The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the environmental factors and the family structure on the academic achievements of their children. Among various environmental factors, the family income, the affective relationship between mother and child, and the mother's educational involvement are considered. Total of 164 mothers with children attending elementary school completed the structured questionnaires. The degree of educational involvement of single mothers was lower than that of mothers of both parents families. In order to analyze factors that affect children's academic achievement, the path regression was performed. The family income and the mother-child affective relationship were found to have indirect effects on the academic achievements of elementary school students through maternal involvement in their children's education.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the longitudinal relations between creativity, academic achievements, and utilization of computer & smartphone of middle school students. For this purpose, multivariate latent growth model was verified, using three year longitudinal panel data of Seoul Educational Longitudinal Study(2013-2015). Results indicated that the more students in their first year used computer & smartphone, the better scores they obtained on the creativity and academic achievements. As their grade goes up, while the growth rates of using computer & smartphone and creativity were related positively, the growth rates of using computer & smartphone and academic achievements -even though it was not statistically significant- were related negatively. In addition, the first year students, who obtained high level of scores on the creativity, obtained high level of scores on academic achievements, but this tendency was not significant as their grade goes up.

This study has investigated the way to improve the communication skills emphasized in mathematics education, and analyzed the effects of Communication Oriented Mathematics Lessons on the mathematical disposition and the academic achievements. For this research, two groups of first grade students from D elementary school in Daegu city were selected which had been proved homogeneous in mathematical disposition and academic achievements via a preliminary test. The experimental group was given Communication Oriented Mathematics Lessons (COML) while the control group was given Traditional Classroom-based Instruction (TCI). COML were given along with first grade, first level mathematics for eight weeks, to improve communication skills of the students who were unfamiliar with mathematical communications. The schemes for the education include revising, summarizing, asking questions, and participating. The results of the study were summarized for mathematical disposition and academic achievements. First, COML is effective to evaluate the will to solve problems in the mathematical disposition of the students, and to make it useful for them to live their lives and to learn other subjects. Second, previous studies have shown contrary interpretations on the effects of COML. This study has found that it does not improve the students' scores on the original form of academic achievement test.

This study concentrates on investigating teaching methods with which students of a commercial high school, located in a rural district, can improve their attitude toward mathematics. To begin with, this study examines the causes which make the students take negative views against it through a survey of their current attitude toward mathematics; offers a special class for them to develop a positive attitude toward it: and then, figure out how much they change their academic attitude within the class and how much they improve their academic achievement as well. The results can be summarized as follows: First, the experimental groups showed terribly negative attitudes toward mathematics, and their academic achievements were very low compared with students of academic high schools nearby, Second, thanks to the special class given to improve their attitude toward mathematics, the experimental groups ended up taking a meaningful positive attitude toward it and developing their academic achievements in the subject. On the other hand, the controlled groups without any chance to receive special lessons remained unchanged. Therefore, it is indicated that a special lesson, properly provided, would play an important role to improve students' positive attitude toward mathematics and develop their basic academic achievements.

This study examined how the spatial features, such as the standards of facilities and floor plan of a university dormitory affect the academic achievements. This thesis reports the implications of the management of local universities through the optimization of dormitory environments and provides guidelines for the development of local universities in the face of a decrease in the number of the students. The following results were drawn from a case study of 'S' University which is situated in North Chungcheong Province. First, the students' academic achievements improved with increasing quality of the overall university dormitory. The results show that the dormitory is not only the living space but also the learning space. Considering that an improvement in the students' academic achievements can affect the employment rate of college graduates, providing students with pleasant amenities is very important. Second, the results showed that the academic achievements vary with the spatial characteristics of the residential space; the academic results deteriorated with increasing number of students who share a room. The results of this analysis suggest that a flexible dwelling space that enables the multiple-use residential space to be remodeled into single or double rooms, is very important when facing a decrease in the number of students and the difficult financial stability of the university.

This study was designed to investigate the relation between stress coping behavior and social adjustments in late childhood. Total 657 teenagers (238 ten-year-olds, 230 twelve-year-olds, and 189 fourteen-year-olds) and their parents living in Inchon area participated in the study. Each child was evaluated whether they cope either (a) defensively or (b) actively in several stressful domains by completing the Stress Coping Hating Scales (Korean). Their social adjustments were measured in areas like peer relationship, family relationship, and conformity with Social Adjustment Scales (Korean). The final examination scores were used to rate children’s Academic Achievements. Finally Korean version of Achenbach’s Child Behavior Check List were completed by parents. As results, girls were found to use more defensive strategies to cope stress, showed more conformity and withdrawn behaviors and achieved higher scores academically than boys. Generally younger children tended to adjust better socially than older children. As children grew older they used more and more defensive strategies to cope with everyday stress. Also older children showed more withdrawn behavior and aggressive behavior than younger children. As anticipated children who used more defensive coping strategies were reported to have more behavior problems, showed poorer social adjustments and academic achievements. Children who used more active coping strategies, on the other hands, were reported to haute less behavior problems, adjusted better socially and had better academia achievements. Finally children who adjusted better socially and had high academic achievements were reported to have less behavior problems.
