Description
Students do well in school when they believe they have the skills necessary to perform tasks, find tasks meaningful, and see their environment as supportive. When these factors are present, students self-regulate and achieve. Gifted underachievers were askedto rate themselves on each of these elements. Their parents and teachers were also asked to rate the same students on these elements. Male students rated themselves lower on self-regulation and female students rate themselves lower on self-efficacy. Parents and teachers appeared to base their perceptions of how meaningful students find school on how well the students self-regulate their academic behaviors.
