This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between student mobility and academic achievement as measured by the North Carolina End-of-Grades (EOG) Tests in Reading and Mathematics among North Carolina middle-school students in Cumberland County schools. A secondary purpose of this study is to examine the difference between reading and mathematics EOG test scores of mobile and non-mobile middle school students by gender and race. This study focuses on the issue of student mobility and its impact on academic achievement as measured by the North Carolina End-of-Grade Test in reading and mathematics. The population of the study was comprised of a cohort of 476 middle school students over a four-year period in the Cumberland County School System. Students were identified as mobile if they had changes other than promotional moves, for example elementary to middle school. Non-mobile were identified as those students who made only promotional moves. All students in the study were from single family homes and were also identified as socio-economically disadvantaged at the beginning of the study. The study explored a non-experimental two group comparison design using existing data. Seemingly, this study, in spite of its limitations, has added to the body of existing literature providing interesting insight to the effects of multiple moves on end of grade test results. Middle school students who were classified as mobile exhibited a significantly lower performance on the EOG tests for reading and math. Mobility, beyond the transition from elementary school to middle school, appears to have a negative effect on performance on high stakes accountability testing such as the EOG tests in reading and math. This was observed at all grade levels where data was collected. The effect of mobility on the performance on EOG reading and math tests was also examined as it affects the performance of males and females. Males were observed to perform significantly better on the reading EOG tests. Their performance on the EOB math test was varied. Finally, the effect of mobility on middle school students' performance on EOG reading and math tests was examined as it related to race. White mobile students scored higher than Black mobile middle school students on the EOG reading and math tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is threefold: First to develop measures of alternative types of student mobility; second to document the magnitudes of each type of mobility in aggregate and by student income, race/ethnicity, and immigrant status; and third to analyze how mobility of different types affects student academic performance. Although mobility is an oft discussed phenomenon, inadequate attention has been paid to the alternative ways that it can be defined, how the alternatives differ and which alternatives appear to be of sufficient size to be of consequence to policy and practice. Previous research on mobility often focuses on the impact of changing schools on an individual's academic achievement. As an example, Hanushek, Kain and Rivkin (2004) find that switching schools is harmful to student growth in performance in the year following a switch, even when switching is required because students reach the top grade offered at their school. Other researchers find that academic performance is lower among students who have changed schools in previous years, whatever the reason, (Alexander et al, 1996; Rumberger and Larson, 1998; Swanson and Schneider, 1999). Relatively little attention has been paid in the existing quantitative analyses to distinguishing between different types of mobility i.e., midyear vs. between year; annual vs. cumulative. By providing district level statistics on alternative types of student mobility, this report may help policymakers decide which types of student mobility are important for districts to report regularly. Defining alternative measures may help both policymakers and researchers identify the types of mobility that are the most harmful to student performance and effectively design and target interventions. The main findings of this study are that there is considerable mobility into grades 2 through 8 from outside the New York City school district, across schools, across years for students staying in the district, and some mobility even across schools within academic years. Furthermore, over time, between 6% and 7% enter into each grade of a cohort, and students move several times over their schooling history in the city district. In addition, the entrants and frequent movers have characteristics that are generally associated with harder to educate children. Finally, student mobility has a consistently negative effect, ceteris paribus, on 8th grade reading scores, although the statistical significance of the effect is sensitive to the specification used in the analysis. The report is organized as follows. In the second section, we describe the sources of data. In this section, as throughout the report, we present more detailed information in a separate box in the text. The third section introduces alternative measures of student performance, the fourth section presents magnitudes of annual mobility, and the fifth section does a cumulative mobility analysis. The sixth section analyzes moves in terms of the characteristics of new schools and moves coincident with significant moves in student residence, as measured by zip code changes. The seventh section analyzes the effects of alternative measures of mobility on student performance for New York City (NYC) elementary and middle school (hereafter primary schools) students and the last section concludes.

Book excerpt: This study is initiated to determine if students' mobility has a negative effect on the academic achievement in Math and English. It discusses findings based on interviews with families. It also covers the impact of an intervention program aiming to minimize mobility's effect on students. The study extends throughout two years. In 2006-2007 the total number of students is 389, and in 2007-2008 the total number of students is 367. The sample comprises of students of grade 6, 7 and 8 who are divided into two groups: mobile and no mobile students. Their results of the year 2006-2007 are taken and compared. The comparison shows that the no-mobile (stable) students performed better than the mobile ones in Math and English. The intervention program comprises a set of strategies used to lessen the effect of mobility. The analysis shows that these strategies are effective, and they helped the students to overcome some of the academic problems in English but not in Math.
