Research by Thanassoulis and Portela (2002, p.183),
who analysed a large data sample from A level
students concluded...
“a pupil’s own application accounts for the major part
of any under-attainment...”
They go on to suggest that underachievement at A
level is due more to a lack of pupil application than
due to a lack of school effectiveness (2002, P.193).
They conclude that...
“both schools and pupils can contribute to improving
pupil attainment but the larger component can come
from the pupils’ own application...” (2002, p.199).
