The Effects Of Synchronous Class Sessions On Students' Academic Achievement And Levels Of Satisfaction In An Online Introduction To Computers Course, Andrea Leshea
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this quasi-experimental static-group comparison study was to test the theory of transactional distance that relates the inclusion of synchronous class sessions into an online introductory computer course to students' levels of satisfaction and academic achievement at a post-secondary technical college. This study specifically looked at the effects of adding live, synchronous class sessions into an online learning environment using collaboration software such as Blackboard Collaborate and the impact that this form of live interaction had on students' overall levels of satisfaction and academic achievement with the course. A quasi-experiment using the post-test only, static-group comparison design was …
A Phenomenological Approach To The Use Of Praise In The Upper Elementary Classroom, Kristen Mcguire
A Phenomenological Approach To The Use Of Praise In The Upper Elementary Classroom, Kristen Mcguire
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This qualitative study uses a hermeneutic phenomenological approach and data analysis to explore how teachers use praise in multiple sixth grade classrooms. Both novice and veteran teachers are involved in the study. The study examines the differences between these novice and veteran teachers' use of praise. The study also examines how teachers use praise differently for effort versus achievement and the pros and cons of praise in the classroom. In addition, the study provides reasoning for why teachers use praise in the upper elementary classroom. The study utilizes various data collection techniques to focus on how and why teachers use …
Recognizing Culture In Experiential Education: An Analysis And Framework For Practitioners, Valerie J. Kurka
Recognizing Culture In Experiential Education: An Analysis And Framework For Practitioners, Valerie J. Kurka
Master's Capstone Projects
Experiential education is an intentional educational process that relies on experiential learning theory. This paper categorizes common features of experiential education and analyzes them with a cultural framework. Common features of experiential education include individual development, student-centered teaching, individual challenge and learning, challenge-by-choice, “emotional safety”, and reflection/processing activities. The features of experiential education that I have analyzed have basic cultural assumptions of high individuality, low power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, high achievement, emphasis on internal control, and possible interaction with ascriptive dispositions and masculine characteristics. These assumptions may have implications for practitioners practicing cross-culturally. In an increasingly global world and …
The Relationship Between Inquiry-Based Science Instruction And Student Achievement, Michael Louis Suarez
The Relationship Between Inquiry-Based Science Instruction And Student Achievement, Michael Louis Suarez
Dissertations
Teaching science through inquiry has become a focus of recent educational reform in Mississippi and other states. Based on the Constructivist learning theory, inquiry instruction can take many forms, but generally follows the scientific method by requiring students to learn concepts through experimentation and real-world, hands-on experiences.
This dissertation examines the relationship between the amounts of time spent using inquiry-based science instruction and student achievement as measured by the Mississippi State Science Assessment. The study also identifies teacher perceptions of inquiry and the amount of professional development received by participants on using inquiry-based instructional techniques. Finally, this study identifies factors …
Literacy Achievement In Nongraded Classrooms, Anita Therese Kreide
Literacy Achievement In Nongraded Classrooms, Anita Therese Kreide
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
This longitudinal quantitative study compared literacy achievement of students from second through sixth grade based on two organizational systems: graded (traditional) and nongraded (multiage) classrooms. The California Standards Test (CST) scaled and proficiency scores for English-Language Arts (ELA) were used as the study’s independent variable to measure student performance. A matched control was utilized in which nongraded students were compared with graded students based on gender, ethnicity, and date of birth. Data analysis included independent samples t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and effect size. Results showed that nongraded students had a significant advantage over their graded counterparts in literacy achievement …
A Correlational Study Of The Avid Program With M.S. Math Achievement, David J. Peak
A Correlational Study Of The Avid Program With M.S. Math Achievement, David J. Peak
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Improving student achievement in mathematics in secondary schools remains a priority for public education in our country. With continued federal and state mandates to improve overall student achievement in mathematics, as well as to close the achievement gap, many school districts have sought programs, such as Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), to assist in improving student performance. The mission of AVID is to improve the academic achievement of students who are often in the "middle" or "average" and who are typically minorities and are economically disadvantaged. AVID seeks to support these students by providing them with the strategies that successful …
The Effect Of A Summer Reading Program On Student Reading Achievement, Danielle Triplett
The Effect Of A Summer Reading Program On Student Reading Achievement, Danielle Triplett
Education Dissertations and Projects
This study examined the relationship between reading during the summer and reading achievement. The participants consisted of second through fifth grade students in a rural, western North Carolina elementary school. Continued focus on increasing reading abilities and closing the achievement gap prompted the interest for this research.
Data were gathered through the use of qualitative and quantitative measures such as state and county assessments, surveys, and program reports.
Analysis of the data indicated the role that reading during the summer had on reading achievement.
Brainstorm: A Highly Competitive Game And Its Effect On Fifth Grade Science And Social Studies Achievement, John William Meyers
Brainstorm: A Highly Competitive Game And Its Effect On Fifth Grade Science And Social Studies Achievement, John William Meyers
All Master's Theses
In recent years a difference of opinion has existed regarding the effectiveness of games. Some educators believe games have many intrinsic values to facilitate learning and achievement. Others believe the competition involved from participating in games is detrimental to some student's emotional status. No sound research has been conducted in relation of games to achievement. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a highly competitive game called Brainstorm will serve as a media toward motivation and will improve achievement in science and social studies at the fifth grade level.
