The Factors Effecting Student Achievement

Abstract

The effect of expectation on student achievement was examined in this meta-analysis study. A total of 1641 research studies were collected during the literature review, out of which 67 were included in the meta-analysis. The sixty seven research studies which included 126 correlation coefficients were compiled to obtain a sample size of 104,926 subjects. The results of the random effect model showed that expectation has a medium-level positive effect on student achievement . The moderators identified for the study were the type of publication , sample group (education level), school subject or assessment type, country (culture) , the year of the studies and the source of expectation, out of which publication type , country and source of expectation were found to be the moderator variables .
