Author: Allison M. RyanPublisher: IAP
ISBN: 1617358096
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
This volume brings together an impressive array of respected scholars to examine the varied and complex ways in which peers influence adolescents’ beliefs and behaviors in the school context. The breadth of peer influence on academic and social adjustment is evident in the wide variety of topics covered in the present volume. Throughout the chapters, scholars provide unique insights regarding the complex ways that the academic and social spheres of adolescents’ lives are interconnected. Collectively, the chapters in this volume expand current knowledge and theory in peer relations research by (a) exploring different types of peer relations (e.g., close friendships, peer groups) and different peer dynamics (e.g., popularity, bullying) that emerge in the school context, (b) examining different processes that explain why and how peers influence each other in school, (c) considering developmental issues during adolescence that may be critical to understanding peers and adjustment at school and (d) providing information about how teacher practices or programs influence peer relations and school adjustment. Peer Relationships and Adjustment in School is an important volume for researchers and practitioners interested in social development, peer relationships and youth engagement and achievement in school.

Category : Academic achievement
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Schools are inherently social environments with adolescents spending the majority of their time immersed in academia and peer groups. Furthermore, it is important to understand the dynamics of adolescent peer groups because they can provide support; give the perception of being part of a group, as well as provide the feeling of acceptance which are all key variables contributing to one's academic motivation and achievement. This literature review will examine the influence peer groups have on one's academic motivation and achievement. More importantly it will discuss the importance in understanding the underlying forces of peer groups school counselors can be prepared to respond to both positive and negative peer pressures
