Presentation
The revista española de pedagogía (Spanish Journal of Pedagogy or rep) is one of the oldest journals in the world dealing with pedagogical research. During the several decades it has been published, the revista española de pedagogía has always maintained the highest standards of quality and it has gained international awards.
The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.
The Home page includes a summary of the articles published in the last number of the Journal .

The aim of this work is to analyze the differential characteristics of
the students with high and low academic achievement in some variables
of cognitive-motivational nature. As a rule, the results indicate that
the group of high academic achievement attributes more their successes
to ability and effort, it has highest learning and achievement goals,
and presents a highest academic self-concept. On the contrary, the
group of low academic achievement attributes more their results of
success to the context; it attributes their failure results to ability
and effort, and their results of success and failure to luck. Antonio Valle Arias, Ramón González Cabanach, Susana Rodríguez Martínez, Isabel Piñeiro Aguín y José Manuel Suárez Riveiro Key words: Causal attributions, Academic self-concept, Motivation, Academic achievement. |
