Abstract

This research is aimed educationally disadvantaged at examining children and the characteristics of providing some helpful proposals for them. I am particularly interested in how tracking affects their self-concept and behavior, covertly as well as overtly, and what teachers can do to help enhance their self-esteem in the classroom. My basic argument is that by building the students' self-concept, teachers will help students become motivated to succeed not only in school, but also in their daily lives.
