Learning environments in Andhra Pradesh, India: Children's 'academic self-concept' and mathematics achievement
- Abstract:
- There is a growing realisation that good-quality education can only be assured if both the academic and the social and emotional developmental needs of learners are met within schools. This study investigates the relationship, at primary school level, between a child’s beliefs about their ability to perform academic tasks i.e. ‘academic self-concept’ and achievement in mathematics, as well as between academic self-concept and aspects of the observed classroom environment. Using Young Lives quantitative as well as qualitative data from Andhra Pradesh, India, the results show a significant and positive correlation between the academic self-concept and the progress in mathematics of students in primary schools.
