Download or read book A Study of School wide Attendance Rates in Relation to Student Achievement on Missouri Assessment Program Test Scores for Mathematics and ELA in Rural Missouri Middle Schools from 2010 to 2014 written by Justin Corcoran and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was done to determine if there was a significant relationship between the percentage of overall school-wide attendance rates from 2010 to 2014 and overall student achievement on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) in 7th and 8th grade Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) from 2010 to 2014 in Missouri rural middle schools. This study specifically analyzed data from 145 rural middle schools in Missouri on the percentages of students scoring in the bottom two levels of the MAP scoring system (basic and below basic) and the top two levels of the MAP scoring system (proficient and advanced) to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between 7th and 8th grade MAP score percentages and school-wide attendance rate percentages. This study was primarily an attempt to acquire a greater understanding of how school-wide attendance impacts student achievement. The researchers used EZAnalyze® software to perform fourteen Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of correlation tests to determine if any relationships existed between attendance and MAP scores. The findings from this study determined there was not a statistically significant relationship between school-wide attendance and the bottom two and top two levels of the scoring system for MAP scores in 7th and 8th grade Math and ELA from 2010 to 2014 in Missouri rural middle schools. Although this study did not determine a statistically significant relationship between school-wide attendance and student achievement, the literature included in this study indicates a need for educators to further explore the impact of student attendance on student achievement and school accountability.
Download or read book School Attendance Relationship to Student Achievement on State Standardized Test written by Dawn Mikus and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research was conducted to see if there was a relationship between school attendance and student achievement. The study looked at 69 fourth graders in an urban elementary school. The research findings answer the question, "Does school attendance relate to student achievement as perceived on the Communication Arts MAP test and the Math MAP test scores?" The research was conducting by doing a correlation analysis on the students' school attendance percentage for the 2012-2013 school year and their 2013 Communication Arts MAP test scores and their 2013 Math MAP test scores. The results of this study show that there is a positive relationship between school attendance percentages and student achievement based on the Communication Arts MAP test and the Math MAP test. The conclusion based on this research is that school attendance has a significant effect on student achievement. Therefore, school districts should further educate their parents and community on the importance of regular attendance. There should also be a better form of tracking chronically absent students and providing support of them."

This book was released on 2015 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between student attendance and student achievement on standardized tests. The study group was ninety- two students of a seventh grade class in an urban school district. A study was conducted to analyze if there is a direct relationship between a student's attendance and achievement on standardized tests. Individual attendance percentages and test scores from the 2014 MAP Communication Arts and Mathematics were collected for each student for the 2012-2013 academic year. Using A Statistic Package (ASP), data was entered into the system to test the correlation between student attendance and student achievement. The analysis resulted in a significant, positive relationship between student attendance and student achievement in the MAP Mathematics test. However, the analysis depicted no significant relationship between student attendance and student achievement in the MAP Communication Arts test. Based on the results, schools should increase the communication with parents about the importance of attendance and student achievement in education.
Download or read book The Relationship Between School level Resource Allocation and Student Achievement written by Craig D. Eaton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the National Commission on Excellence in Education released its report A Nation at Risk in 1983, educational reform which demands accountability has been an important topic on national and state agendas. The 1993 Missouri legislation entitled The Outstanding Education Act, along with recent federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, are examples of legislative reform and increased accountability standards for public schools. These examples help fuel the debate on the controversial topic of how educational resources are related to student achievement because in them school funding is tied to the legislation. The purpose of this study was to determine if relationships exist between resource allocation in Missouri middle schools and student achievement. This study utilized resource allocation and student achievement variables similar to those used in national-, state-, and district-level studies; however, this study analyzed possible relationships at the school level. The dependent variables utilized were the percent of students scoring at or above the "proficient" category on 7 th -grade communication arts and 8 th -grade mathematics Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. Independent variables included school-level current per pupil expenditures (PPE); student to teacher ratios for schools and in communication arts and mathematics classrooms; as well as school wide teacher instruction-free time; and the ratio of students to non-instructional professional staff. The study found that differences exist in resource allocation levels of sampled Missouri middle schools. Findings also suggest a significant positive relationship between PPE and mathematics achievement. Significant positive relationships were also demonstrated when analyzing student to teacher ratios, instruction-free time of teachers, and student to non-instructional professional staff ratios.

Download or read book Improving Student Achievement written by David W. Grissmer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2000-07-19 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do students have different achievement levels across states? Is math achievement improving across states? Differences in average achievement levels across states are mainly traceable to differing family characteristics. However, students from similar families also score differently across states. These differences are related to differences in resource levels and in how resources are spent. States with high spending per pupil, lower pupil-teacher ratios, higher participation in public prekindergarten and higher reported teacher resources have higher achievement. Disadvantaged children are the most sensitive to low resource, and additional resources could substantially their scores. Between-state, rather than within-state, differences in resources appear to be the main reason for inequitable resource levels for students of lower socioeconomic status. The conclusion is that significant math gains are occurring across most states that cannot be traced to resource changes, that the rate of gain varies significantly by state, and that reform efforts are the likely cause of these gains. The results certainly challenge the traditional view of public education as unreformable.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as in most other states in the United States, educators in the state of Missouri are eager to predict student outcomes on the state mandated test, in this case the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP). Schools and districts are anxious for students to perform at a proficient or advanced level in both mathematics and reading. The more information they can collate to tell them where their students are performing at the beginning of the year, the more specialized and specific educators can be in their instruction. Many schools have turned to private assessment and data collection systems, like AimsWeb, to help them ascertain which students are at risk for performing below the proficient level on the MAP. For this study, individual student MAP scores were collected from the district as well as individual scores on the AimsWeb Math Computational Assessment. Research indicated that there is a moderate correlation between students' scores on the AimsWeb M-COMP assessments and the MAP test.

Download or read book Urban Intra district Mobility Effects on Disciplinary Sanctions Missouri Achievement Program MAP Testing and Stanford Achievement Testing Ninth Edition Testing African American Early Adolescents written by Joseph Roy Mensing and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to observe correlations between disciplinary sanctions, Missouri Achievement Program (MAP) test scores (communication arts and science), and Stanford Achievement Test-Ninth Edition (SAT 9) test scores (math and reading), in regard to, 7th-grade African American early adolescents respective Kansas City, Missouri, School District (KCMSD) histories of intra-district mobility. Notably, the participating urban Kansas City, Missouri, School District, during the study time periods (1999-2000 and 2000-2001), was under final stages of several decades of Federal Court ordered desegregation monitoring. Additionally, the African Centered (ACE) Middle School, which the study populations attended, had been determined to be "academically deficient" by the State Board of Missouri Education in 2001. The Researcher purposefully chose to use a dual delimitation sample selection process to validate students incorporated into the study populations. Therefore, the study population included only early adolescents who had been continuous students of the District (Grades 1-7), and the students had to have participated in Missouri Achievement Program (MAP) assessment within the District, during their 7th-grade academic year. Due to the purposeful dual delimitation population selection process, it was anticipated that two years of District-instructed 7th-grade ACE early adolescent populations (1999-2000 and 2000-2001) would be required to obtain a statistically viable study sample. The study specifically examined correlation effects of 7th-grade student school-to-school intra-district mobility regarding administratively assigned out-of school suspension, Missouri Achievement Program (MAP) test scores (communication arts and science), the Stanford Achievement Test-Ninth Edition (SAT 9) test scores (math and reading). Study results indicated a strong positive correlation between student total mobility and respective 7th-grade absences. Additionally, variation in student total mobility was found to be predictive of individual student out-of-school suspensions after controlling for 7th-grade hours absent. The study did not find that variation in total mobility was predictive of individual student, 7th-grade Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) achievement, communication arts and science scores after controlling for 7th-grade hours absent. Nor did variation in total mobility predict individual student, 7th-grade Stanford Achievement Test-Ninth Edition (SAT 9), math and reading scores after controlling for 7th-grade hours absent.

This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grades and attendance-not test scores-are the middle grade factors most strongly connected with both high school and college success. In fact, grades and attendance matter more than test scores, race, poverty, or other background characteristics for later academic success. This report follows approximately 20,000 Chicago Public Schools students as they transition from elementary to high school. It is designed to help answer questions about which markers should be used to gauge whether students are ready to succeed in high school and beyond. It also considers the performance levels students need to reach in middle school to have a reasonable chance of succeeding in high school.
