内容説明

Why are so many Black students prematurely leaving school? What factors can be attributed to academic achievement of Black students? Should teachers be less concerned with curriculum content and more sensitive to social and psychological needs? The authors of this volume argue that academic achievement is influenced not only by circumstances found in the individual or family or school settings, but by a whole host of factors, such as social and economic environments, the development of the self-concept, peer pressure, personal attributes such as resources, skills and motivation. The contributors come from a variety of academic disciplines and they cover the full educational cycle from early childhood to tertiary education.
