Examples of Academic Risk Factors in the following topics:
-
- Students at risk for dropout based on academic risk factors are those who often have a history of absenteeism and grade retention, academic trouble, and more general disengagement from school life.
- Students may also be at risk for dropout based on social risk factors.
- Sociologists tend to group dropout risk factors into different categories, including academic risk factors and school-level risk factors.
- Academic risk factors relate to the performance of students in school.
- School structure, curriculum, and size may increase the exposure of students to academic risk factors.
-
- In the United States, the term "academic" is approximately synonymous with that of the job title professor, although in recent decades a growing number of institutions include librarians in the category of "academic staff. "
- The degree awarded for completed study is the primary academic qualification.
- "Academic capital" is a term used by sociologists to represent how an individual's amount of education and other academic experience can be used to gain a place in society.
- Much like other forms of capital, social capital, economic capital, and cultural capital, academic capital doesn't depend on one sole factor but instead is made up of many different factors, including the individual's academic transmission from his/her family, status of the academic institutions attended, and publications produced by the individual.
- Numerous studies have been done involving the idea of academic capital, and scholars have disagreed on what counts as academic capital.
-
- Tracking sorts students into different groups depending on academic ability; however, other factors often influence placement.
- Tracking sorts and separates students by academic ability.
- Students attend academic classes only with students whose overall academic achievement is the same as their own.
- Since high self-esteem is correlated with high academic achievement, tracking should, theoretically, promote academic success.
- Although track assignment is theoretically based on academic ability, other factors often influence placement.
-
- It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine.
- Durkheim formally established the academic discipline and, with Karl Marx and Max Weber, is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science and father of sociology.
-
- Debates continue in and among academic disciplines as to how race should be understood.
- There is a subset of conditions for which individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent are at increased risk.
- Based on this knowledge individuals can be offered genetic testing based on their race, which can determine whether they are at increased risk to have a child with one of these conditions.
- They argue that disease risk factors differ substantially between racial groups, that relying only on genotypical classes - differences in genes - ignores non-genetic racial factors that impact health (e.g., poverty rates and robust neighborhood and environmental effects) and that minorities would be poorly represented in clinical trials if race were ignored.
- Because race remains a significant factor in social life, sociologists feel compelled to study its effects at multiple levels.
-
- Second, gifted and talented youth are inherently at-risk.
- According to the report, gifted youth are more likely than average to experience academic failure and to develop social and emotional problems.
- More general definitions of giftedness may also evaluate students' capability in areas like intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields.
- Pull-out programs are generally ineffective at promoting academic achievement since they do not align with the regular curriculum.
- These could include formal programs like Odyssey of the Mind or academic competitions like National History Day.
-
- A 1993 study by Kosmin & Lachman indicated that people without a religious affiliation appeared to be at greater risk for depressive symptoms than individuals affiliated with a religion.
- An analysis of over 200 studies contends that high religiousness predicts a lower risk of depression, a lower risk of drug abuse, fewer suicide attempts.
- A review of 498 peer-review academic studies revealed that a large majority of them showed a positive correlation between religious commitment and higher levels of perceived well-being of self-esteem.
-
- For instance, a researcher dealing with an organized crime syndicate might be concerned that if his subjects were aware of the researcher's academic interests, his physical safety might be at risk .
- Valid consent means a participant is aware of all relevant context surrounding the research they are participating in, including both risks and benefits.
- This harm could occur either in terms of the distress that subsequent knowledge of deception may cause participants and others, or in terms of the significant risks to which deception may expose participants and others.
-
- School violence is a serious problem in the United States, and attempts to explain it identify both individual and social risk factors.
- Attempts to explain school violence have identified several individual and social risk factors.
- Individual risk factors include a tendency to externalize problems, or "act out," as well as developmental delays, low IQ, and reading problems.
- Social risk factors include an unstable home environment, violent neighborhoods, and certain characteristics of a school environment.
- Recall the risk factors for school violence in the U:S. and the two types of bullying
-
- Since its introduction into the academic literature in 1995, Stereotype Threat has become one of the most widely studied topics in the field of social psychology.
- Stereotype Threat is a potential contributing factor to long-standing racial and gender gaps in academic performance.
- Situational factors that increase Stereotype Threat can include the difficulty of the task, the belief that the task measures their abilities, and the relevance of the negative stereotype to the task.
