The Effect Of A Required Character Education And Class-Wide Peer Tutoring Program On 5th-Grade Students’ Reading And Writing Performance, Anthony P. Dancer
Student Work
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of a required school year long Character Education and Class-Wide Peer Tutoring program (CE+CWPT) for students who scored at or below proficiency in one, two, or three of their reading fluency, reading comprehension, or writing assessments at the beginning of their 5th-grade school year. The study analyzed performance on criterion referenced tests, performance on norm-referenced tests, behavioral referrals, and attendance to determine what relationship, if any, exists between levels of achievement amongst students participating in a required CE+CWPT program. Following a year of program participation, 5th-grade students with one or …

The Impact Of Option-In Longevity Enrollment Patterns On Student Achievement, Behavior, And Engagement Outcomes, Andrew J. Rikli
The Impact Of Option-In Longevity Enrollment Patterns On Student Achievement, Behavior, And Engagement Outcomes, Andrew J. Rikli
Student Work
The impact of option-in longevity patterns on student achievement, behavior, and engagement outcomes was evaluated. The seventh-grade pretest compared the seventhgrade posttest gains made by students who were enrolled short-term (n = 46) as they completed their first year in a middle school setting indicated that the exposure to a consistent and equitable educational program continued to result in positive student outcomes. Levels of performance for option-in students were also found to be congruent with the posttest achievement, behavior, and engagement data for students who are residents of the district (n = 46). School choice options and longevity within a …
The Effect Of A Founding International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme On Participating Seventh Grade Students' Achievement, Behavior, Extra-Curricular Involvement, And Perceptions Of Life Skills, Joan C.R. Wilson
Student Work
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a founding International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) on participating 7th-grade students' achievement, behavior, extra-curricular involvement, and perceptions of life skills compared to 7th-grade students' completing the same school's standard of care traditional academic program (TAP). The study analyzed data of IBMYP and TAP students to determine if the IBMYP has significantly impacted student outcomes. Following two consecutive years of program participation IBMYP students (n = 30) demonstrated a significant pretest-posttest improvement on norm-referenced achievement test math scores but their measured language and reading achievement test scores remained consistent …
The Effect Of Required Tutoring Option Participation On Failing Eighth-Grade Students' Academic And Behavioral Performance, Larry Murry
Student Work
Tutoring programs were evaluated to determine the effect of required option participation on failing eighth-grade students' achievement, behavior, and attitude following a year implementation phase. The eighth-grade pretest compared to eighth-grade posttest gains made by students in the 45-Minute Morning Tutoring Session (45-MMTS n=15), 75-Minute After-School Tutoring Session (75-MASTS n=15) and 120-Minute Combined Morning and After School Tutoring Session (120-MCMASTS n=15) demonstrated positive achievement, behavior and attitudinal outcomes for all programs. These levels of performance were also found to be congruent with the posttest achievement, behavior and attitude data.

The Effects Of Increased Racial Isolation On 5th-Grade Students' Achievement, Attendance, And Behavior, Peter J. Smith
Student Work
Achievement, attendance, and behavior data of African American, Hispanic American, and Caucasian students from racially segregated and racially integrated settings were analyzed to determine the effect of racial isolation on achievement, attendance, and behavior of each racial group. 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 Relationship Between Youth And Adult Physical Activity, Kane M. Miller
Student Work
The purpose of this study was to examine correlations between youth and adult physical activity (PA), and to examine the amount of variance in adult PA that can be explained by youth PA variables. Subjects were 232 male (n = 91) and female (n = 141) full- and part-time employees of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, ranging from 23 to 76 years of age. Employees were faculty and staff volunteers from a variety of departments throughout the university campus. A non-experimental recall technique was used for this study. Subjects were sampled regarding their youth and adult PA using two …

Teacher Candidates' Perceptions Of Traditional Classroom Assessments And Electronic Portfolio Classroom Assessments, Robert L. Goeman
Student Work
The purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in teacher candidates' perceptions of the contributions of traditional classroom assessments and electronic portfolio classroom assessments to the candidates' development of their understanding of education core content areas and the use of reflections. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine teacher candidates' knowledge of Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC)(1992) principles given hours spent within the traditional and electronic portfolio classroom assessments.
The Impact Of Elementary Principal Supervision On Public Prekindergarten Classrooms And Student Development, Lisa A. St. Clair
The Impact Of Elementary Principal Supervision On Public Prekindergarten Classrooms And Student Development, Lisa A. St. Clair
Student Work
This study examined the impact of public elementary principal supervision, and prior prekindergarten coursework/experience on the measured quality of public prekindergarten classrooms and students' developmental outcomes. Pretest-posttest results indicated that students' developmental outcomes significantly improved across six early learning domains in all three of the independent variable principal conditions where (a) principals supervised and had prior prekindergarten coursework/experience or (b) principals supervised and did not have prior prekindergarten coursework/experience or (c) principals who did not supervise their prekindergarten classrooms. However, posttest-posttest results comparing student's developmental outcomes indicated no patterns of significant differences between the three principal conditions. Furthermore, posttest-posttest classroom …

Cynicism In Christian Secondary Schools: A Phenomenology, Victor H. Fordyce
Student Work
This study was accomplished to further the understanding of the phenomenon of cynicism in 3 conservative Christian secondary schools in the Midwest.

Participants did not believe there was a large amount of cynicism in their schools. They identified negative affectivity, lack of trust, lack of self-efficacy, alienation, poor communication, and actions of leaders as contributors to …
The Effect Of An Intensive Writing Instruction Assessment Preparation Program On Student Writing Proficiency, Edward J. Bennett
The Effect Of An Intensive Writing Instruction Assessment Preparation Program On Student Writing Proficiency, Edward J. Bennett
Student Work
An intensive writing instruction and assessment preparation program was evaluated to determine its effectiveness in helping students improve their performance on a standardized statewide writing assessment. Following the six-week program, pretest to posttest gains made by 8th-grade students ( N = 74) revealed significant improvement in writing performance on the statewide assessment. As reflected by subject test scores, the control group of 8th-grade students (N = 86) also demonstrated significant pretest to posttest gains. Although posttest statewide writing assessment scores were significant for both groups, Norm Referenced Normal Curve Equivalent posttest measures dipped significantly for both groups. However, the achievement …
