Funded Activity Summary

The Impact of Training in Self-Directed Learning Upon the Self-Regulation, Academic Resilience, and Achievement Motivation of Female Adolescents. In adolescence, girls appear less willing to work independently or take academic risks. This innovative effort to provide systematic training in learning to work independently may perhaps circumvent conscious underachievement in school, as well as provide teachers with concrete methods for this circumvention. The innovation of the intervention itself will be its systematicity in incorporating self-direction skills within regular coursework in history rather than presenting it as a "stand alone" curriculum. Of import to researchers will be the assessment of "growth" in constructs heretofore theorized well, but not well measured: academic resilience, achievement motivation, and self-regulation.
