Funded Activity Summary

New Solutions For Maximising Aboriginal Students' Potential: The roles of self-concept and motivation in making a real difference to desirable educational outcomes. Aboriginal students remain the most educationally disadvantaged Australians. Enhancing students? self-concept and motivation are advocated by Aboriginal people as vital educational outcomes and critical mediating variables for other desired outcomes such as improved academic achievement, engagement, and participation. Considerable advances in self-concept and motivation research with non-Aboriginal students have not yet been extended to fully benefit Aboriginal students. The proposed investigation seeks to extend these advances to Aboriginal students and through this identify new solutions for enhancing their educational outcomes. Specifically, it seeks to elucidate the impacts of self-concept and motivation and identify strategies for enhancing Aboriginal students' educational outcomes.
