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. Guided by Self-Determination Theory, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and the Job Demands-Resources Model, the research explored how accountability pressures shape teachers’ motivation, emotional well-being, and instructional autonomy. Data were collected through an open-ended online survey of current and former Mississippi third-grade reading teachers. Analysis of responses revealed four central themes: emotional strain and burnout, loss of autonomy and creativity, impact on instructional practices, and student impact. Findings indicated that teachers perceive standardized testing as a major source of stress that …

Design And Prototyping Of An Acoustic Positioning System For Gps-Denied Environment, Harley Hogan Garrett

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Finding the placement of sensors is known as sensor localization, and is a necessary task to ensure that a network is capable of array processing operations, such as direction of arrival measurements. This thesis proposes a method to perform sensor localization for a wireless sensor network using acoustics. Each sensor is equipped with a microphone, speaker, and processor. Using these, the proposed system is able to find the distance between each sensor and later the geometry of the network. A series of optimizations help reduce error and improve the final accuracy of the system to within 6.5 cm. The proposed …

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 …

Numerical Studies Of Entanglement Entropy In The Fredkin Spin Chain, Joshua Tyler Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, we present work on the entanglement properties of the Fredkin spin chain, a spin one-half chain with local three-body interactions. We focus on the development and use of Monte Carlo techniques to measure the entanglement entropy for bipartitions of the Fredkin spin chain.

In the first chapter, we formally develop an extension to existing Monte Carlo techniques to allow for the calculation of higher-order Rényi entanglement entropies using the replica trick. The method clarifies how multiple systems can be simulated in parallel to calculate the Rényi entanglement entropy at any order.

In the next chapter, we apply …

Unlocking Efficiency: Ai-Powered Solutions In Insurance, Yi Zhang

Probability & Statistics Seminar

Discover how insurance companies can leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive efficiency and innovation. This seminar will delve into three key AI applications: (1) fuzzy matching for accurate insured name identification, (2) claim summarization using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract insights from narrative text, and (3) automated report drafting and ad-hoc analytics for enhanced documentation. Along the way, we'll introduce fundamental insurance data concepts, providing a comprehensive understanding of how AI can transform the industry.

Geometric Mean Of Conformal Radii For Compact Sets Contained In A Simply Connected Domain, Neranjan Marasinghe

Analysis Seminar

The well known results by G. Pólya and G. Szegő assert that the disk has the largest conformal radius among all simply connected domains of a fixed area and, the equilateral triangle and square have the largest conformal radii among all triangles with a given area and among all quadrilaterals with a given area, respectively. In this talk, I will discuss three theorems that extend these results to geometric mean of conformal radii over compact subsets with prescribed positive area contained in a simply connected domain of a given area, in a triangle of a given area, and in a …
