Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) predicts that students who attend schools with higher school-average achievement, perceive their academic abilities to be lower compared to equally abled students who attend schools with lower school-average achievement (Trautwein et al., 2009). Such self-perceptions, like self-concept, are recognized to influence students' daily life, behaviour, and academic achievement, as well as their motivation and well-being (Marsh et al., 2019). This makes it important to examine if and how the relation between school-average achievement and student self-concept is influenced by moderation variables like cognitive ability and gender. The overall purpose of the study was to investigate the BFLPE with language and math self-concept, and to see whether the BFLPE varied as a function of cognitive ability, with language and math self-concept respectively. The study draws on data from the Swedish longitudinal project Evaluation through Follow-up (Utvärdering genom Uppföljning, UGU).
