A Comparative Study Of Hybrid And Internet-Based Educational Technology Course Modules, Nilly Adnan Al-Banna Dec 2006

A Comparative Study Of Hybrid And Internet-Based Educational Technology Course Modules, Nilly Adnan Al-Banna

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine students’ attitudes and performance toward the teaching methods in an educational technology course. Undergraduate students enrolled in the Educational Technology course ETEC 2002L at the University of Arkansas had been exposed to both on-line modules and in-class instruction. The sample size for this study was 155. The results included 110 valid surveys completed by the students on paper. The data collected from the survey were analyzed using percentages, means, and t test of paired samples to find if there was a significant difference in students’ attitudes toward on-line versus hybrid instruction. Four …


Examining The Relationship Between Student Support Services And Student Outcomes At A Four-Year Institution, Angela Williams May 2006

Examining The Relationship Between Student Support Services And Student Outcomes At A Four-Year Institution, Angela Williams

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study identified and examined the service variable combination(s) provided by Student Support Services (SSS) TRIO program that had a statistically significant relationship with program participants’ academic performance and retention. SSS is a federally funded program designed to increase the retention and graduation rates of undergraduate first-generation, low-income, disabled college students. While SSS has played a significant role in the retention of disadvantaged students, scarce empirical research exist which examine the combination of SSS services that affect students’ academic performance and retention. Considering SSS programs will probably not experience large increases in federal support in the future and given the …

Development Of An In-Situ Carbon Deposition Test For The Analysis Of Thermal Stress On Jet Fuel, Jeffrey Bruce Gomach Jan 2006

Development Of An In-Situ Carbon Deposition Test For The Analysis Of Thermal Stress On Jet Fuel, Jeffrey Bruce Gomach

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

As thermal demands placed on jet fuel increase, improved knowledge of fuel chemistry is needed for the development of better deposition mitigation techniques. A new tool is needed to examine deposition such as the in-situ carbon deposition test (ICDT) created in this work. Capabilities achieved for the ICDT include: in-situ oxidation and quantitation of deposits, low fuel volumes, and controlled residence time and extent of reaction. Fuels were thermally stressed in a Lindberg Furnace, and in-situ oxidation of deposition to CO2 was accomplished using the same furnace and a CuO oxidation catalyst. Oxidation of deposition was measured to be complete …
