TLDR
The importance placed on the enhancement of selfconcept is usually based on the premise that high self-concept will lead to feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Publisher Summary Self-concept enhancement activities are included as a component of the school curriculum in some school districts. Also, teachers are sometimes called on to make judgments about the self-concepts of their students as part of the normal classroom assessment and school reporting practices. The importance placed on the enhancement of self-concept is usually based on the premise that high self-concept will lead to feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance. The research summarized in this chapter suggests that the attainment of a positive academic self-concept affects academic behavior, academic choices, educational aspirations, and subsequent academic achievement. The purpose of the chapter is to summarize research on the structure, assessment, measurement, and enhancement of academic self-concept in educational settings. It provides an overview of the theoretical structure of self-concept and the nature of valid and reliable self-concept measurement instruments. It also discusses the relationship of self-concept to other constructs and self-concept enhancement interventions. This discussion focuses on a model of self-concept originally developed by Richard Shavelson and his colleagues and subsequently revised by Marsh in collaboration with Shavelson and other colleagues. Throughout the chapter, the classroom implications of recent advances in self-concept theory and research are discussed.read more

Teaching Adolescents To Become Learners The Role of Noncognitive Factors in Shaping School Performance: A Critical Literature Review

TL;DR: The Chicago Center for Research and Evaluation (CCSR) as discussed by the authors encourages the use of research in policy action and improvement of practice, but does not argue for particular policies or programs, rather, it helps to build capacity for school reform by identifying what matters for student success and school improvement, creating critical indicators to chart progress, and conducting theory-driven evaluation to identify how programs and policies are working.

TL;DR: This study tested theoretical predictions for nationally representative samples of approximately 4,000 15-year-olds from each of 26 countries who completed the same self-concept instrument and achievement tests of the big-fish-little-pond effect, demonstrating the BFLPE's cross-cultural generalizability.

An attributional theory of motivation and emotion
TL;DR: For a long time, the authors have had the gnawing desire to convey the broad motivational significance of the attributional conception that I have espoused and to present fully the argument that this framework has earned a rightful place alongside other leading theories of motivation.

Self-Concept: Validation of Construct Interpretations
TL;DR: For instance, the authors pointed out that education goals have tended to fluctuate from emphasis solely on cognitive outcomes to major concern with social and affective ones, and that the current trend seems to be moving in its emphasis on "humanistic" aspects of education.
