Early Attention Problems And Teacher-Student Interactions: Their Impact On Reading Achievement, Kathryn Rhea Handley Jan 2007

Early Attention Problems And Teacher-Student Interactions: Their Impact On Reading Achievement, Kathryn Rhea Handley

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This purpose of this study was to examine how inattentive behaviors in the classroom impact reading achievement. This study also investigated how this association is mediated by interactions with teachers. Participants were 38 second-grade students and three female teachers from a public school district in Ohio. Rank correlational analysis revealed that student inattention had a weak negative correlation with reading achievement. This is contradictory to previous research which has indicated that inattention is strongly related to difficulties in the area of reading. In addition, teacher-student interactions were not significantly associated with reading achievement. Thus, involvement, autonomy support, and structure provided …


The Relationship Among Stress, Support, Depression, And Academic Performance For Rural Adolescents, Sandra Ann Hartings Jan 2007

The Relationship Among Stress, Support, Depression, And Academic Performance For Rural Adolescents, Sandra Ann Hartings

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The constructs of stress, support, depression, and academic performance have been mostly addressed on an individual basis. Stress research with children and adolescents has not been as rigorous as research with adults. There are also a number of gaps in the research literature related to support. The decrease in age of the first onset of depressive episodes, along with the high prevalence of depression in adolescence, emphasizes the need to expand research in this area. Also, few studies have attempted to identify interpersonal variables that may serve as antecedents of school achievement. The purpose of this study was to examine …

A Comparative Study Of Hybrid And Internet-Based Educational Technology Course Modules, Nilly Adnan Al-Banna

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine students’ attitudes and performance toward the teaching methods in an educational technology course. Undergraduate students enrolled in the Educational Technology course ETEC 2002L at the University of Arkansas had been exposed to both on-line modules and in-class instruction. The sample size for this study was 155. The results included 110 valid surveys completed by the students on paper. The data collected from the survey were analyzed using percentages, means, and t test of paired samples to find if there was a significant difference in students’ attitudes toward on-line versus hybrid instruction. Four …


Examining The Relationship Between Student Support Services And Student Outcomes At A Four-Year Institution, Angela Williams May 2006

Examining The Relationship Between Student Support Services And Student Outcomes At A Four-Year Institution, Angela Williams

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study identified and examined the service variable combination(s) provided by Student Support Services (SSS) TRIO program that had a statistically significant relationship with program participants’ academic performance and retention. SSS is a federally funded program designed to increase the retention and graduation rates of undergraduate first-generation, low-income, disabled college students. While SSS has played a significant role in the retention of disadvantaged students, scarce empirical research exist which examine the combination of SSS services that affect students’ academic performance and retention. Considering SSS programs will probably not experience large increases in federal support in the future and given the …
