In recent years, important methodological attempts have been made to explore the comparability of examination standards, especially in the context of certifications and university entrance. The present study aimed to explore the use of a construct comparability approach through a comparative analysis of the academic scores on 15 subjects from Spani...
Using various identification methods, differences between underachieving and non-underachieving gifted students in personal, familial, social, and school variables were analyzed in a sample of 164 gifted students with IQs of 120 or higher; the sample was drawn from a larger sample of 1,400 compulsory secondary education students. Three procedures f...
This work aimed to test the invariance of a causal structural model of the determinants of academic achievement in underachieving and non-underachieving students. A theoretical model of the relationships between personal, social, and familial variables and academic performance was derived empirically using data from a large sample obtained in a pre...
This study was designed to examine academic self-concept as a potential mediator to better understand the relations between academic attitudes and academic achievement in early adolescence. A total of 1398 high school students from Alicante, Spain (47% female, M = 12.5 years), participated in the study. Multi-level mediation analyses with Monte Car...

Background
Different studies reveal an association between parent involvement, metacognition, and academic achievement; however, the majority analyse the developmental process of acquisition in experimental or quasi‐experimental designs with students enrolled in child education. Adolescence is an important stage in personal and academic development...
El término underachievement hace referencia a la discrepancia entre la capacidad potencial y el rendimiento académico observado en el alumnado. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es la identificación del alumnado con rendimiento académico menor de lo esperado con base en su capacidad, así como establecer los factores diferenciales que les caract...
Background:
There are few studies in Spain which analyze the influence of individual, motivational and contextual variables, which might be different between underachieving, normally achieving and overachieving students.
Method:
A total of 1,398 Spanish high school students participated. Mixed-effects models were used to analyze data.
Results:...
The present study, based on the construct comparability approach, performs a comparative analysis of general points average for seven courses, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the Partial Credit model (PCM) with a sample of 1398 student subjects (M = 12.5, SD = 0.67) from 8 schools in the province of Alicante (Spain). EFA confirmed a one...
We examined the psychometric properties of the School Attitude Assessment Survey–Revised in a Spanish population (n = 1,398). Confirmatory factor analysis procedures supported the instrument’s five-factor structure. The results of discriminant analysis demonstrated the predictive power of the School Attitude Assessment Survey–Revised scales as rega...
The School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised (SAAS-R) was developed by McCoach and Siegle (2003b) and validated in Spain by Mi-ñano, Castejón, and Gilar (2014) using Classical Test Theory. The objective of the current research is to validate SAAS-R using multidimensional Rasch analysis. Data were collected from 1398 students attending different hi...
El presente estudio realiza una comparación de los métodos estadísticos más empleados en la detección del alumnado con rendimiento menor al esperado; concretamente el método de diferencias estandarizadas, el método de residuales de regresión y el método Rasch. Se empleó una muestra de 1182 alumnos de primer y segundo curso de Enseñanza Secundaria O...
The aims of this work were to identify and establish differential characteristics in learning strategies, goal orientations, and self-concept between overachieving, normal-achieving and underachieving secondary students. A total of 1400 Spanish first and second year high school students from the South-East geographical area participated in this stu...
This study compares the statistical methods employed for detecting underachievement, specifically the simple difference method, the regression method and the Rasch method. A sample of 1182 first- and second-year secondary students from 8 high schools in the province of Alicante participated in the study. The results showed a percentage of underachi...
With respect to intervention related to gifted students, numerous studies highlight the need for teachers to recognise different types of high-ability students and to be aware of the differences in these students' cognitive and motivational characteristics such that they can provide better assistance. A latent class cluster analysis was performed t...

There are very few studies in Spain that treat underachievement rigorously, and those that do are typically related to gifted students. The present study examined the proportion of underachieving students using the Rasch measurement model. A sample of 643 first-year high school students (mean age = 12.09; SD = 0.47) from 8 schools in the province o...
El objetivo principal de este estudio fue la identificación de estudiantes de altas capacidades en una muestra amplia de 1400 alumnos y alumnas españoles de educación secundaria. Las medidas empleadas han sido, un test no-verbal de inteligencia general, una prueba de aptitudes diferenciales de la que se deriva un CI, una prueba de creatividad, y un...

The present study examined the predictive effects of intellectual ability, self-concept, goal orientations, learning strategies, popularity and parent involvement on academic achievement. Hierarchical regression analysis and path analysis were performed among a sample of 1398 high school students (mean age = 12.5; SD =.67) from eight education cent...
El proceso de composición escrita requiere de estrategias que permitan la integración de todos aquellos elementos que componen la formulación de mensajes escritos. En el caso de los trabajos académicos propios de los estudios superiores, estas estrategias deberán ser capaces de integrar procesos de selección, organización y disposición de informaci...
Con demasiada frecuencia se da por sentado que nuestro alumnado universitario dispone, o al menos es consciente de ello, del conocimiento necesario de las estrategias de aprendizaje, pero, tras varios años de experiencia docente en los títulos de Grado, nos preguntamos si esto realmente es así. Indicar que las estrategias de aprendizaje son un elem...
