- Summary:
-
This study's purpose was to enhance the self-concept of ability of low-achieving, junior high school students and, subsequently, increase their achievement through--(1) modification of images and expectations held by parents, (2) direct contact with an "expert," communicating information to enhance self-concept of ability, and (3) interaction with a counselor, holding positive and high expectations for the students. Three 1-year experiments with ninth-grade students and a longitudinal study of approximately 500 students in an urban school system revealed that a significant increase in both self-concept of ability and grade-point average was effected by working with parents who represented academic significance to their children. "expert" and counseling treatments failed to induce significant changes in either self-concept or achievement. Refer to ED 002 946 for preceeding investigations in the subject area. (jm)
