dc.description.abstract | The findings of this study revealed that there were no significant correlations between the
intrinsic or extrinsic factors and Resiliency or Proficiency. There were, however,
practically significant effect sizes between intrinsic and extrinsic factors and Resiliency
and Proficiency. There were strong associations between intrinsic and extrinsic factors,
meaning that when intrinsic factors in ELs/monitored ELs were present, the extrinsic
factors were also present. ELs and monitored ELs who had more At-Risk factors were in
the Non-Resilient group. There were significant associations found between At-Risk and
English Proficiency factors. The regression analyses reported in this study indicated that
the scores of TELPAS and Proficiency were explained by extrinsic and intrinsic factors
with the same amount of variance when both Resilient and Non-Resilient groups were
included and when only the Resilient group was analyzed. The Resilient group had a
higher percentage of variance explained by the independent variables. The variance of
Average Grade was better explained by the intrinsic factor of Motivation when the
Resilient and Non-Resilient group were analyzed together. ELs/monitored ELs learn better
when teachers incorporate instructional strategies and effective teaching practices in the
classroom. The data revealed that students get support from their teacher in the form of
encouragement and motivation. Furthermore, the students who did not receive help from
their parents at home received it from other family members or from teachers at school. | en |
