Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if teacher effectiveness, as measured by value-added gain scores on student achievement, was related to the teacher personality characteristics of efficacy and locus of control. The value-added mean gain scores for each teacher were correlated with teachers' scores on the Rand Corporation Efficacy Scale and the Rose and Medway Teacher Locus of Control Scale. A multiple regression analysis was used to determine if these teacher characteristics along with selected demographic variables could be used as good predictors of achievement gain. The population

Abstract:

Minority students are lagging behind their non-minority peers in academic achievement. Compounding this problem is the lack of research on minority students' perceptions on their connections to school, their feelings of autonomy, and their relationship with their parents. These variables are important considerations in this problem, as Ryan and Deci's self-determination theory suggests a strong relationship between student performance in school and students' perceptions of their intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. To address that gap, this cross-sectional, quantitative research study examined

Abstract:

Recently and despite definitional problems, a clearly identifiable group of children has emerged characterized as 'learning disabled' for which programming and hence specialized services are being made available in the Greek state school setting. A more complete description of these children seems necessary in order to find out if and how they differ from other children in personality and whether their academic difficulties have created unique problems for them. The purpose of the present study was, then, to empirically investigate the comparative differences in measures of self-concept (acade

Abstract:

Mayoral control of public schools as a solution for failing schools and low student achievement. This thesis analyzes different models of governance, the types of students served in districts with mayoral control, and the types of solutions implemented by mayors (charter schools, voucher programs, and the tools of NCLB) and whether there has been any success to mayoral control than mere anecdotal evidence.

Fueled by the demand for increased student achievement in schools among many metropolitan cities, an emerging trend in school governance models has gained the attention of mayors, governors, house and senate representatives who have a vested interest in the results of local schools. This trend a move away from the structure of local school board control of schools toward mayoral control of school has been a response many cities sought to implement in the wake of stagnating student achievement.

These constructs are parts of executive function, which governs the brain’s ability to analyze and respond to its own processes. Given that executive function has been linked to number knowledge, expressive and receptive vocabulary, and classroom engagement (Fitzpatrick & Pagani, 2012), we may expect tests of executive function

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the lives and educational achievements of young Indo-Canadians, specifically the high school aged sons of Punjabi parents who immigrated to Canada beginning in the 1970s, and who were born or who have had the majority of their schooling in Canada’s public school system. I examine how these young people develop and articulate a sense of who they are in the context of their parents’ immigration and the extent to which their identities are determined and conditioned by their everyday lives. I also grapple with the implications of identity formation for the educatio

Abstract:

<p> This study was born out of a concern that U.S. community colleges were currently using or considering using noncognitive variables for academic placement without an understanding of how students would react to these scales in a high-stakes setting. While the use of noncognitive variables for placement often stems from a desire to overcome the myriad of limitations of content-based placement tests, the researcher was concerned that noncognitive variables had the potential to become an <i>extension</i> of the problems caused by the test. </p><p> This study was guided by two research questi

Abstract:

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2009.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. [19]).<br>This paper proposes a new robotic planar two-link manipulator design for educational use. Planar two-link manipulators are among the most accessible two-degree-of-freedom robots for students because they function like human arms. As a result they are ideal for laboratory teaching environments. While previous designs using belt-driven arms served adequately, this new design possesses a number of features that w

Abstract:

Bakalauro darbe siekiama ištirti pradinių klasių mokinių, turinčių didelių ir labai didelių specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių, pasiekimus naminių gyvulių pažinimo srityje. Tyrime dalyvavo pradinių lavinamųjų klasių mokiniai, kuriems nustatytas vidutinis ir žymus intelekto sutrikimas. Interviu dalyvavo pedagogai, ugdantys mokinius, turinčius didelių ir labai didelių specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių. Iš viso apklausti 30 mokinių ir 6 pedagogai. Buvo parengtas tyrimo instrumentas – klausimynas. Individualia anketine apklausa siekta atskleisti mokinių požiūrį į naminius gyvulius, turimas gamtamokslines
