The Role Of Theory In Quantitative Data Analysis, Terri D. Pigott

Education: School of Education Faculty Publications and Other Works

(Schoenfeld, 2010, p. 105)

Is ‘Small’ Always Small And ‘Big’ Always Big? Re-Reading Educational Developments In Small (And Micro) States, Tavis D. Jules, Patrick Ressler

Education: School of Education Faculty Publications and Other Works

The volume seeks to contribute to a genuinely comparative approach to education in small states. Moreover, widening conventional definitions of smallness, it aims to advance research in the field …

This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the Latina/o experience and the factors that contribute to college success among community college students. Specifically, this study used hierarchical multiple regression and logistic regression analysis to investigate …
