It also attempted to examine the academic motivation of different types of students in these schools--student types being based on certain combinations of these variables. An intelligence test and questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 506 Form 4 students of four boys' secondary schools in Kingston, Jamaica. Results of the data analysis revealed: 1) significant differences between high- and low-achieving students on Academic Self Concept, Study Habits, Academic Initiative, Persistence, Susceptibility to Distraction, Influence of the Home, and Need for Academic Achievement; 2) there were no significant differences between middle-class, high-ability, high-achieving students and working-class students of similar ability and achievement; and 3) the working-class, high-ability, high-achieving students showed higher motivation than middle-class students of high ability but low achievement 2022-01-18T18:09:17Z 2022-01-18T18:09:17Z 1975 M.A. 1124 http://hdl.handle.net/2139/53223 Main Library, UWISA - UWI Theses Collection
