained friendships with high-achieving friends evaluated themselves less positively, but also performed better academically, than Low Achievers with similarly Low-achieving friends. Fewer tradeoffs emerged for high Achievers.
