The ongoing Progress in Education series presents substantial
results from around the globe in selected areas of educational
research. Schools are institutions that sail in the tempest of
educational issues, reforms, strategies, data and tools, as well as
reflect changes in society. Embedded in all of these are
technology, diversity, and innovation - their inevitability has
been demonstrated in our schools and communities. The first chapter
of this volume reviews studies on the associations between
childrens temperament dimensions and academic achievement. Chapter
Two analyzes the psychometric properties as well as the validity of
a newly developed scale for measuring preadolescent students'
self-concept of L2 grammatical competencies. Chapter Three examines
differences in reading skills of Texas high school students as a
function of gender. Chapter Four presents a longitudinal study of a
sample of prospective teachers which analysed the evolution from
before to after their teaching practices of their personal
metaphors about themselves as teachers and about their pupils'
role, and the emotions associated with those metaphors. Chapter
Five explores the perception of Taiwanese secondary teachers on
self-regulated learning-based instruction. Chapter Six reviews
differences in high school completion rates by high school size for
Hispanic students in Texas. Chapter Seven examines the effect of
student and family background and student academic preparedness on
success in college. Chapter Eight determines the extent to which
differences were present in college-ready rates in reading,
mathematics, and in both subjects for Asian boys and Asian girls as
a function of their economic status in Texas high schools for
2005-2006 through 2011-2012.
