Long-term educational goals, subgoals, learning strategies use and the academic performance of college students

This study attempted to answer the question: "What are the direct and indirect effects of long-term educational goals on educational subgoals, learning strategies use and academic performance?" Results from the study showed that long-term educational goals had a direct effect on educational sub-goals and an indirect effect on learning strategies use and academic performance. In addition, the investigation of individual differences related to learning strategies use indicated that when long-term educational goals are accompanied by the accomplishment of educational subgoals and a sufficient number of useful learning strategies, academic performance tended to improve.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/31928/1/0000881.pd

Say My Name: African American Women’s Language

This essay is a call out and a roll call of Black women scholars – Black Feminists, Critical Race Theorists, Intersectionality Theorists and co-conspirators – doing the work of the elder women and ancestors whose shoulders we stand on. I frame the research on African American Women’s Language around Hull, Bell-Scott and Smith’s (1982) seminal book All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave to shout out how language and linguistics researchers got it twisted and need to reckon with truth and say my (language’s) name: African American Women’s Language. And put some respeck on it while you’re at it.24 month embargo; published: 23 December 2021This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
