| Popis: | Education is viewed as the keystone for the continued development of Third World nations. Thus, considerable efforts are needed to understand features that contribute to or attenuate students' educational development. The apparent influence of intelligence, socioeconomic status, family size, health and school absences, and gender-related behaviors on achievement is examined for 214 Brazilian children. Relationships between intelligence and general achievement are strong. The relationship is especially noteworthy for reading. In addition, SES is associated with general achievement and math achievement whereas gender-related behaviors are related to achievement motivation. Relationships are drawn between literature in Brazil and the United States. |
