The Impact Of Intercultural Training On The Satisfaction And Achievement Of Undergraduates Taught By International Teaching Assistants, Kirsten Jensen
Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Education

Identifying Factors That Influence Academic Performance Among Adolescents With Conduct Disorder, Lisa May Quick
Communication Sciences and Disorders Dissertations
The academic underachievement of children and adolescents diagnosed with conduct disorder is well established in the literature. However, no study to date has explored the contributions of personal and contextual variables to specific areas of academic functioning in this population. In this study measures of basic reading, reading comprehension, mathematics reasoning, and numerical operations were assessed using the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) in 63 participants with childhood onset (CO) conduct disorder and 27 participants with adolescent onset (AO) conduct disorder. Participants were enrolled in a residential treatment facility between 1998 and 2002 at the time of evaluation. A series …

Achievement, attendance, and behavior data of randomly selected students from each racial group were analyzed (N = 120). African American students from segregated schools (n = 20) and from integrated schools (n = 20); Hispanic American students from segregated schools (n = 20) and from integrated schools (n = 20); and Caucasian students from segregated schools (n = 20) and from integrated …

The Impact Of Ethnic Identity On Student Achievement In China: A Meta Analysis, Xinyi Wu
Theses and Dissertations
There have been concerns about low educational achievement of ethnic minority students in China. Previous studies have explored this area, especially in regard to the relationship between economic backwardness and achievement. However, a new field of study examines ethnic identity being considered as a cause of low achievement. This study is to use meta-analysis to determine the aggregate results of current research on the effects of self-identity on ethnic minority students and their achievement in China. The literature has been collected through searching library holdings, and online electronic resource search. Different levels of identity construction are discussed. This thesis concludes …

Alignment Of District Assessments With The Virginia Standards Of Learning (Sol), Joan A. Rhodes
MERC Publications
Parents, teachers, and school administrators all have one common goal — student success. Teachers have been trusted to impart knowledge to students, while hopefully fostering a love of learning, then assessing how much the students know. Assessment in the classroom, whether informal, formative, or summative, has been the major source of identifying students strengths and weaknesses. Today, there is increased pressure on teachers to ensure they are accountable for what they do in the classroom. Within the educational system, students’ success has been measured inconsistently from state-to-state, district-to-district, and even classroom-to-classroom. In this age of accountability, national and state standards …
