“…Could negative attitudes found among some adolescents be masking other feelings (such as fear, hurt, or embarrassment related to poor academic performance)? As others have stated, a sense of academic competence may well be the most important variable in promoting school engagement among students (Braddock 1990;Frisby& Tucker 1993).Congressional testimony by Iomills Henry Braddock (1990) warned that children who "suffer a crisis in their academic abilities ... will begin adopting counterproductive, effort-avoidant strategies" (51).

Many of theprevailing theories concerning the relatively lowacademic performance of African American students tend to center on the attitudes of adolescents. Much less research attention has been paid to the attitudes ofyoungerstudents. As a result, the image of black adolescents -who, like mostAmerican adolescents, exhibitoppositional attitudes -hascometo represent much of what we know and takefor granted about blackstudents as a group. The findings of this study, basedon data collected in an ethnographic studyof twoall-black elementary schools, suggest that black children begin school very muchachievement-oriented and engaged with theprocess ofschooling. These findings provide evidence that the school experience plays a significant role in the development of attitudes toward school.Perhaps the most pressing concern in education today is the persistence of the black-white test score gap. There is no shortage of attention to this topic in the popular or academic press and in the media.

The impact of the university environment where the professional skills are acquired on self-esteem cannot be ignored.…”

Mathematics self-concept, which can be defined as student ratings of their skills, ability, enjoyment and interest in mathematics, is seen as an important factor in mathematics education. In this context, the purpose of this study was to investigate the elementary school students' mathematics self-concept levels regarding their grade level and gender. Relational survey method was used in this study. The research sample were composed of 281 students, determined by randomly from in a primary and a secondary school in Istanbul in the spring term of 2013-2014 academic year. Data were collected using the "Self-Description Questionnaire-I" developed by Marsh (1992) and adapted in -way ANOVA) and independent sample t-test were employed to analyze data. The results of the analyses indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between elementary school students' mathematics self-concept levels based on their grade levels. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in elementary school students' mathematics self-concept levels points of view gender.
