Motivation and Learning Environment Differences between Resilient and Nonresilient Latino Middle School Students.
Waxman, Hersholt C.; And Others
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v19 n2 p137-55 May 1997
Mathematics achievement was used to distinguish between resilient and nonresilient Latino middle-school students, primarily immigrants from working-class families speaking English as a Second Language. Resilient students had greater involvement and satisfaction in math class, academic self-concept, and achievement motivation than nonresilient students, and were less likely to have been left back. Contains 55 references. (SV)
