IDENTIFICATION WITH THE INTELLECTUAL MODELS OF SUCCESS: A SYNERGY TO THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE SUCCESS PATH OF SECONDARY SCHOOL LEARNERS IN CAMEROON
Abstract
The probability of academic success is high when educational models in the family are identical to those institutionalized by the educational system (Gayet, 1997). This article presents the process of identification with success models as a fundamental element in optimizing learners' success path. The sample is made up of 550 secondary school students who filled the questionnaire. Data analyses through the analysis of variation and the student t-test permitted to affirm that knowing and implementing the methods, strategies and schemas used by their models permits the optimization of student's track; and that learners adopt environmental models imposed on them.
