Sir Ken Robinson said, "We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it or rather we're educated out of it."' Throughout my education I have found this statement to be true especially in it's relation to high school education in America. This lack of creativity-based education is the inspiration for this thesis work. As a high school student I was able to participate in a few robotics competitions, such as FIRST Robotics Competition, that enabled me to begin thinking creatively about problems. These competitions were focused on allowing students to gain engineering experience and inspiring them to pursue a degree in a science or technology field. However, the competitions tended to primarily attract students who are already interested in these fields. This thesis will propose and provide motivation for an Internet-centric, national product design competition for high school students that will teach and inspire the use of creativity for a wide range of students that have interests in many different fields. This document begins with highlighting and outlining the main competitions, programs, and classes that have been drawn on for the creation of this competition. Then, the main motivation and goals of the competition are outlined. Lastly the structure of the competition and the online community is described. The competition proposed in this thesis is perhaps a utopian ideal structure that requires further development and consideration before it can be implemented in the high school setting. Some future development includes surveying high school teachers on the practicality of such a competition in relation to their personal experiences with the interest level and capabilities of high school students.
(cont.) Also a large a part of the future work would include the development and testing of the online community as a portal for high school students to learn and share about product design. Lastly, future work will involve an intensive analysis of the financial requirements incorporated with the implementation of a competition of this nature.

This study was conducted to obtain the views and recommendations of urban high school principals regarding the principals themselves, their schools, students and communities, and the professional growth needs of the principals. The study will also serve as a resource for the National Association of Secondary School Principals' Urban Schools Committee as it develops programs and activities to assist urban high school principals. Eight hundred fifteen of 1,259 urban high school principals responded to a survey. Descriptive research methodology was used in the study of the principals from the one hundred largest cities, according to population, in the nation. The majority of the principals were white males who averaged 50 years in age. There are more black and female high school principals in the urban districts (26% and 22.1% respectively) than there are in rural and suburban districts (3.8% and 12% respectively). These principals view student absenteeism as the greatest hindrance to academic achievement. They believe they have moderate authority over what takes place in their buildings and tend to be satisfied with their positions. The urban principals believe their students' academic competencies are average to below average. They also believe 80% or more of the students are having their needs met by teachers who they consider to be above average. The majority (74.5%) are members of NASSP. The results of the study indicate NASSP should initiate professional growth programs that bring recognition to urban high school principals and meet their unique needs.

Being bullied has been recognized as a problem within the U.S. school systems. Individuals who have been bullied physically, verbally, relationally, or electronically typically suffer from mental health problems as a result. As it has been shown that males are more at risk for being bullied, it is important to understand what variables can predict males being bullied in order to design appropriate preventions and interventions to curb bullying in the schools. Four forms of school bullying behaviors among U.S. adolescent males and their association with type of bullying, school environment, and school performance and engagement variables were examined. Data were examined from the National Crime Victimization Survey School Crime Supplement. A sample of 1,636 males ages 14 to 18 was used from the survey. A series of logistic regression analyses were performed for each type of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, and cyber) and school environment (presence of gangs, guns, graffiti, drugs, and number of school safety measures in place) and school performance and engagement predictors (grades, extracurricular activity engagement, truancy, and number of fights). Linear regression analyses were also used to look at all the predictor variables and the frequency of each type of bullying. Results: The R2 values for the logistic regression analyses were quite small. However, trends could be observed from the odds ratios showing that fighting, drug availability, and graffiti were predictive of all four forms of bullying. The linear regression analyses also produced small R2 values. Effect plots were created to identify which significant variables had a greater effect on the frequency of being bullied. Conclusion: Schools should focus on removing graffiti and drugs from the schools. Prevention work should be used to help students find alternative ways to deal with problems other than resorting to fighting. Problems with reliability and validity of the survey are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to compare the Title IX compliance trends of high school sports in Florida over the past two decades (1985-2005) against national trends. The literature review discusses: the historical events leading to Title IX, the administrative implementation of Title IX, the legal perspective of Title IX, and the impact of Title IX on gender equity in sports. The study was conducted between January and June, 2007. The data focused on: male and female participants in high school sports in Florida, the numbers of male and female participants in high school sports across the nation, and enrollment figures of high schools in both Florida and the nation. The results indicate there was no significant difference between national Title IX compliance trends and Florida Title IX compliance trends in high school sports during 1985 through 2005. In fact, there was widespread non-compliance with the substantial proportionality of Title IX, with some improvements in compliance over time. Future research should focus on other strategies to comply with Title IX.

The purpose of the study was to make an assessment of Arkansas middle school/junior high art programs using National Art Education Association standards. Data were collected from questionnaires, curriculum guides, and school visitations. Participating in the study were 127 schools enrolling 53,502 students of which 14,755 (28%) were taking art classes. For comparisons, the state was divided into five regions.

This mixed-methods study explored the instructional methods that accomplished high school English teachers use in their classrooms to improve understanding of how those methods are influenced by the teachers' beliefs. A survey regarding classroom practices and beliefs was sent to 313 National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) in English Language Arts--Adolescence and Young Adulthood across the United States with a response rate of 50.8%. From these data, I analyzed the variety and frequency of practices experienced teachers use and the beliefs that influence teachers' instructional decisions. I then conducted follow-up interviews and classroom observations with selected survey participants from North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio and explored further the beliefs and motivations of those teachers who were both typical and outlying according to their survey responses. The study found that factors such as school setting, educational level, and gender had little impact on teachers' instructional strategies, although a relationship was found between gender and approach to teaching literature. The study also found that reading instruction dominated the classroom instruction of those teachers, with writing instruction a distant second. In addition, those NBCTs were found to be teachers who developed positive relationships with students, created student-centered classrooms, challenged students academically, and were dedicated to being lifelong learners. In the end, 3 distinct teacher types were identified: teachers who focus on English as a discipline, teachers who focus on more generalized educational goals, and teachers who focus on their students' emotional well-being. However, the study suggests that all the teachers who participated in the study formed a fairly homogenous group regardless of their differences and that teachers' own educational experiences in school played a more significant role in determining their classroom behaviors than did their educational beliefs.

Taiwan’s vocational high school, which is under the protection of the Taiwanese government, is facing multiple challenge today because of the changing internal and external environment, the approaching of knowledge-based economy, the impact of the market opening, population reduction, education reform, shortfall of educational budget, and suspended certificate system. In order to maintain competitiveness, reforms are inevitable. Vocational high school can learn from business in formulating strategies that strive for profit and sustainable operation. Therefore, this research borrows from the concept of business strategies developed by Michael Porter and applies to one of the Taiwan’s vocational high schools. Michael Porter developed the Five-Force Model to analyze the current situation from potential and new entrants, competitive rivalry between firms, substitutes, customers and suppliers. The corresponding analogies regarding the porter’s Five Forces are : 1.Threat of New Entry: The threat from the educational market opening after joining WTO and the opening of technology college entrance examination for high school students. 2.Competitive Rivalry: The impacts of decreased number of vocational high schools and the strengthening recruiting strategy of private vocational high schools. 3.Threat of Substitution: The threat from high schools, including comprehensive high schools. 4.Buyer Power: Influence of students, faculties, education industry and parents. 5.Supplier Power: The threat from the decreased number of junior high students, lower income and changes of teaching method. Six strategies proposed for current vocational high schools are listed below: 1.Developing distinctiveness of each vocatioinal high school. 2.Build strategic alliance. 3.Promoting English teaching environment. 4.Using school funds effectively. 5.Implementing community high schools with government policies. 6.Promoting lifelong-learning capabilities of teachers.

Purpose：The study aims to analyze the main scoring techniques, technical movements and preparatory action among high school wrestlers in Taiwan, investigate how lightweights, middleweights and heavyweights differ in these aspects, and research into the differences between the elite group and normal group in terms of their scoring techniques and the preparatory action. Method: After National High School Athletic Games, the data was collected based on the films provided by the committee and was analyzed by using the video-based observation and analysis method. The participants are 99 male contestants of different weight classes in Freestyle wrestling. With Inter-observer agreement analysis, the data was quantized and used to perform statistical analysis. Results: The percentage of the 2-point scoring techniques was the highest for wrestlers of all weight classes; Rool and passing behind were used most frequently. No significant difference in the elite group and normal group was reported. Besides, according to the statistical analysis, the greatest percentage of the scoring techniques was the ones with preparatory motion for the wrestlers of all weight classes, with the highest percentage of “upper-body control and press” for 4-point techniques and “counterattack after defense” and “consecutive scoring” for 2-point techniques. The results were not significantly different for the elite group and normal group. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that wrestlers should switch between techniques of defense and attack continuously, with the 2-point techniques as the main scoring skills. Also, it is easier for wrestling athletes to score by using attack techniques with preparatory motion (real attacks after fakes).

The theme of this research is to study what kind of Curriculum Development problems the Educational Administration would face in the process of transforming National Taitung Senior High School into a Comprehensive High School. This study is mainly based on the analysis of the documents. The data sources are: Taitung Senior High School Program Plan Curriculum Development group records School Affairs Conference Records Teachers’ research meeting records Questionnaires and interviews with relevant professionals In order to make the essence of this research clear, SWOT Model is used to explain the Strengths 、Weaknesses 、Opportunities 、Threats. The most suitable programs and subjects in this school are well planned. This research contains four purposes. First, using SWOT analysis, we can evaluate the sources of students, the conditions of school environment, the resources of community education and decide the directions to develop our school. Second, to analyze Curriculum Development and find the best method of transformation of the two kinds of high schools. Third, to study the difficulties and solutions for implementing the Comprehensive High School education system. Fourth, to set up Curriculum Development of the school and Dynamic Mechanism. The conclusions of this research are as follows: First, National Taitung Senior High School is located in the Taitung County. It is a school with a long history, great educational achievements, and without the problems of students shortage. But the students’ abilities in taking Chinese S.A.T. differ a lot. In order to increase students’ aptitude achievement, the transformation into a Comprehensive High School is the best choice. Facing the current rate of the teachers’ retirement, it is possible to hire suitable new teachers for the new professional programs. Second, during the transformation into a Comprehensive High School, the most difficult task lies in choosing proper Programs and planning the Curriculum. If we offer Professional Programs according to the teachers and equipment available, the students may not be willing to choose them. The choices of the Professional Program should fit the students’ abilities, aptitude, interests and the need in the economic development of the country. Its Academic Programs design should be different from those of the Ordinary Senior High School. In this way, the students can have aptitude achievement, and our school can profit from making the transformation. At the beginning stage of changing into a Comprehensive High School, we will offer students Academic Programs, including Applied Foreign Language Programs, Applied Information Programs, Lessons for Sports and Leisure Programs. From school year 92, we will replace Lessons for Sports and Leisure Programs with Computer Technology Programs. The Curriculum Development of the Academic Programs will be changed in order to fit the need of the students. This part is explained in appendix 9, the Report of the Second Course Committee. Third, while putting the Comprehensive High school educational systems into practice, we face some difficulties. 1. We don’t have the budget to hire enough vocational teachers. 2. Our facility capacity is not large enough. 3. We do not have enough Counseling Service teachers. 4. Suitable textbooks are scarce. The solutions are as follows: 1. To cooperate with nearby Vocational High Schools in the same community, we can let our students choose their vocational courses. 2. We can only offer selective subjects according to demand. 3. By inviting volunteers to help with School Counseling Service, we can offer Program Counseling in three ways simultaneously. We’ll adopt Senior High School textbooks for the Academic Program track, and Vocational High School textbooks for Professional Program track. Fourth, for the purpose of providing every student with suitable Programs and Curriculum, our school has set up a Curriculum Development and Regulation Operating Mechanism. The organization is divided into five groups. (1) We will organize an experimental research group to be in charge of Program Planning and Curriculum Planning for every grade student in Academic Affairs Office. (2) We will organize a Curriculum Committee to collect the opinions among the teachers of all the subjects, make the Curriculum Plans and revise the plans. (3) We will organize a Course Committee to check the Program Plans and the Preliminary Curriculum Plan made by Academic Affairs Office. (4) We will hold Teachers’ Research Meetings on every subject in order to discuss the problems related to teaching and Curriculum. (5) We will hold School Affairs Conference to decide the Program Plans and the Preliminary Curriculum Plan made by the Course Committee by vote. The Administration Organization system and Operating Mechanism are shown in Picture 5-1-1. It represents Program, Curriculum Development and Organization and the picture of Dynamic Process Chart.

Abstract Taiwan is an island country; it lacks natural resources. Therefore shipping plays an important role not only for economic development but also for the national security. Due to traditional value and the decrease of birth rate, the marine vocational schools faces a difficulty to recruit sufficient students to enroll the class. In addition, the limit of STCW, the graduates from marine vocational school can not work onboard the ocean going vessel; it discourages the junior high school graduates to join the marine vocational school. As a results, almost all the said departments are closed except which of Keelung marine vocational high school. Furthermore, maritime education and training is negligent among seven groups of vocational education. This results in little appropriate from government which aggravates the hardship to run the school continuously. In order to keep a limited quantity of rudimentary personnel for the Taiwanese shipping and fish ring industry, maritime education and training in this country should enforce. Therefore, the educational strategy for Keelung marine vocational high school must change, hopefully, the school can recruit sufficient students for maritime education and training. This study refers to various systems of maritime education and training of the advanced maritime countries, complying with national normality, industrial requirement, and adapting to social change submits a transformational strategy for Keelung marine vocational high school, thus, school can be run and Taiwan shipping can be managed prosperously.

The purpose of this study was to explore the current situation of high school and vocational school students' referendum knowledge and political attitudes, and discuss the variations based on different personal background variables (gender, grade, curriculum, class cadre experience, media contact frequency, family socioeconomic status and family gross annual income.) The participants in this study were high school and vocational high school students in the academic year 105 from National Chi-Mei High School. A total of 721 questionnaires were distributed to the students by the teachers and 636 valid surveys were collected. The questionnaires were analyzed using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, t-test and variance analysis. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (i) The referendum knowledge and political attitudes of current high school and vocational school students were above the average. (ii) With regard to high school and vocational school students’ referendum knowledge, "citizen participation" was the highest, "referendum process" was the second highest, and the lowest was the "referendum act." (iii) Regarding the political attitudes, the "feelings of political efficacy" score among the high school and vocational school students was the highest, the second highest was the "sense of citizen duty" and the "political trust" was the lowest. (iv) In terms of the referendum knowledge and political attitudes discussed in the study, the first grade students performed the best. (v) For high school and vocational high school students with different personal backgrounds, there were some significant differences concerning the referendum knowledge and political attitudes. -a) There were no significant differences in gender, grade, class cadre experience, media contact frequency, family social status and family gross annual income. -b) High school students scored distinctively higher than vocational school students in the part of the referendum knowledge and political attitudes. (vi) For high school and vocational high school students, no significant correlation was found between referendum knowledge and political attitudes. (vii) After summarizing the research results and giving practical recommendations, the author hopes to continually explore referendum knowledge and legal knowledge in more depth, in order to help current high school and vocational school students take the responsibility to strengthen and deepen Taiwan’s democracy after taking the civil and social education courses.

This study tried to explore the EFL reading strategy use of senior high school students. It explored the general reading strategy use and the compensation strategy use of EFL high school students with different English proficiency levels. The subjects of the study included ninety-three students from two third-year classes of National Yuan Li Senior High School. The most-proficient (MP) and least-proficient (LP) were chosen based upon their graded scores of SAET 2009 in English so thirty-nine out of ninety-three subjects were involved in the data analysis of this study. They were asked to complete a Reading Comprehension Test (RCT) from one of the formal reading competency test of GEPT at Intermediate level and then fill out the 5—point Likert Reading Strategies Questionnaire (RSQ) designed by the researcher immediately after the reading comprehension section of RCT. The subjects’ scores of the reading comprehension section of RCT and their mean scores of RSQ were analyzed with Independent Sample T-test. The major findings of the present study are summarized as follows. First, as a whole, more proficient EFL subjects made use of most of general reading strategies and compensation strategies for vocabulary and comprehension difficulty much more frequently. Second, though in general more English proficient subjects used strategies more frequently, both MP and LP groups showed similar tendency in choosing certain reading strategies over the others. They both “skipped” the difficult part constantly, often “reread” the part with meaning contradiction, and regularly read sentence by sentence and linked information in surrounding sentences. That is, both groups read in a more bottom-up rather than top-down manner. On the other hand, both groups were less competent to read in a top-down manner and less capable of using synthesis and evaluation strategies or reading critically. Third, when facing difficult vocabulary, more proficient ones made use of compensation strategies with higher frequency as well. They showed particularly higher frequency in making use of grammatical and structural knowledge and skills. Both groups took advantage of guessing from contextual clues very often but they seldom tried to break lexical items into parts (using prefixes, roots and suffixes) to help them. Finally, when facing difficulty in meaning construction, MP and LP groups showed similar preference in choosing compensation strategy use as well. In conclusion, this study demonstrated more proficient EFL senior high school students were more active strategy users both in general reading strategies and in compensation strategies for vocabulary and comprehension difficulty. Both high and low proficient students showed similar tendency and preference in choosing strategies they use. Accordingly, it is suggested that English teachers should not only try to incorporate reading strategies into the curriculum to encourage reading strategy use. As for strategies that students were less familiar with or could not use effectively, English teachers should not only make their students aware of them, but they should also provide enough in class or after class practice to let them know how to utilize them effectively. Moreover, the teachers are suggested to guide their students to read in a more top-down manner and react to the text more critically.

Abstract The school dormitory is “home “ to 152 students, approximately half of the number of the students who are going to live here for three years. What services can the dorm, with fifty-five years of history, offer and influence the students’ life, learning, personality, and behavior? Through questionaire investigation, we can find out the accommodation satisfaction degrees of the students. The motive of this research is to improve the function of the dormitory, and make better the administrative efficiency in order to cultivate the students learning development. The purpose of this research aims at finding out: 1) whether the studenets are satisfied with the present accommodation, 2)the differences of satisfaction about the living quality made by the students with different background, 3)the differences of satisfaction for accommodation made by the students with different background. This research adopts general measurement. There are 152 questionnaires distributed, and 149 retrived. By excluding the invalid ones, there are 137 valid samples. The validity rate is 92 percent. The questionnaire is divided into two parts. Part One: 1. questionnaire for satisfaction of accommodation, 77 items all told; 2. elements for living quality, 74 items divided into five groups; 3. maintenance of the dormitory environment; 4. equipment for the hardware of the dormitory; 5. equipment for the software of the dromitory; 6. fuction of learning and development; 7. social and leisure fuction; 8. overall satisfation, 3 items all told. Part Two: Basic data of the students living in the dorm, 7 items all told. The statistical data analysis is implemented with SPSS 12.0. The total scale reliability of Cronbach’s for living quality and overall satisfaction are 0.97 and 0.86 respectively. By using descriptive statistics, we learn the frequency of accommodation satisfaction, average number, and so on. The individual sample, t-test, and one-way ANOVA help us know the different background of each individual, including gender, academic year, and the time spent in the dorm, and so on.
