Abstract

ABSTRACT The expectancy-value theory of achievement performance and related decisions identifies the various factors that affect achievement levels. The Actiotope Model of Giftedness describes learning and educational resources necessary for high achievement. This study investigates the relationship between these categories of resources and achievement. As social gender norms have been shown to influence decisions in a range of contexts, including college majors, the influence of resources on conformity levels is also examined. We investigated these relationships amongst undergraduate university students from Australia (n = 976) using the Questionnaire of Educational and Learning Capitals (QELC) and Conformity to Feminine Norms-45 (CFNI-45) and Conformity to Masculine Norms-46 (CMNI-46). Results from structural equation modeling indicated that educational capital plays an important role in establishing learning capital, that in turn leads to decreased levels of conformity. This has implications when supporting high ability students, not just in terms of developing resources, but also regarding non-traditional postsecondary fields of study.

教育资源与性别规范:资优行为模式与社会性别规范对成就的检验

成就绩效和相关决策的期望值理论识别了影响成就水平的各种因素。天赋的行动模式描述了取得高成就所必需的学习和教育资源。本研究探讨了这些资源类别与成就之间的关系。由于社会性别规范已被证明在包括大学专业在内的一系列背景下影响决策，资源对一致性水平的影响也被研究。我们使用教育和学习资本调查问卷(QELC)和遵从女性规范-45 (CFNI-45)和遵从男性规范-46 (CMNI-46)在澳大利亚的本科生(n = 976)中调查了这些关系。结构方程模型的结果表明，教育资本在学习资本的建立中起着重要作用，而学习资本的建立反过来又导致了从众程度的降低。这对支持高能力学生有影响，不仅在开发资源方面，而且在非传统的高等教育领域也有影响。

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
