Influences of internal and external frames of reference on the formation of math and English self-concepts.

Abstract: Data for this study were obtained from the second follow-up of the sophomore cohort of the High School and Beyond Study, with 14,825 students from 1,015 schools involved. Mathematics and English self-concepts were found to be, (1) uncorrelated desoite a substantial correlation between mathematics and English test scores; (2) influenced by internal and external frames of reference; and (3) negatively affected by school-average achievement. The internal/external frame of reference model posits that a student's s… Show more

“…According to the internal/external frame of reference model of self-concept development (Marsh, 1990;Möller, Pohlmann, Köller & Marsh, 2009), the validation results could also evidence the impact of dimensional comparison effects across both language subjects under consideration. This theoretical framework explains the impact of social (external) and dimensional (internal) comparison processes on the formation of academic self-beliefs and assumes, in particular, the students' academic competence beliefs in a certain domain or subject being primarily affected by social comparison -that is, by perceiving their classmates mainly displaying worse, equal, or better outcomes.…”

“…The same held for those learners with relatively high English self-concept scores who report clearly lowered affective value scores in German. Typically, these negative relations might have reflected internal (dimensional) comparison processes in so far as individual perceptions of high competencies in one domain lead to cognitive or affective reduced self-estimations in the other domain -thus producing a comparison-dependent contrasting effect on the formation of domain-specific self-concept components (Marsh, 1990).…”

“…Elever som er faglig sterke i naturfag vil for eksempel ha høyere selvoppfatning i en gjennomsnittlig naturfagklasse enn elever med samme kunnskapsnivå i en høytpresterende klasse. Marsh (1990) kaller denne effekten for «Big fish Á little pond» -effekten (BFLPE). Deltakelse i opplegg for høytpresterende elever vil, ut fra denne teorien, øke risikoen for redusert selvoppfatning i faget.…”

“…«Big-fish-little-pond»-effekten (BFLPE) peker på risikoen for redusert selvoppfatning og motivasjon ved inndeling av elever i prestasjonslike elevgrupper (Marsh, 1990). Analysene i denne studien avdekket ingen større endringer i elevenes selvoppfatning eller motivasjon.…”

“…The internal/external frame of reference model as presented by Marsh (1990) provides a theoretical perspective to explain the impact of social (external) and dimensional (internal) comparison processes on the formation of domain-or subject-specific self-concepts in academic settings. It assumes that the students' academic competence beliefs in a certain domain or subject are primarily affected by social comparison -that is, by perceiving their classmates mainly displaying worse, equal, or better outcomes.…”
