Marsh, Herbert W.; Abduljabbar, Adel Salah; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Parker, Philip; Abdelfattah, Faisal; Nagengast, Benjamin; Abu-Hilal, Maher M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
Extensive support for the seemingly paradoxical negative effects of school- and class-average achievement on academic self-concept (ASC)-the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE)--is based largely on secondary students in Western countries or on cross-cultural Program for International Student Assessment studies. There is little research testing the…

We use the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) database to examine the…

Sjøberg, Svein; Schreiner, Camilla – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2005
The position of science and technology (S&T) in a society changes through time and from one society to another.

In this article, the…
