Book Synopsis Racial Identity Attitudes, Self-Esteem, and Academic Achievement Among African American Adolescents by : Jocelyn Freeman Bonvillain

This book was released on 2004 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which racial identity attitudes and self-esteem could predict academic performance for African American middle school students. A total of 175 African American adolescents in 7th grade attending one of two urban schools participated in the study. The Multi-Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) were used to measure children's feelings toward themselves and their group. Cumulative grade point average (gpa) was used to measure academic achievement. The findings partially supported the hypothesis that racial identity and self-esteem are predictors of academic performance. Self-esteem and racial affiliation were significant predictors of academic achievement, but not the racial identity search component of the MEIM. The results revealed self-esteem to be less predictive of academic achievement than racial affiliation. The second part of the study was to examine the effects of racial identity and self-esteem on African American adolescents' academic performance. The hypothesis was supported. Students who exhibited high levels of self-esteem and racial identity performed better academically than students who showed low levels of self-esteem and racial identity. (Contains 7 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative portrait of student life in an urban high school focuses on the academic success of African-American students, exploring the symbolic role of academic achievement within the Black community and investigating the price students pay for attaining it. Signithia Fordham's richly detailed ethnography reveals a deeply rooted cultural system that favors egalitarianism and group cohesion over the individualistic, competitive demands of academic success and sheds new light on the sources of academic performance. She also details the ways in which the achievements of sucessful African-Americans are "blacked out" of the public imagination and negative images are reflected onto black adolescents. A self-proclaimed "native" anthropologist, she chronicles the struggle of African-American students to construct an identity suitable to themselves, their peers, and their families within an arena of colliding ideals. This long-overdue contribution is of crucial importance to educators, policymakers, and ethnographers.

Book Synopsis Standing Outside on the Inside by : Olga M. Welch
Download or read book Standing Outside on the Inside written by Olga M. Welch and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when increased emphasis is placed on pre-college preparation of disadvantaged students, the number of African American students entering colleges and universities continues to decline and the achievement gaps between these students and their White peers persist. While many enrichment programs report impressive gains, little research on these programs contains the perspective of the Black students. This book presents the results of a longitudinal study of academic achievement and pre-college enrichment of disadvantaged African American adolescents in two inner-city high schools. Through its presentation and analysis of the students' perceptions of pre-college enrichment seen in relation to their definitions of scholarship and the discussion of findings related to parent and teacher involvement, this book provides fresh perspectives on the school experiences of Black adolescents and offers important insights for those involved in both the development and evaluation of enrichment programs.
Book Synopsis Understanding how Black Racial Identity and Demographic, Psychological and Performance Variables Intervene and Relate to Academic Achievement by : Brian Edward Harper
Download or read book Understanding how Black Racial Identity and Demographic, Psychological and Performance Variables Intervene and Relate to Academic Achievement written by Brian Edward Harper and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The examination of a student's racial identity beliefs along with the extent to which being Black is a central part of his or her self-concept provides a novel, insightful approach to explicating the relationship between ethnic identity and academic achievement (Chavous, et. al., 2003). The implications of one's ethnicity are of particular interest to those who seek to understand the academic underperformance of African American adolescents relative to that of other ethnic groups. In an effort to further clarify the role of Black racial identity with respect to academic achievement, this study investigated racial centrality, public regard and private regard beliefs in relation to the attitudes and behaviors that inform academic achievement and the grade point average of African American high school students. A total of 289 public school students completed the Multidimensional Model of Black Identity, School Strategies Scale and an instrument on which they provided demographic data, socioeconomic status, frequency of parental involvement, academic and career aspirations, and academic values. Cluster analyses conducted on the three subscales of the MMBI replicated the four racial identity profile groups previously identified by Chavous et. al. (2003). Additionally, among the ninth grade students in this sample, Alienated students achieved significantly higher grade point averages than did Idealized students. Differences in the achievement levels of racial identity profile groups remained consistent across grade levels. Further, Idealized students reported more frequent instances of parental involvement than did students of other racial identity profile groups. No significant differences were found between racial identity profile groups with regard to number of parents in the home, race of the parents, socioeconomic status, academic and career aspirations, student values and self-regulatory strategy utilization. These results empirically support Fordham and Ogbu's (1988) hypothesis that a strong ethnic association relates negatively to academic achievement among African American students.

Book Synopsis Beyond Acting White by : Erin McNamara Horvat
Download or read book Beyond Acting White written by Erin McNamara Horvat and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Acting White broadens the extant conversation on the Black-White achievement gap that has been dominated by the notion that Blacks underperform in school because they fear (being accused of) "acting white." The authors elucidate the limitations of this explanation by presenting new research that theorizes race as a social phenomenon, unmasks the heterogeneity of the Black experience, and contends with the specifics of social context in the culture and organization of schools and communities.

Book Synopsis Academic Efficacy Among Adolescent African American Males by : Chad David Sims
Download or read book Academic Efficacy Among Adolescent African American Males written by Chad David Sims and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic achievement gap between African American males and their White American counterparts is one of the most researched phenomena in educational and political circles. Current research proposes academic efficacy, sense of school belonging, and racial identity are internal psychological processes which enhance the academic achievement of African American adolescent males, and thus contribute to the closing of this gap. However, very little research has focused on the relationships between these processes and adolescent African American males who attend majority White high schools in middle-sized cities. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between academic efficacy, sense of school belonging, and racial identity. More specifically, this research examined whether sense of school belonging and racial identity are predictors [AS1] of academic efficacy, and if perceived academic efficacy predicted positive academic achievement for African American males in high schools with small African American student populations. To achieve this purpose adolescent African American males who attend majority White high schools in middle-sized cities were surveyed and analyzed [AS2] using linear bivariate and multiple regression. The results indicated [AS3] sense of school belonging and racial attitudes which possess high racial salience had a significant relationship with academic efficacy. The results also indicated academic efficacy predicted positive academic achievement. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research were discussed.
Book Synopsis African American Racial Identity and Its Intersection with Academic Achievement in Adolescent Males by :
Download or read book African American Racial Identity and Its Intersection with Academic Achievement in Adolescent Males written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When compared to other students by race and gender, African American males rank lowest in academic achievement. In this study, grounded theory methods are used to explore and understand how African American adolescent males who were academically unsuccessful previously but are now academically successful, have renegotiated their racial identity and academic identities. Grounded theory methods utilized academic surveys, open-ended one-on-one interviews, and one focus group. The transcriptions and data analysis of the academic surveys and interviews yielded six themes: Racial identity, disconfirming stereotypes, academic identity, support systems, negotiation strategies, and maturity. From the focus group transcript four additional themes emerged: Others' perceptions of the participants, stronger academic identity, participants' changed perception of school, and positive role of sports participation. These themes combined to create a theory that suggests that change in the direction of academic success is supported by strong family support, strong racial identity, and the development of maturity.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Black Anti-Intellectualism by : Kevin O. Cokley
Download or read book The Myth of Black Anti-Intellectualism written by Kevin O. Cokley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do students who belong to racial minority groups—particularly black students—fall short in school performance? This book provides a comprehensive and critical examination of black identity and its implications for black academic achievement and intellectualism. No other group of students has been more studied, more misunderstood, and more maligned than African American students. The racial gap between White and African American students does exist: a difference of roughly 20 percent in college graduation rates has persisted for more than the past two decades; and since 1988, the racial gap on the reading and mathematics sections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) has increased from 189 points to 201 points. What are the true sources of these differences? In this book, psychology professor and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Black Psychology Kevin Cokley, PhD, delves into and challenges the dominant narrative regarding black student achievement by examining the themes of black identity, the role of self-esteem, the hurdles that result in academic difficulties, and the root sources of academic motivation. He proposes a bold alternate narrative that uses black identity as the theoretical framework to examine factors in academic achievement and challenge the widely accepted notion of black anti-intellectualism. This book will be valuable to all educators, especially those at the high school through undergraduate college/university level, as well as counselors associated with academic and community institutions, social service providers, policy makers, clergy and lay staff within the faith-based community, and parents.

Book Synopsis The African-American Male by : Jacob U. Gordon
Download or read book The African-American Male written by Jacob U. Gordon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-07-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plight of the Black male in American society has been well-documented by scholars and practitioners. Although Black males represent only 6 percent of the American population, they represent about 40 percent of the prison population; the number of Black males in prison and jail exceeds the number of Black males in higher education. The homicide rates for Black males were 72.5 percent per 100,000, nearly eight times higher than for White males. This bibliographic volume explores the extent to which American academia has addressed these problems. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers as well as practitioners in social service programs. In addition to more than 400 annotated publications, the book includes a selected list of works on the African American male and a compilation of doctoral dissertations. This publication will serve as a reference in public as well as academic libraries, human service agencies, government policymaking agencies, and in academic courses in gender and ethnic studies, criminal justice, and social psychology.
