It is becoming increasingly clear that non-cognitive psychological
processes are important for students' school achievement, even to
the point where their influence may be stronger than that exerted
by the parents, teachers, or the school atmosphere itself.
Non-cognitive psychological variables refer to varieties of
self-beliefs and goal orientations - such as anxiety, confidence,
self-efficacy, and self-concept - which are often seen as
dispositional and motivational in nature. It is particularly
important to highlight the role that confidence and self-efficacy
play in school achievement, as these two self-beliefs are related
to metacognitive processing - the awareness of what you know and
what you do not know. Self-concept, meanwhile, tends to exert its
influence on an individual's choice of tertiary level courses. This
book suggests that by focusing on students' self-beliefs, the
education system may be in a position to improve cognitive
performance, since individual students' self-beliefs may be more
malleable than the cognitive processes involved in acquiring
academic knowledge. Focusing on these non-cognitive psychological
processes is also likely to be more effective in improving
performance than system-wide interventions involving changes in
policy for both public and private sector educators. This book will
be useful to educational researchers, school leaders,
administrators, counsellors, and teachers, in guiding students'
attitudes towards learning and school performance. It will also
provide students in psychology and education with broad and nuanced
insights into the drivers of school achievement. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Educational Psychology.

This book presents selected papers from the 3rd Cultural DNA
Workshop. Contributed by prominent computational design experts in
the fields of mechanical engineering and architectural design, they
mainly focus on the design process; shape grammars as a valuable
tool; and the analysis of cultural values. The book offers readers
fresh viewpoints on computational design. and helps researchers in
academy and practitioners in industry to learn more evolved
cultural DNA knowledge which is newly interpreted and conceptually
reinforced in areas of mechanical engineering and architectural
engineering.

This book explores the emerging concept of cultural DNA,
considering its application across different fields and examining
commonalities in approach. It approaches the subject from four
different perspectives, in which the topics include theories,
analysis and synthesis of cultural DNA artefacts. After an opening
section which reviews theoretical work on cultural DNA research,
the second section discusses analysis & synthesis of cultural
DNA at the urban scale. Section three covers analysis &
synthesis of cultural DNA artefacts, and the final section offers
approaches to grammar-based cultural DNA research. The book places
emphasis on two specific axes: one is the scale of the object under
discussion, which ranges from the small (handheld artefacts) to the
very large (cities); and the other is the methodology used from
analysis to synthesis. This diverse approach with detailed
information about grammar-based methodologies toward cultural DNA
makes the book unique. This book will serve as a source of
inspiration for designers and researchers trying to find the
essence, archetype, and the building blocks of our environment for
the incorporation of social and cultural factors into their
designs.

This book constitutes selected papers of the 18th International
Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Futures, CAAD
Futures 2019, held in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, in June 2019. The
34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 194 submissions. The papers are organized in topical
sections on theory, methodology and practice of architectural and
interior design; support systems for design decisions; tools,
methods and implementation of urban design; rethinking space and
spatial behavior; fabrication and materialization; and shape
studies.
