Download or read book A Case Study on the Effect of Small Learning Community School Setting on Student Achievement in an Urban Comprehensive High School written by Matthew J. Jacobs and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this mixed method study is to investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of a small learning community and its impact on teaching pedagogy, student learning and as well as developing student self-esteem. Nested within the Constructivist Theory, Bandura's Social Learning Theory and Tinto's Theory for Institutional Departure informed the interpretations of the findings and the literature review provides context for the study with what is documented around small learning theories and making the large, complex high school more student-centered and focused. A mixed method approach was utilized in one of the largest urban high schools in Southeastern Connecticut that implemented such a program to increase student achievement. Through the research process, it was found that students, when given the tools to succeed, are more likely to accept accountability for improvement with the support and assistance of the teachers. Through the smaller learning community implementation, while quantitatively showing little significant improvement on student grade, qualitatively students had a better perception on school and how to complete assignments which, in turn, effected their perceptions of school. The findings of this study are presented to inform school administrators, guidance counselors and teachers on the many ways that effective student engagement can impact student perception and performance as well as scheduling reform in the comprehensive secondary school"--Author's abstract.

Heger and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In part one of this study, secondary students' mathematics and science achievement levels in a Six-Period Daily (SPD) schedule were compared with those in a Rotate-Eight Block (REB) schedule (eight macroperiods in a two day rotation). In part two, alumni were surveyed to compare current opinions of the schedules' effectiveness overall and on two subscales. Archival test data and demographic information were obtained on two graduated classes in a selected suburban Midwestern high school, enrollment grades 9 to 12 of approximately 1000 students. Stratified random samples of 50 students from each class were selected based upon treatment, academic ability, ethnicity, and gender. Grade Point Averages (GPAs) and Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) test scores in mathematics and science were examined through univariate three-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) of the differences in the post-treatment means. Where initial equivalence was not found, ANOVA was used to study effects for subgroups. All main effects and interactions were tested. Gender was taken into account by equalizing numbers across subgroups to the extent possible. No statistically significant results or trends based on treatment were discovered as main effects or interactions in part one. The "achievement gap" between African-American and Caucasian students was confirmed in all achievement measures except science GPA, where only ability, not ethnicity or treatment, was found to be of significance as a main effect. Though not of statistical significance, a pattern favoring low ability REB subgroups and high ability SPD subgroups was noted. Analysis of survey results indicated that groups and subgroups differed significantly in scores for effectiveness of the schedules overall, and for the classroom activities subscale. Groups and subgroups consistently rated the effectiveness of the SPD higher. On only one measure did any subgroup rate the REB higher than the SPD: Caucasian males rated effectiveness of classroom activities slightly higher in the REB. The largest opinion differences were exhibited between African-American males and Caucasian males. African-American males rated the SPD classroom activities higher than did any other subgroup, and the REB lower (at exactly neutral) than did any other subgroup.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.
Download or read book Effect of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement Scores on the Pennsylvania System of Assessment Eleventh Grade Math and Reading Exams written by Randall A. Grove and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study quantitatively examined the effect of block scheduling on student achievement. Specifically, the study compared student achievement as measured by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) Reading and Math exams between students in block scheduled schools and traditionally scheduled schools. The sample for this study included over 53,000 individual student scores from public high schools in the south central region of Pennsylvania. The data sets used for analysis included individual student test results from the 2003, 2004 and 2005 administrations of the 11th grade PSSA Math and Reading Exams. This study utilized a hierarchical linear model analysis to examine the effects of school schedule type while attempting to control for student and school level variables. The dependent variables for level one were: IEP status, LEP status, economically disadvantaged status, gender and ethnicity. The dependent variables for level two were: school setting, percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and schedule type. Analysis of the data indicated that school schedules had no statistically significant impact on student achievement scores after controlling for student and school level variables. The study included an extensive literature review and implications for further research both nationally and in Pennsylvania. Contains 90 references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial body of research has sought to explain racial achievement gaps in education (Ogbu, 2003; Lee, 2002; Jencks & Phillips, 1998; Ferguson, 1998a; Ferguson, 1998b). Although these gaps narrowed between 1970 and 1988 (Lee, 2002), they began to increase after that time. Most often, research exploring the gap has examined the relative influence of various factors exogenous to schools (e.g., students? race, social class, peer culture, and home environments) or school and classroom organizational factors (e.g., tracking and teachers? expectations of students). Much less research has examined the impact of school-based interventions designed to address directly the racial gaps in achievement. In this paper, the authors examine the impact of an adolescent literacy intervention intended to accelerate the learning of ninth-and 10th-grade students, particularly African-American students, who struggle with reading comprehension. This strategy combines an instructional intervention and a focus on building positive teacher-student relationships designed to enhance student achievement.
