Self-Concept and Academic Achievement: Investigating Their Importance as Discriminators of Academic Track Membership in High School.
Byrne, Barbara M.
Canadian Journal of Education, v15 n2 p173-82 Spr 1990
Using linear discriminant analysis, two samples of Canadian high school students (n=929 and n=968) were tested using measures of self-concept, academic self-concept, and academic achievement. Academic self-concept was more effective than was academic achievement in differentiating between low-track and high-track students. (SLD)
