  abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine internal and
  abstract: external factors affecting school persistence in students
  abstract: with a pattern of repeated failure on standardized measures
  abstract: of school success. The study examined those factors that
  abstract: contributed to their desire to persist in the educational
  abstract: process. Specifically, the study addressed the continual
  abstract: school involvement of secondary students who were former
  abstract: Chapter 1 students in the Harlandale Independent School
  abstract: District, San Antonio, Texas, whose performance on
  abstract: standardized test assessments had labeled them as "non-
  abstract: mastery" students. The quantitative data for the study was
  abstract: gathered through surveys and the participants' results on
  abstract: their standardized assessments. The qualitative data came
  abstract: from questionnaires and structured interviews. Major
  abstract: research findings for the study indicated: 1. That parents
  abstract: are the most important external factor that influenced them
  abstract: to persist in school after non-mastery on standardized test
  abstract: assessments. 2. Peers had a stronger influence than the
  abstract: faculty on persistence. 3. The internal factors that had the
  abstract: strongest influence on the persistence of students were
  abstract: ability, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-concept and
  abstract: values. 4. The teachers identified internal factors of
  abstract: persistence as influencing academic success. Based on the
  abstract: findings from the study, researcher recommendations included:
  abstract: 1. The involvement of parents in meaningful self-
  abstract: enhancement training programs for redirecting their children
  abstract: who are displaying traits of low self-esteem. 2. That
  abstract: teachers and other staff members receive training on the use
  abstract: of effective methods of using praise and positive feedback
  abstract: that can enhance positive changes in self-attributions.
  abstract: Recommendations for further study included: 1. A study on
  abstract: the impact of communication used by the family and school
  abstract: with students to maximize the students' self-esteem. 2. A
  abstract: study that focuses on teachers' methods or their strategies
  abstract: used for giving feedback to students after failure.
