Mathematic Achievement of Canadian Private School Students
Very little Canadian research has examined the academic achievement of private school students. Data from The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 were used to examine the achievement of private school students. The study found that private school students outperformed their public school peers. In addition, the students’ morale, motivation, interest in mathematics, expected education, effort invested in the PISA test, and s…
School Resources and the Academic Achievement of Canadian Students
This study estimates the impact of schools’ physical resources and teachers’ academic press on students’ academic achievement in mathematics and reading when a number of important student variables are controlled. Academic press is defined as teachers' emphasis on academic excellence and upholding academic standards (McDill, Natriello, &; Pallas, 1986). It is often argued that both school and teacher resources affect the educational achievement o…

Causal beliefs, social participation, and loneliness among older adults
Loneliness can be seen as a social failure subject to causal search: Why am I lonely? Why do I lack friends? According to attribution theory, answers to these questions can influence emotions, motivation, and behaviours. This study examined the relationships between various affiliative causal beliefs (i.e., beliefs about loneliness and friendship development), social participation, and loneliness among older adults (72+ years). Cross-sectional an…

Student teachers’ competence and career certainty
In comparison to other professional faculties, student teachers are less certain about their career decisions. Consequently, examining the factors that influence their perceptions of career competence and certainty may be beneficial for their professional development. We examined how student teachers’ (n = 194) gender, grade of instruction, practicum, career anxiety, and perceived control affected their career competence and certainty. Anxiety ha…
Recent Social Trends in Canada, 1960-2000
The introduction summarizes and locates the major waves of change. The authors then document each trend in relation to eighteen thematic groups that include age, community, women, labour, management, stratification, social relations, the state, mobilizing institutions, social forces, ideologies, households, lifestyle, leisure, education, integration, and attitudes and values
Social Capital and Educational Attainment
This research examines the effects of social capital on the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes among a sample of undergraduate university students. A theoretical model containing 14 variables including university and social background, social capital, time management, and educational attainment is presented. The data obtained from questionnaires completed by 269 undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education at a western Canadian…

The Academic Attainment of Ethnic Groups in Australia
Data from a sample of Australian students are used to estimate differences in the academic achievement of and the completion of secondary school by youths from Australian, English, Greek, and Italian backgrounds. The effects of ethnicity are relatively small, but there are important differences between the ethnic groups. Greek and Italian students have lower academic achievement than do Australian and English students, the social psychological su…

Ethnic stereotypes
A la fois comme conséquences et signes de comportement, les stéréotypes (terme créé par Lippmann), ont étéà la base de la littérature des sciences sociales. Edwards a dévelopé le modèle de Lippmann et a présenté quatre dimensions de stéreotypes: contentement, uniformité, direction et intensité. Cette étude examine ces dimensions parmi des étudiants d'écoles secondaires à Winnipeg. Conformément à la théorie d'ethnocentrisme de Sumner, quatre group…

Exploring the Ideology of Canadian Multiculturalism
Ideologies are ill-founded beliefs which are often uncritically held by those whose interests are furthered by such justifications. For reasonable people, ideologies are stifling because they discourage what is essential for a balanced view the judicious consideration of alternative ideas and evidence. In this context, Howard Brotz's (1980) refreshing article on the muddled state of Canadian multiculturalism policy is a welcome contrast to the us…

Ethnicity, Teachers' Expectations, and the Academic Achievement Process in Canada
This research examines the extent to which differences in achievement between German-speaking and French-speaking students are accountedfor by the expectations of their teachers. A causal model incorporating both normative and cognitive expectations of teachers is used. The results suggest that teachers base their expectations on the intellectual ability and previous performance of students rather than upon their ethnicity or other ascribed chara…

Self‐concept and Attitudes
La recherche antérieure sur les étudiants indiens canadiens suggère la formation d'images de soi et d'attitudes négatives en conséquence de leur position dans la société et de la discrimination rencontrée dans la société et dans l'école. La plus grande partie de cette recherche a cependent négligé de comparer les attitudes de ces étudiants avec celles des étudiants non‐indiens qui, on présume, n'ont pas à faire face aux mêmes pressions et situati…
The Social Adjustment of Native Students in a Northern Canadian Hostel
A l'occasion d'une analyse de I'adaptation sociale des étudiants dans une hotellerie du Nord, on a découvert des differences significatives entre celle des Esquimaux, des Indiens et des Métis. Ces résultats contredisent les propositions théoriques avancées par Honigmann (1966) et Weines (1966) qui prétendent que les chances égales fournies par la culture hotelière produiraient les mêmes taux d'adaptation chez les étudiants des trois groupes indig…
