Using Planned Reading Circles To Increase Pre-Service Special Education Teachers' Content Knowledge, Yvonne Hefner
Using Planned Reading Circles To Increase Pre-Service Special Education Teachers' Content Knowledge, Yvonne Hefner
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
This presentation will describe the implementation of an appropriate and effective teaching method to help pre-service teacher candidates learn about major course topics. As a method of teaching course content the presenter implements reading circles and the use of the wiki to teach course content in a college course for pre-service special education teacher candidates. The reading circles offer a direct way to encourage reading of course content and, in turn, lead to a better understanding of course content. The wiki allows the students to construct, discuss, revise, and fine-tune their understandings and interpretations of assigned readings. Both the reading …
All Possible Regressions Using Ibm Spss: A Practitioner’S Guide To Automatic Linear Modeling, T. Chris Oshima, Theresa Dell-Ross
All Possible Regressions Using Ibm Spss: A Practitioner’S Guide To Automatic Linear Modeling, T. Chris Oshima, Theresa Dell-Ross
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
Although the all possible subsets regression procedure (or all possible regressions) has been a preferred method for selecting the “best” model in multiple regression, it might not have been the most frequently used method by SPSS users partly due to its time consuming nature of evaluating all possible combinations of multiple regression models. Starting with Version 19, however, IBM SPSS introduced a new procedure called Automatic Linear Modeling, enabling researchers to select best subsets automatically. While the arrival of this new procedure is highly welcomed by researchers, practitioners, and students, it has also raised a potential threat of misuse due …

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
AMAYS is a design-based research project involving the creation, implementation, and evaluation of an informal learning environment (ILE) that combines elements of culturally relevant pedagogy, informal STEM learning, and gamified learning design. The target population is traditionally underserved middle school students in the greater Atlanta area. A pre-pilot study testing of the AMAYS intervention with a sample target population was completed this summer. Data sources consisted of field notes and open-ended interviews. The researchers used grounded theory in order to allow the data to lead us towards any conclusions. Data were analyzed at first with open coding and then with …
Coteaching In An Inclusion Setting: Perceptions Of Third- Through Eighth-Grade Educators, Crystal Ricks
Coteaching In An Inclusion Setting: Perceptions Of Third- Through Eighth-Grade Educators, Crystal Ricks
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
The problem addressed by this study was that coteachers in the district had verbalized a need to address insufficiencies in their understanding about what constitutes best models or practices in inclusion settings. Specifically, coteachers voiced frustration regarding a lack of knowledge about inclusion practices and a lack of necessary training to better equip them to work in coteaching settings. Most of all, teachers in the district articulated concerns regarding the perceived lack of collaboration between coteachers, making it difficult for them to work together. Some teachers put forth views that coteaching as they experienced it was not the type of …
Improving Measurement Of Ambiguity Tolerance Among Teacher Candidates, Kent Allan Rittschof
Improving Measurement Of Ambiguity Tolerance Among Teacher Candidates, Kent Allan Rittschof
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
The process of learning often requires dealing with the ambiguity of uncertain interpretations. A learner’s tolerance for ambiguity involves the degree of willingness to accept or adapt to unfamiliar, unpredictable, or uncertain situations and ideas. This study examined the measurement of ambiguity tolerance (AT) among teacher candidates. Pre-service teachers (n = 114) attending a medium size university in the southeastern United States were administered McLain's (1993) Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance (MSTAT-I) scale. Analyses were first conducted on item responses from the MSTAT-I, then on item responses from the MSTAT-II (McLain, 2009), an instrument comprised of a subset of 13 …
Persistence To Graduation: Does Financial Aid Matter?, Mary E. Anderson, Noran L. Moffett
Persistence To Graduation: Does Financial Aid Matter?, Mary E. Anderson, Noran L. Moffett
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
This mixed methods research study used a QUAN-QUAL Model to examine the impact that various factors have on student persistence to graduation in postsecondary education. A documentary research approach was used to collect existing data for first-time full-time freshmen in the Fall 2008 Cohort who graduated within six years at a private Historically Black College or University. A correlational research design was employed to determine if a significant relationship existed between the dependent variables—Persistence to Graduation within Six Years and Final GPA at Time of Degree Completion and independent variables. Descriptive statistical analyses were used to describe, summarize, and …
A Proposal For Evaluating Georgia’S Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Program, Donald Lamar Ariail
A Proposal For Evaluating Georgia’S Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Program, Donald Lamar Ariail
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
Georgia’s Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Program (SCTWP) became law in 1976. This program allows senior citizens age 62 and older to attend University System of Georgia (USG) institutions tuition free. With the ultimate aim of improving the current program, the purpose of the proposed evaluation of the SCTWP is to determine the ongoing implementation of the program including the status of the promotion of the program, the assistance being provided to seniors aimed at facilitating entry into the program, and the level of satisfaction of program participants. Preliminary research indicates that information about the program may be difficult to obtain …
Examining The Development Of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy For Preservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers, Natasha Ramsay-Jordan
Examining The Development Of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy For Preservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers, Natasha Ramsay-Jordan
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
Culturally responsive mathematics pedagogy (CRMP) should be valued and presented as the norm for teachers so that students from diverse backgrounds can access essential mathematical knowledge (Aguirre & del Rosario, 2013; Bonner & Adams, 2012; Leonard & Moore, 2014). Prospective teachers of diverse students need to have opportunities in their professional study to develop the shared knowledge, perceptions and attitudes required for effective implementation of culturally responsive mathematics pedagogy (Gay, 2002). The purpose of this study is to begin investigative and exploratory work through the coupling of qualitative research methodology and critical race theory to examine preservice secondary mathematics teachers’ …

Books Or Boots: A Case Study Of The Dependents Of The Deployed, Meagan Arrastia, Aria Nicole Alvarez, Breanna Mechelle Drummond
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
In response to Dr. Jill Biden’s address at the 2016 AERA annual meeting to study and serve military families, we present a preliminary study of the dependents in military families currently attending college. This case study includes a collection of interviews with college students at a four-year comprehensive university who experienced parental deployment of one or more parent during childhood. Interviews consisted of questions about childhood and educational experiences. Transcripts from interviews with six females with varying experiences have been coded by three separate researchers using thematic analysis. Using self-determination theory to understand academic motivation and identification with the military, …
Investigating Elementary School Teachers’ Interactions Relating To Newcomer Emergent Bilingual Students, Amy Cain
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
Five of the top 16 counties in the United States with the fastest-growing Latino populations from 2000 to 2007 are in Georgia (Pew Hispanic Research Center, 2015). The Georgia metropolitan area where the study occurred has more Latinos than Austin, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, or Tucson (Pew Hispanic Research Center, 2015). Particularly following the New Latino Diaspora (Hamann, Wortham, & Murillo, 2002; Murillo, 2002; and Villenas, 2002) schools in the Southeastern United States have more and more Spanish-speaking students (Pew Hispanic Research Center, 2015). However, most classroom teachers have not received specialized training or professional development relating to these students (Ballantyne, …
