This book was released on 2007 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not having a laptop computer for individual use 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week lessens differences between how eighth grade girls and eighth grade boys in 10 middle schools in Henrico County, Virginia perceive computer use and computer technology. Having a laptop computer to use at any time of the day or night eliminates the issue of competition between boys and girls for computer use. It also eliminates the need for either girls or boys to perform in front of other students while learning, thus lessening to some degree, feelings of computer anxiety. Competition for computer access and computer anxiety are two theories that have been offered to explain why many young women in previous studies have chosen not to use computers to the same extent that young men do, as well as why many young women generally do not consider computer-related careers as career options in their futures. A modified Computer Attitude Questionnaire, based upon the CAQ, Version 5.14 was used to survey eighth grade girls and boys in 10 Henrico County middle schools. Data collected from the surveys were analyzed using the statistical package, SPSS 14 for Windows. Comparisons were based on gender and on the self-reported race/ethnicity of the participants. A comparison of attitudes related to the number of computers already in the home in addition to the school-issued laptop was also conducted. A variety of statistical analyses were used in order to determine differences in attitudes between the boys and girls surveyed and the interactions between the attitudes of the respondents and their race/ethnicity. This was a non-experimental, quantitative, comparative research study.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This research project compared mean scores for political affiliation (pro-statehood, pro-independence, or pro-commonwealth), level of parental education (elementary school, high school diploma or college degree) time spent in the mainland (less than 3 months, between three and twelve months or more than 12 months) and gender (male or female) against indexes and subscales of the Espejo de Actitudes, a Spanish-language version of selected indexes and subscales of the Attitude-Motivation Test Battery. The indexes tested comprised the Instrumental Index, the Motivation Index, the Instrumental Index and the English Anxiety Index. The component subscales of the Integrative Index were the Attitudes Towards Americans, Attitudes Towards Foreigners and the Integrative Orientation. The Motivation Index comprised the Interest in Foreign languages, Desire to Learn English and Motivational Intensity subscales. The English Class Anxiety and English Use Anxiety subscales composed the English Anxiety Index. Results indicated that political affiliation, time spent on the mainland and gender had no significant differences in mean scores on any of the Indexes or subscales. Level of Parental Education yielded two potentially significant results. Students whose parents have only reached an elementary-school level of education as their highest education level attained might be statistically more likely to have lower scores on the Integrative Index and the Interest in Foreign Languages subscales. Given the limited number of cases corresponding to the elementary-education level of the parental education predictor variable (n = 1), which prevented SPSS from being able to conduct post-hoc analysis, the more prudent and responsible conclusion to draw is that Puerto Rican 9th grade public school students whose parents only have an elementary school education are potentially statistically more likely to have a lower score on the Integrative Index of the Espejo de Actitudes. Overall, results indicate that Puerto Rican 9th grade public-school students have slightly positive overall levels of motivation to learn English and a neutral attitude toward the instrumental and integrative value of learning English. Their level of English anxiety in the classroom and when using English in general is equally neutral. They have a moderately positive interest in foreign languages and self-report moderate levels of effort applied to learn English. They have a slightly positive desire to learn English and a slightly favorable attitude towards Americans. They have a neutral attitude towards foreigners, but have a moderately negative affective reaction to learning English. Attitude towards foreigners was a significant predictor of affective reaction to learning English to a marked degree while overall motivation levels and overall value of learning English for integrative reasons were also significant predictors with a moderate degree of correlation. Attitudes towards Americans, overall motivation levels and overall value of learning English for integrative reasons were significant predictors of desire to learn English with a high degree of correlation while self-reported effort was a significant predictor of desire to learn English with a moderate degree of correlation. Integrative orientation, English use anxiety and the instrumental value of learning English were significant predictors of English class anxiety a high levels of correlation. The instrumental value of learning English, English class anxiety and integrative orientation were significant predictors of English use anxiety with high levels of correlation.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a 2002 National Center for Education Statistics report, 98% of schools in 2001 were connected to the Internet and 63% of public classrooms had Internet connections. According to a 2003 United States Census Bureau report, 68.3% of homes with children subscribed to the Internet. These statistics reveal the scope of access children have to the Internet. This study focused on the childrenâs voice by investigating the childrenâs report of their online activities and their awareness of cyber security, ethics, and safety issues. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the specific reported online activities and Internet safety knowledge of children aged 10-14 years along with their report of parental supervision of their Internet use. The study included data gathered from 446 self-administered surveys completed by 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade students in a rural school district in East Tennessee. An analysis of the research confirmed that as children mature, they increase their use of the Internet and their participation in unsafe online practices. The findings indicated that the most common online practices reported by the middle-grade students included emailing, social networking (MySpace), instant messaging, publishing and sharing information about their favorite sports and activities, and using secret codes while messaging with friends. The results of this study indicated significant relationships between the household placement of the computer and the frequency of unsafe online practices; students with computers in private locations reported unsafe online practices with twice the frequency of those with computers that could be monitored. The findings reflected that, in general, students were knowledgeable about unsafe Internet practices and engaged primarily in safe practices; however, many did report practices that could potentially place them at risk. The results from this study demonstrate a need for Internet safety programs to educate parents.
