Teachers' Perceptions Of School Safety, Safety-Based Changes, And Their Resultant Impact On School Climate: A Case Study, Laura L. Finley
Dissertations
In the last decade, several high-profile shootings in suburban school districts have drawn attention to the issue of school-based violence. Consequently, schools all over have responded in many ways. The literature reveals that many suburban and rural schools have adopted the same measures as have urban districts, despite the fact that their discipline and violence problems are qualitatively different. These responses have generally been punitive and technological in nature, rather than curricular or structural reforms. This has included institution of metal detectors, more restrictive student dress codes, zero tolerance laws and others. Some, though, have suggested that these responses may …
Balancing Yin And Yang, Roger D. Clark, Angela Lang
Balancing Yin And Yang, Roger D. Clark, Angela Lang
Faculty Publications
The first three-quarters of the semester flew by. We learned about quantitative data analysis and I loved it. I really enjoyed the numerical manipulations and seeing how it all related to people. Everything was there in front of me. Not too much imagination on my part was really needed. Then it all ended. Professor Clark introduced qualitative methods and the anxiety began. I soon realized I had to reinvent my creative side, which is something that as an undergraduate I am not required to do very often. I was nervous that I would discover that I was not creative at …
The Effects Of De-Tracking On Students And Teachers, Jacob M. Bultema, Kristen M. Scranton
The Effects Of De-Tracking On Students And Teachers, Jacob M. Bultema, Kristen M. Scranton
Honors Theses
School districts use an array of methods to group students for their academic needs. In years past, many schools have tracked their students. This practice involves placing students in different classes according to their ability levels and past academic record. However, in recent years, some schools have decided to do away with this homogenous grouping and instead "detrack" their schools, grouping students heterogeneously. Proponents of tracking argue that homogenous grouping is advantageous to higher-ability learners. Teachers sometimes find it difficult to teach students with the broad range or achievement levels typically found in a heterogeneous environment. It is also argued …

Jesús Francisco Galaz Fontes
A partir de una encuesta realizada a académicos en una universidad pública estatal, se midieron los niveles de satisfacción global y específica en el trabajo de los de tiempo completo que la contestaron. La satisfacción global en el trabajo fue alta, lo misma que la relativa a la docencia y autonomía individual. En contraste, los niveles de satisfacción fueron inferiores y bajos cuando se consideraron las actividades de investigación, desarrollo profesional, la participación de los académicos en la toma de decisiones académicas y aspectos contextuales al trabajo como evaluación, supervisión y salario. Al desagregar los datos por tipo de unidad …

School Climate : A Review Of Literature, Sarah Galloway
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this paper is to review the current literature and research on school climate to determine how school climate affects achievement, social, emotional and behavioral development, school safety, and school attendance and completion.
