According to recent studies, the number of schools that have severely limited or eliminated recess and free-play opportunities is on the rise across the nation.

This study is significant because the researcher used data collected through quantitative methods to examine the impact of transience on one school.

This dissertation addressed the question, “How is achievement related to transiency?” Additional questions included: “How do nontransient first through sixth graders perform on the Terra Nova …
