Carol Midgley focuses on Academic achievement, Mathematics education, Social psychology, Developmental psychology and Goal orientation.
His studies in Academic achievement integrate themes in fields like Social relation and Self-efficacy.
His studies deal with areas such as Pedagogy and Early adolescents as well as Mathematics education.
The Adolescent development research Carol Midgley does as part of his general Developmental psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Social environment, Social perception and Multilevel model, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Moderation is closely connected to Academic competence in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Goal orientation.
