Development and Validation of the Mathematical Resilience Scale (2016, background): “The student may observe—and also compare themselves with—higher ability students who complete work and respond to questions from the teacher with relative ease and comfort (Chiu et al., 2008).”
Self-esteem of academic and vocational students: Does within-school tracking sharpen the difference? (2012, background): “Self-esteem pertains to the global evaluation of the self, the individual’s overall assessment of his or her value or worth (Chiu et al., 2008; Trautwein et al., 2006).”
Tracking Effects Depend on Tracking Type (2013, background): “…track level to be positively associated with students’ academic self-concept, which could be an indication of strong assimilation effects (Chiu et al., 2008; Oakes, 1985); others reported no association between students’ mathematics track and their mathematics self-concept (Fuligni,…”
