Abstract

Background: Grade retention in compulsory secondary education is a commonly adopted action when students have academic achievement problems, but research has shown conflicting results. This study analyzes the relationship of school retention with academic performance, academic self-concept and goal orientation.

Method: A longitudinal design was carried out, with a representative sample (N = 1326) of secondary school students from the Canary Islands (Spain), randomly selected and evaluated for 18 months in four different waves.

Results: The results showed the negative effects of grade retention on academic performance and motivational variables. The capacity of previous performance, academic self-concept and goal orientation to predict the grade retention from six months before was also shown.

Conclusions: These findings show the ineffectiveness of this strategy for the academic development of students, which should lead to educational authorities rethinking its use.

中等义务教育年级保留、学业成绩与动机变量:一项纵向研究。
背景:在义务中等教育中,当学生出现学业成绩问题时,留级是一种普遍采取的措施,但研究显示出相互矛盾的结果。本研究分析了留校与学业成绩、学业自我概念和目标取向的关系。方法:采用纵向设计,随机抽取西班牙加那利群岛(Canary Islands, Spain)中学生作为代表性样本(N = 1326),分4个阶段进行为期18个月的评估。结果:留级对学业成绩和动机变量均有负向影响。以往表现、学业自我概念和目标取向对6个月前成绩保留的预测能力也有所提高。结论:这些发现表明这种策略对学生的学术发展是无效的,这应该导致教育当局重新考虑它的使用。
