The Importance Of Student Success

People believe that in order to be Smart, you have to become Smart, in other hands the brain works like a machine, the more you teach it, the more it learns. Usually students with a Growth Mindset are most likely to Succeed in Society. The changes that should be changed in Schools is that Students should be Congratulated on how hard they’ve worked on an Assignment etc.,“Wow… that’s a really good score, must of Worked hard” (25). The Researcher has Experimented the students with Test to see how they do and how they react to it. College students may pick up this Article to Study for Child Behavior, Counselors may also read this Article to get an ideal on how and why students Fail or Succeed. Schools should complement on how they're doing their work for it can motivate them, “We found that intelligence praise encouraged a fixed mindset more often than did pats on the back for effort” (25). Comparing the Two Articles “Marita’s Bargain” shows how they got their Intelligence unlike this article which states why students Fail or Succeed. After all, the students should be Praised for their efforts and not their

The way in which students choose to see the results of their academic performance is what makes a student succeed. In “The Secret to Raising Smart Kids” by Carlos S. Dweck, we can see how students react to doing well on a test, some have a negative reaction and other are positive about how they performed. The article talks about how if kids believe one is born being smart they will be expected to do well, therefore will not really see the big benefits of doing good. It is important for students to know what attitude to have in a learning environment. Having a positive attitude versus a negative attitude is most likely to do better in school. In many places schools have been making the school years

Psychologist Carol Dweck found that students perform better if they believe that they are intelligent “you can always greatly change how intelligent you are” than if they think “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you really can’t do much to change it.” She also believes that when a student has a positive attitude, it makes them push themselves harder when others would desist. She believes that there is no limit on their learning potential and challenge is viewed as a way to improve themselves. ” They know that their intelligence can be built through experience and effort, and are not held back by the idea of inborn restrictions.”1

Many students believe that intelligence is fixed, that everyone is given a certain amount, but with practice, intelligence can be grown overtime. Recent research reveals several important factors in student success including, challenging the mind to learn, having a growth mindset, and overcoming personal fears and anxiety. Of these, the most important factors to student success are, challenging the mind to learn and overcoming personal fears and anxiety, because students that challenge the mind to learn enjoy challenging and complex tasks which helps develop and grow the

The first year of college can be very difficult when a student has not planned ahead for a greater chance to succeed. It is often regarded with anticipation and a fear of failing. These feelings can be easily diminished by implementing the right tools that are at the disposal of students. Having the right foundation is crucial and is a key component to a successful first year of college. This will greatly increase the probability that students will return the next year to further pursue a degree in their chosen studies. Some avenues for students to explore are studying before testing for developmental courses, getting to know your staff, learning about different financial sources available, familiarizing

The changes that AHS should make to increase their student success is to make their summers shorter and making more school days. In the story, Gladwell talks about this point and states, “but take a look at the following sets of elementary school test scores results, and see if your faith in the value of long summer holidays isn't profoundly shaken.” (6) It's based off how much time you spend in school and how much effort you want to give. Another big thing is the teachers need to motivate the students more and push them to want them to come to school more often. “Alexander tracked the progress of 650 first graders looking how they scored widely in math and reading skills.”(6) Students with talent are worshiped in their society effort is everything.

This article examines the predictive validity of GPA (also referred to as previous academic achievement), standardized tests (the Graduate Australian Medical School referred to as the GAMSAT) and interviews (which aim to reveal nonacademic qualities) of potential medical students to determine which will be successful in medical school. To accomplish this goal, Sladek, Bond, Frost and Prior conducted a retrospective study using four different cohorts of medical students between the years of 2006 and 2009. The study included the collection of a great amount of data for comparison for the 382 students who participated. Data collected included information from the selection process such as GAMSAT scores, weighted GPA from undergraduate studies and scores from the six domains rated during the interview process. Data collected about the students’ performance while in medical

A question that should be constantly asked by a student who is seeking academic success is: What am I doing right now, to make myself better for the future? This question is most important because it forces a person to reevaluate why they have an desire to further their education. This question ultimately becomes the driving question  while pursuing academic success, but throughout our entire life. Living in a society that constantly strives to have more money, education, and any luxury item, it has become second nature for us to strive for the bigger and better things in life. For a collegiate black woman it is important that we fight against the stereotypes of who we are as individuals. We are thought to be uneducated, loud, angry, and a

Being a college student is not as easy as putting icing on a cake. There are many things a college student must learn. But out of all those those things they must learn, the most important is learning how to become a successful college student. To achieve that, a college student must maintain a good attendance, take advantage of their school’s resources, create a weekly schedule, build relationships with their professors and last but not least, visualize their success.

What do think when you hear student success? Many people think different things. For example, student success could be a student having a good job in something they specialized on, and are living on their own without anybody's help. There are several different ways student succeed and ways to change schools in order for their students to succeed as well in this article. For instance, Anaheim High Schools can improve student success if we have longer school days, make the student be interested in school and on what they are learning, and having more after school programs that interest kids and will keep their minds off of bad things.

There are many aspects that go into a student success. Many of the skills learned from Kindergarten through twelfth grade just are not efficient enough to help you achieve your goals after a student enters college. Our primary education has thought us many things, but what our teachers neglected was to prepare us for much upper level thinking. Professors can help support a student through college by focusing on critically thinking, communication and teamwork skills in order support the success of a student.

Success is different from one person to another. Most people earn their success through hard work and dedication in order to achieve success. Before I began to do research on student success my assumptions were that several students only worried about themselves and their education and that other people or schools did not push them to do better in school. Also before I began to do research, another assumption of mine about student success was that education was similar around the whole world. The type of research that was conducted to find ways of education and student success was done by reading several articles and watching a documentary. Anaheim schools can improve student success by having fewer summer vacations and having longer school hours. Another way that Anaheim schools can improve student success is by having a growth mindset so they can know how much effort they put on there work when facing challenges. Finally the last way to improve student success at Anaheim schools is by requiring students to take extracurricular activities after school like joining a sport, dance, any school clubs, band and more. But several students believe that researchers misunderstand other students when it comes to being successful.

Organization, and time attribute to success in a student's academic career, or at least that is the popular opinion among many adults, but what really helps student become career ready? Among the various research articles I scoured for information, and a documentary I viewed, they all claimed to hold the keys to the development of students, and their knowledge. Furthermore, more time in school, valuing worth ethics over innate abilities, and oblige students to join extracurricular activities, would influence the success of students in a positive manner.

At-risk youth face many difficult factors when attempting to achieve school success. School climate and student support are two of the most important aspects of student success (Malecki & Demaray, 2006; Tsai, Lin, Chiu, & Joe, 2009; Wentzel, 1998). School support refers to student’s perceptions of supportive behaviors, which can come from multiple sources in the school environment (e.g., teachers, staff, peers) in multiple forms (e.g., emotional, appraisal, instrumental, informational) all helping to enhance the student’s functioning and buffer from adverse outcomes (Malecki & Demaray, 2006, Tardy, 1985). Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a college readiness system which helps to build positive school supports for students in the academic middle. Research has shown that AVID produces higher graduation and college completion rates for minority students (Guthrie & Guthrie, 2000; Huerta, Watt, & Reyes, 2013; Watt, Huerta, & Alkan, 2011; Watt, Powell, Mendiola, & Cossio, 2006.) Other research has looked at positive classroom environment, individual determination, and close relationships with AVID instructors that could play a role in student’s success in college (Mendiola, Watt, & Huerta, 2010; Watt, Johnston, Huerta, Mendiola, & Alkan, 2008). While recent research has started to examine the underlying impacts of AVID, minimal research has been completed in relation to AVID’s effectiveness from the students’ perspectives.

Motivation is an ability that cannot be taught in class, but must be acquired through one’s upbringing and experiences, whether they be social, personal, or any other. Intelligence is nothing without some sort of motivation, and teachers such as Angela-Lee Duckworth, a psychologist studying at the University of Pennsylvania, remain “convinced that every one of [their] students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough”(Duckworth). In fact, studies ranging from military academics to spelling bees prove that success can be predicted by one’s grit. The determination and focus of any person in any field is bound to bring him more success than the person who does not exert effort and simply glides along. While there may always be “highly intelligent students...who sleep during class yet manage to ace a test,”(Lasalle) they are not applying themselves and are unlikely to succeed in the future. The lack of resolve shown in early life will most likely persist throughout one’s adult career, limiting the amount of success that he can obtain. It is illogical to use one’s level of education as a sole component of intelligence as motivation is key to utilising intelligence.
