文摘

The few studies that have examined student beliefs by ethnicity have shown differing perceptions on constructs such as self-regulated learning, attribution and perceptions of class climate. Further, the findings have varied from one cultural context to another. However, no studies have examined student beliefs about several psycho-social variables by ethnicity. The current study addressed this gap in the literature by examining student self-concept, motivation, perceptions of class climate and self-expectations of European, Maori, Pasifika and Asian students within the New Zealand context. Several differences were found. The educational implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
