The International Guide to Student Achievement brings together and
critically examines the major influences shaping student
achievement today. There are many, often competing, claims about
how to enhance student achievement, raising the questions of "What
works?" and "What works best?" World-renowned bestselling authors,
John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman have invited an international
group of scholars to write brief, empirically-supported articles
that examine predictors of academic achievement across a variety of
topics and domains. Rather than telling people what to do in their
schools and classrooms, this guide simply provides the first-ever
compendium of research that summarizes what is known about the
major influences shaping students' academic achievement around the
world. Readers can apply this knowledge base to their own school
and classroom settings. The 150+ entries serve as intellectual
building blocks to creatively mix into new or existing educational
arrangements and aim for quick, easy reference. Chapter authors
follow a common format that allows readers to more seamlessly
compare and contrast information across entries, guiding readers to
apply this knowledge to their own classrooms, their curriculums and
teaching strategies, and their teacher training programs.
Classroom Motivation is a comprehensive introduction to the
practical applications of research on academic motivation to
teaching and learning. Though grounded in theory, the book is
uniquely structured around instructional practices that teachers
use daily in schools, such as rewards, group activities, academic
tasks, student assessment, and parent interaction. This thoroughly
revised third edition includes new content on interventions,
mindsets, technologies, engagement, and social-emotional learning.
Each chapter’s case studies, application exercises, and updated
empirical findings will further connect preservice teachers with
motivation in practice.

Who cheats and why? How do they cheat? What are the consequences?
What are the ways of stopping it before it starts? These questions
and more are answered in this research based investigation into the
nature and circumstances of Academic Cheating. Cheating has always
been a problem in academic settings, and with advances in
technology (camera cell phones, the internet) and more pressure
than ever for students to test well and get into top rated schools,
cheating has become epidemic. At the same time, it has been argued,
the moral fiber of society as a whole has dampened to find cheating
less villainous than it was once regarded. Who cheats? Why do they
cheat? and Under what circumstances?
The Psychology of Academic Cheating looks at personality variables
of those likely to cheat, but also the circumstances that make one
more likely than not to try cheating. Research on the motivational
aspects of cheating, and what research has shown to prevent
cheating is discussed across different student populations, ages
and settings.
*Summarizes 50 years of academic cheating trends in K-12 and
postsecondary institutions
*Examines the methodology of academic cheating including the effect
of new technologies
*Reviews and discusses existing theories and research about the
motivation behind academic cheating
