Abstract

This study examines research on high and low achievers with a particular focus on 30 undergraduate students. Critical student achievement behaviors are reviewed using a critical reflective inquiry process. Through the use of a survey, the disparities between student and instructor ratings of student behaviors that contribute to achievement were explored. Preliminary results reveal that a significant difference exists between teacher and student ratings of academic behaviors. Self-assessment and its problematic issues are reviewed, particularly as they relate to increased student awareness and learning.
