The Relationship Between Exercise And Prospective Memory: A Meta-Analysis, Shaykhah Salman Alqahtani

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Prospective memory (PM)—the ability to remember and carry out future intentions—is essential for everyday functioning. This cognitive process involves intention formation, retention, cue detection, and execution. Emerging research suggests that physical exercise may influence prospective memory performance through potential enhancements in attention, executive functioning, and neuroplasticity. This thesis examines the relationship between physical exercise and prospective memory through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing literature.

This review synthesized evidence from experimental studies to evaluate the effects of acute and chronic exercise interventions on prospective memory in diverse populations. Six studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in …

The Impact Of State-Mandated High-Stakes Standardized Testing On The Job Satisfaction Of Third-Grade Reading Teachers In Mississippi, Jenny Kate Ernst

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This qualitative study examined how state-mandated standardized testing influences the job satisfaction of current and former third-grade reading teachers in Mississippi.

Reading Teacher Perceptions: The Impact Of Educator Preparation Program Literacy Coursework And Clinical Experiences On Teacher Efficacy In Historically Underrepresented Populations, Emily Taubken

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Despite research that indicates the critical importance and lifelong impact of early reading proficiency for students, national reading proficiency trends demonstrate most students in the United States are not yet reading at grade level, with disparities existing among historically underrepresented subgroups. Additionally, research shows that preservice and in-service teachers have documented limited feelings of self-efficacy in teaching reading specifically, suggesting limitations in preservice training for educators. To better understand how reading teachers perceive the efficacy of their preservice teacher academic and clinical experiences, especially for those who serve historically underrepresented student populations, this study seeks to document the perspectives of …

Creating A Growth Mindset: A Mixed-Methods Program Review Research Study On The Effects Of Social–Emotional Learning On Retained Third-Grade Students, Casshaunda Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In Mississippi’s public elementary schools, third-grade students are faced with promotion–retention decisions from the third-grade state assessment and, when retention is the outcome, students often experience negative emotional outcomes. In our school setting, the challenge is how better to help our retained, third-grade students to cope with retention and to grow a strong mindset of self-efficacy towards academic achievement after experiencing retention. This mixed-methods program review research study was conducted to institute a social–emotional learning intervention program in our existing MTSS behavioral program offered to Tier III (at-risk) students. I followed an intervention program to foster a growth mindset for …
