This study was to build the theoretical framework to identify the determinants of school achievement. Today, there are many critics that schools fail for student ??o achieve school curriculum and to realize the social equality. Inspite of these ??ritics, the better school and the better education is our consuming intrest. So ?? this study the determinants of school achievement will be investigated.
To investgate the determinants of school achievement I classify the determinants ?? student variables, background variables and school variables and review the ??revious research.
At result, general intelligence, academic aptitude, self-concept and study activity of the student variables were identified significant variables. Of the background variables, socioeconomic status(SES), the level of parents' aspiration, pressure or achievement and the effect community were significant. School variables - teacher's characteristics, quality of instruction, and educational conditions have not any significant effect. But, School climate was significant variables.
To fail to identify the effect of school variables results from research disign. Interaction between school variables and student's characteristics(Averch et al, 1974) or interaction between instruction design and school conditions had been ??eglected in the research design. This critic was very important in research for ??eterminants of school achievement. Especially, in Korean schools, the variety of students is very large. So the degree of interaction would be very high. Therefore this research design should be concidered these points.
