This study will yield greater understanding of the relatively new educational psychology construct of academic buoyancy, which defines students' ability to cope with everyday setbacks at school.The project will use the National Pupil Database to examine attendance patterns in England and aims to isolate school-related and societal determinants of students' attendance. In the analysis, emphasis will be placed on disadvantaged pupils, such as those eligible for free school meals. This will also provide a sampling frame. In parallel, the project will involve a systematic review of evidence on academic 'buoyancy' and similar constructs, such as 'resilience', to identify the most promising format for an intervention aimed at increasing buoyancy. The ensuing intervention will then be evaluated in practice as part of a pilot randomised control trial with in-depth process evaluation to establish whether it leads to improved attendance rates.The overarching aim is to determine whether a relationship exists between student academic buoyancy and school attendance. The project may also impact positively on other aspects of students' lives, such as their mental health, wellbeing and attainment potential.

这项研究将使人们更好地理解相对较新的教育心理学概念-学习积极性，它界定了学生应对学校日常挫折的能力，该项目将利用国家学生数据库来研究英格兰的出勤模式，目的是分离出与学校有关的和社会上决定学生出勤的因素。在分析中，重点将放在处境不利的学生，如有资格享受免费校餐的学生。这也将提供一个采样框架。与此同时，该项目将涉及对学术“浮力”和类似结构（如“浮力”）的证据进行系统审查，以确定旨在增加浮力的最有希望的干预形式。随后的干预措施将在实践中进行评估，作为试点随机对照试验的一部分，并进行深入的过程评估，以确定它是否导致出勤率的提高。总体目标是确定学生的学术繁荣和入学率之间是否存在关系。该项目还可能对学生生活的其他方面产生积极影响，例如他们的心理健康，福祉和成就潜力。
