School Morale And Self-Esteem Involving Adolescents With Learning Disabilities, Ted E. Barrett

Master's Theses

A student's cognitive achievement may be facilitated or repressed by various elements that constitute his affective character; his feelings, attitudes, and expectations form a substantial relationship with achievement.
