Дисертація на здобуття наукового ступеня кандидата економічних наук за спеціальністю 08.00.04 – економіка та управління підприємствами (за видами економічної діяльності). – Національний технічний університет "Харківський політехнічний інститут", Харків, 2020. Дисертація присвячена розробці і науковому обґрунтуванні теоретичних і науково-методичних підходів щодо оцінки впливу конкурентної стратегії на результативність діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості. На основі дослідження сучасних поглядів провідних науковців щодо сутності та існуючої систематизації видів конкурентних стратегій підприємства, виявлено різноманітність підходів та класифікаційні розмежування, згідно яких, однi типи конкуpентних cтpaтегiй пеpетинaютьcя, iншi ‒ доповнюють однa одну. Ґрунтуючись на принципах системного підходу, проведено систематизацію видів конкурентних стратегій, з урахуванням сучасних реалій господарювання промислових підприємств та викликів вітчизняної економіки, що дозволяє розширити теоретичний базис формування портфелю конкурентних стратегій відповідно до рівня прогнозної результативності діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості.
Досліджено сучасні підходи провідних науковців до визначення та сутності поняття "результативність діяльності підприємства". Обґрунтовано характеристику результативності діяльності підприємств та визначено її взаємозв'язок з результатами реалізації конкурентних стратегій, що стало підґрунтям систематизації теоретико-методичних підходів при уточненні дефініції "результативність діяльності підприємства" в проекційному представлені, як основи для формування класифікації конкурентних стратегій залежно від очікуваної результативності. Здійснений аналіз конкурентної ситуації та результативності діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості показав наявність активної діяльності, направленої на підвищення результативності та прагнення до розробки нових дієвих конкурентних стратегій. Досліджено фактори та здійснено оцінку їх впливу на забезпечення досягнення результативності діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості. Виявлено, що фактори впливають різною мірою на різні проекції результативності. У зв’язку з тим, що оприлюднені КС не завжди відповідають фактичній поведінці підприємства на ринку, а також для визначення стратегій інших підприємств, розроблено методичне забезпечення до експрес-оцінки проекцій результативності діяльності підприємств. Визначено перелік та здійснено аналіз впливу факторів на загальну результативність діяльності промислового підприємства. Доведено, що кожен фактор впливає на різні проекції результативності. Побудовано матрицю впливу факторів на загальну результативність діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості вибіркової сукупності. Отримані результати досліджень стали підґрунтям розробки комплексного підходу до формування конкурентної стратегії, який базується на врахуванні рейтингу їх впливу. Визначено прогнозні рівні показників результативності підприємств ПрАТ "Кондитерська фабрика "Харків’янка" та ТОВ "ВКГ "Лісова казка" в результаті реалізації рекомендованих КС. Розроблені в роботі положення доведені до рівня методичних підходів, а їх практична реалізація у контексті оцінки впливу конкурентної стратегії на результативність діяльності підприємств кондитерської промисловості Харківського регіону довела їх практичну значущість і доцільність подальшого використання сформованого інструментарію.Thesis for a Candidate Degree in Economic Sciences in specialty 08.00.04 – Economics and Enterprise Management (according to the types of economic activity). – National technical university "Kharkiv polytechnic institute", Kharkov, 2020. One of the ways to solve the problem of increasing and stabilizing the level of competitiveness of industrial enterprises and expanding market share impact is the scientific justification of theoretical and methodological support for the development and evaluation of competitive strategy of industrial enterprises, its formation and quality implementation. The work is dedicated to the development and scientific substantiation of theoretical and scientific-methodical approaches to assessing the impact of competitive strategy on the performance of industrial enterprises. The conceptual apparatus content of the enterprise’s competitive strategy (CS) is investigated and the systematization of its types is carried out; the essence of the concept "the efficiency of the enterprise’s activity" is specified. Defining the conceptual apparatus content of the enterprise’s competitive strategy began with a preliminary definition of the categories such "strategy" and "competition", which are basic and fundamental for the disclosure of the research topic. Taking into account the generalization of existing approaches, it is proved that competitive strategy is one of the company's strategies, which is aimed at both competitors and consumers, and determines the type of behavior, compliance with which will help achieve strategic goals in a competitive market. The study of existing theoretical approaches to the essence of "performance" concept made it possible to clarify its complexity and versatility, and to identify three main areas of focus: to achieve the goal of functioning and its result; on the efficiency of activity; for further development. On the basis of approaches’ systematization "the efficiency of the enterprise’s activity" is offered to consider in projection representation. The study of the relationship between the content of the CS and the projections of effectiveness has led to the conclusion that the essence of some CSs is quite difficult to formalize, with some types of strategies generally aimed at obtaining comprehensive results. A more detailed description of the defined patterns of CS’s influence on the efficiency of the enterprise’s activity in accordance with the projections of effectiveness. The analysis of the competitive situation in the confectionery industry of Ukraine is carried out: the basic tendencies are investigated, their influence on efficiency of the domestic enterprises’ activity is defined, threats and possibilities of external environment’s influence for development of efficiency indicators are allocated. The published competitive strategies of the confectionery industry’s enterprises in Ukraine are investigated. Due to the fact that the published CSs do not always correspond to the actual behavior of the enterprise in the market, as well as to determine the strategies of other enterprises, it was developed methodological support for projections’ rapid assessment of the efficiency of the enterprise’s activity. The list is defined and the analysis of factors’ influence on the general efficiency of the industrial enterprise’s activity is carried out. It is proved that each factor affects different performance projections. A matrix of the factors’ influence on the overall efficiency of the confectionery industry’s enterprises of the sample is constructed. The obtained research results became the basis for the development of a comprehensive approach to the formation of competitive strategy, which is based on the rating of their impact. The forecast levels of the enterprises’ effectiveness indicators of PJSC "Kharkivyanka Confectionery Factory" and LLC "VKG "Lisova Kazka" as a result of the recommended CS’s implementation have been determined. The provisions developed in the paper are brought to the level of methodical approaches, and their practical implementation in the context of assessing the impact of competitive strategy on the efficiency of confectionery industry enterprises’ activity in the Kharkiv region proved their practical significance and feasibility of further use of the tools.

Full textAbstract:
One of the ways of enterprises activity ecologization is their wastewater treatment with the aim to decrease technogenic pressure on environment. Method of water treatment depends on its chemical content, conditions of its dumping to city drain system and so on. But the most natural and economically effective method of organic wastewater treatment is its biochemical aerobic or anaerobic treatment. Biological water treatment doesn’t need special chemical reagents, complicated mechanisms and big investments. And methane fermentation of organic wastes allows not only to reduce the level of water pollution, but also to receive the biogas that may be used for treatment process realization and also for other purposes.

Full textAbstract:
The recent financial instability in Ukraine and modern global tendencies in world economy have caused the necessity to find new financial recourses for innovation and investment activity of every competitive enterprise. Furthermore, the possibilities of self-financing and attraction of budgetary means, internal and external investments, banking credits, venture capital etc. are limited. This process is not only problematic, but expensive, risky and demanding highly experienced personnel. Besides it, every enterprise wants to receive maximum profit on the assumption of minimum costs. Thus the necessity to optimize the financial providing of enterprises’ innovation activity is obvious, and chosen direction of scientific research is topical enough.

The importance of physical activity in the classroom has been debated for decades. In this study, eleventh and twelfth grade suburban science classes were encouraged to conduct simple exercises at the beginning of class. While the overall performance, attitudes, retention of concepts and confidence of students showed no improvement, the data indicated that their in-class energy levels were more positively affected.

Full textAbstract:
To promote active and healthy lifestyles in schoolage
children, many afterschool
physical activity programs offer students opportunities to participate in a variety
of physical activities. The effects of such programs on studentsâ levels of physical
activity, however, depend largely on whether the students are motivated to participate
and to demonstrate high levels of engagement behaviors in the programs. Therefore, it is
critical for researchers and teachers to gain an understanding in this area. This study
utilized a trichotomous achievement goal model to explore and describe what actually
happened in terms of studentsâ achievement goals, attitudes, and disruptive behaviors in
an afterschool
physical activity program. More specifically, the purposes of the study
were fivefold: (1) to examine the reliability and validity of the scores generated by the
trichotomous model, (2) to identify achievement goals endorsed by students, (3) to
determine studentsâ attitudes toward the program, (4) to identify studentsâ disruptive
behaviors, and (5) to investigate the relationships among studentsâ achievement goals,
attitudes, attendance, and disruptive behaviors. Results of this study indicate the trichotomous model observed in academic
settings also existed among atrisk
elementary school students in an afterschool
physical
activity program and the scores generated by this model were valid and reliable.
Furthermore, students were found to score significantly higher on the mastery goal than
they did on the performanceapproach
and performanceavoidance
goals, demonstrate
positive attitudes, and display disruptive behaviors identified with the literature. Finally,
the mastery goal was found to be positively related to studentsâ positive attitudes and
negatively related to studentsâ selfreported
low engagement, whereas the performanceapproach
and performanceavoidance
goals were found to be positively related to
studentsâ selfreported
disruptive behaviors.
Overall, the findings of the present study provide empirical support for the
utilization of the trichotomous model in the context of afterschool
physical activity
programs. They also suggest the positive motivational effects of mastery goals observed
in the classroom and physical education can be translated in the context of an afterschool
physical activity program with atrisk
elementary school students. Therefore,
promoting mastery goals among students should become a high priority in afterschool
physical activity programs.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested the hypothesis that daily physical activity improves the executive function and academic achievement of 9- to 11-year-old children. The quasi-experimental, pretest–posttest design included 60 eligible fourth and fifth grade students (51.7% female, 98% Hispanic; 10.26 years of age). Twenty-five students elected to participate in school day, zero-hour (1 hour before school starts) physical activity program for 8 weeks. The 35 students who did not sign up for the program served as the control group as masked data provided by the school. Standardized measures, Adele Diamond flanker task and the Wide Range Achievement Test 4, assessed executive function and academic achievement, respectively. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to determine differences between groups on executive function and academic achievement. There were no observable benefits from daily physical activity on executive function and academic achievement. Convenience sampling and voluntary attendance potentially limited the effect of exercise on performance.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the adoption of Activity Based Cost Management (ABCM) by Small - and Medium - Sized Enterprises' (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector. A generic methodology is proposed, developed and tested to enable the target recipients to assess their requirements for an advanced costing system and to facilitate implementation of an ABCM solution. In support of the methodology, a literature survey, implementation survey and software review have been undertaken. The implementation survey considers the adoption of ABCM by European organisations and the application of published theory. This established the validity behind the adoption of ABCM by SMEs and defined implementation considerations. The software review reports an evaluation of software systems available in the United Kingdom. A software matrix is established by the author to enable organisations to assess their software requirement against their organisational and project orientation. The distinct and original methodology establishes the costing system requirement for SMEs. The methodology is based upon a critical examination of the processes, activities and data prevailing in an organisation. This enables an in-depth appraisal of organisational requirements and appropriate solutions to be facilitated. Part two of the methodology details the implementation of an operational ABCM solution. The designs of ABCM models for three organisations participating in the research programme are presented and the effects upon product and activity cost for these organisations is reported. Utilisation of the methodology and the implementation of ABCM in collaborating SMEs is critically appraised with theory proposed by prominent authors relating to ABCM implementations in large organisations. The thesis concludes with discussion of the proposed methodology and considerations for its adoption by SMEs. Overall conclusions are established and opportunities for exploitation and further research work are detailed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to discover if daily physical activity affects students' academic achievement on standardized tests and their physical health as measured by their body composition, body mass index, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.Purposeful sampling was used to recruit participants in this study. The experimental group consisted of 17 fourth-grade students who attend a rural Indiana school. The control group for this study consisted of 20 fourth-grade students who attend the same rural Indiana elementary school.After parental permission forms were returned from students in the experimental group, those 17 students participated in the daily physical activity program that met for approximately 20 minutes each day from January 31, 2002 through April 12, 2002. The researcher taught the daily physical activity program that involved aerobic activities during which the students wore heart rate monitors to help them monitor their heart rates. The goal for each activity time was for the students to maintain a heart rate between 150 and 200 beats per minute. The focus of the daily physical activity program was on cardiovascular wellness. The control group consisted of 20 students who participated in their school's regular physical education program offered one day a week for 45 minutes. During the time that the experimental group participated in the daily physical activity program, the students in the control group were at recess where they could participate in unstructured activities of their choice.Data was collected and compared from standardized test scores, and health data provided by an independent organization, The Caylor Nickel Foundation, to determine if there was a significant difference between the control group and experimental group in their academic achievement and physical health factors.Univariate analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine any significant differences between the groups (p =.05). The results indicated no significant difference between the control and experimental groups in academic achievement as measured by the NWEA Test in the areas of language, reading, and math. No significant difference was found in the cholesterol levels or the diastolic blood pressure of the two groups of students. A significant difference was found between the groups in their body composition, body mass index and systolic blood pressure. It was found that the experimental group had healthier results in their body composition, body mass index, and lower systolic blood pressure levels.School of Physical Education

Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att genom en litteraturgranskning undersöka om ökad fysisk aktivitet har något samband med inlärningen och skolprestationerna hos barn i åldrarna 6-12 år. Metod: Litteratursökningen i databaserna CINAHL och Academic Search Elite resulterade i 15 artiklar som publicerats de senaste fem åren. Artiklarna har kvalitetsgranskats och därefter sammanställts. Resultat: Fysisk aktivitet i samband med inlärning har i ett flertal studier visat sig leda till positiva resultat genom snabbare svarstid, noggrannhet och uppmärksamhet. Barnen som deltog i aeroba aktiviteter blev mer uthålliga och kunde behålla fokus längre vid de kognitiva testerna. Det skolämne som en signifikant skillnad kunde utläsas i var matematik följt av stavning och läsning. Olika interventionsprogram för att främja barns fysiska aktivitet har visat en positiv effekt i skolresultat och kognitiva tester. Slutsats: Föreliggande litteraturstudie visar att en ökad fysisk aktivitet har en positiv inverkan på barns inlärning och skolresultat genom förbättrad koncentrationsförmåga och noggrannhet.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis concerns the interplay between multinational enterprises (MNE) and spatial economies, with an orientation towards the location and spillover effects of inward foreign direct investments (FDI). The thesis consists of four essays that are self-contained studies. The first essay relates to the shift away from FDI in manufacturing to services and examines whether service FDI locates differently from manufacturing FDI. The second essay concerns the relationship between FDI and public incentives and whether investment promotion schemes are useful to attract FDI. The third essay examines the link between human capital and FDI and how different types of skilled workers influence FDI location. Taken together, these three essays examine conditions and factors that determine the location decision of foreign MNEs in the contemporary era of globalisation. The forth essay examines whether labour mobility is a potential source for spillovers from FDI in a spatial context. Although the latter essay does not provide any final answer to whether spillovers actually arise through this channel, it shows that the potentials for an effect to arise are larger in some regions than others because there are very few or no such knowledge spillover agents in many parts of the country. The thesis concludes by discussing the link between FDI and the policy work on regional development, and some avenues for future studies.QC 20130816

Lynn, Courtney. "Does Physical Fitness Predict the Reading Achievement of Fifth-Grade Students? The Interaction with Gender." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6306.
Full textAbstract:
States across the nation are facing pressure to meet standards for high stakes testing which is resulting in a decrease in the amount of time allotted to physical education (Ennis, 2006). Although the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2008) recommends children engage in 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day, on average, children only receive 30 minutes per day of aerobic exercise (Epstein et al., 2001). Despite this decrease in physical activity, research has shown that physical activity is associated with academic achievement (Ardoy et al., 2013). In addition, physical activity is positively related to physical fitness (Rowlands, Eston, & Ingledew, 1999), which has also been shown to have a positive relationship with academic achievement (Castelli, Hillman, Buck, & Erwin, 2007). This study is the first to look at how gender moderates the relationship between physical fitness and reading achievement.
Secondary data analyses were conducted with a total of 74, fifth-grade youth. All participants took the Fitnessgram (Plowman & Meredith, 2013) and Discovery Education (Discovery Education, 2014). The Fitnessgram is a standardized measure of physical fitness and activity levels used in schools. It is comprised of the Pacer (a measure of aerobic fitness), curl-ups, trunklift, flexed arm hang, and backsaver sit-and-reach. Discovery Education is a standardized, criterion-referenced assessment that measures students’ academic achievement in reading. The data were analyzed using regression analyses in order to determine the extent to which physical fitness predicts academic achievement and the extent to which gender moderates this relationship.
No measure of physical fitness (i.e., Pacer, curl-ups, trunklift, flexed arm hang, and backsaver sit-and-reach) significantly predicted academic achievement. In addition, gender did not significantly moderate any of the relationships. However, the small sample size utilized in this study limited the ability to detect an interaction. When all physical fitness components were included as predictors of academic achievement, the model accounted for less than 4% of the variability in academic achievement. The limitations, implications of findings, and directions for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Some U.S. small and medium enterprises (SMEs) participate in trade missions but return with no results. Accordingly, some researchers question the effectiveness of these export promotion programs. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the experiences of SME representatives who had attended a trade mission to South Africa. The research question explored the strategies that SME leaders required to successfully export their goods and services after a trade mission using the conceptual framework of resource-based theory. Snowball sampling was used to recruit and gather interview data from 22 SMEs. Thematic analysis of interview data and document sources, inductively and deductively coded, identified themes of strategic planning processes, country briefings, reasons for being in the country, resources, barriers, positive outcomes, and export commitments. Associated with these themes, 5 stages of the trade mission process and a model of the dynamic relationships in a trade mission emerged, which include recommendations of how to effect change in the process. The results from this study are expected to inform new interventions for export promotion programs for SME exporters. This study promotes social change by preparing SMEs to export, thus building more sustainable U.S. businesses. Applying these findings can support the development of SMEs to export and become long-term exporters benefiting the businesses, employees, and their communities through improved wages and increased tax revenues.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual minority youth (i.e., youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or who report same-sex attractions) disproportionally experience negative mental health and academic outcomes. Yet, few studies have examined positive youth development for this population. The goal of these three manuscripts is to add new information about positive developmental contexts for sexual minority youth in order to generate ideas for intervention and prevention. More specifically, the focus of these three manuscripts is on school-based extracurricular activity involvement of sexual minority youth.Manuscript one presents results from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health that compare sexual minority and heterosexual youth involvement in school-based extracurricular activities. Results documented that sexual minority youth are involved in school-based extracurricular activities at the same frequency as their heterosexual peers. For all youth, there was a small, but positive association between extracurricular activity involvement and school connectedness. School connectedness was associated with better mental health (i.e., higher self-esteem and lower depression), and these associations were stronger for sexual minority youth.Manuscript two presents results from the Preventing School Harassment Study that examine lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) youth involvement in Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs). GSAs are extracurricular clubs that are tailored to the needs of LGBQ youth. This study examined the concurrent associations among GSA presence, GSA membership, and participation in GSA-related social justice activities, with victimization based on sexual orientation and school-based and civic outcomes. GSA presence and participation in GSA-related social justice activities were positively associated with school belongingness and grade-point average (GPA), and GSA membership was associated with greater school belongingness. Results suggested, however, that the positive benefits of GSA presence and social justice involvement dissipate at high levels of school victimization.Manuscript three extends findings from manuscript two by examining the associations among GSA presence, GSA membership, perceived GSA effectiveness, and young adult well-being. The study utilized the Family Acceptance Project and found that the presence of a GSA, membership in a GSA, and GSA effectiveness differentially predicted LGBT young adult well-being. In some cases, these three facets of GSAs buffered the negative effect of LGBT-specific school victimization.

Full textAbstract:
The work of the collective research in this thesis is to provide concise insights about the inputs that are responsible for the process by which young adults develop civic competence and how this translates into active participation among young adults in the political process over time. Research for this thesis explores how key concepts of socialization, task generalization, shifts in young adult voting trends between 1972-2008, the role of social research statistics, and political theory informs the role of socialization in the development of civic competence in young adult voters. This thesis also explores critical social contexts, direct and indirect influence of family units, how critical moments in the academic careers of young adults take effect in college and ultimately young adulthood, what shifts in voting trends further indicate, and lastly the role that social media plays in the modern landscape of young adults becoming politically active and in a larger effort to assess core features of the young adult involvement in the political process following the passage of the 26th Amendment based on scholarly research in the aforementioned areas and relevant national studies.
By all cited statistics, with the exception of the 2008 presidential election, voting among young adults since 1972 has fallen precipitously. Contrary to traditional beliefs, which suggest that young adults are disengaged with the political process, key research findings indicate a shift in the means by which young adults engage in the political process. For example, at an increasing rate since 1972 young adults seek demonstrate their participation in the political process through hands on mechanisms such as volunteerism. Secondly, given the advent of Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and other social networks, young adults have largely transitioned the ways that they gather information about the political process from traditional means, such as newspapers, televised news broadcasts to social networks. Personal suggestions for increasing rates of young adult participation in the political process include a critical need for civic education curriculum in schooling systems that present contextual lessons on civic duty and how individual participation fits in the political process. Ultimately, the aim of this research is twofold: (1) to explain what are the key drivers of young adult participation in the political process, and (2) to shed light on the role young adults have in reshaping the political process for current and future generations.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the extent to which Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) operating in Uganda's electricity industry engage in corporate political activity (CPA)1, and how this in turn influences regulatory institutionalisation. It deploys an exploratory, qualitative multi-case study approach drawing on semi-structured interviews, archival materials, media reports and fieldwork notes for data collection. Data analysis is informed by an NVivo-supported grounded analytic method. The findings indicate that MNEs deploy heterogeneous CPA strategies to respond to pro-market reform in emerging markets undergoing regulatory institutionalisation. Some of the most important responses reflect divergences in configuring the relationship with the host government and in nurturing adaptable and anticipatory political embeddedness. Deeper analysis in turn links these divergent responses to the degree of engagement with five underlying perspectives - competing multi-stakeholder demands; challenges of getting locally embedded; accommodation of Africa as an emerging political market; the implications of institutional fragility; and the demands of an evolving political environment. Uganda emerges thereby as a laboratory for diverse CPA strategies targeting other emerging markets in the region. The primary contribution to knowledge concerns the CPA research domain, adding to it perspectives on antecedents and a typology of CPA in emerging markets undergoing regulatory institutionalisation. There is a further synthesis to address political capability theory (and its integration in broader organisational capability theory) by clarifying the nature and the patterns of development of corporate political capabilities in such emerging markets. At a secondary level, there is also a contribution from an institutional theoretic perspective regarding corporate political influence on the process of emerging institutionalisation. This translates into evidence for a co-evolutionary relationship between emerging institutionalisation and CPA. Finally, there is a policy perspective that is addressed in the recommendations of the study.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of affect on learning and performance has caused many researchers in the field of cognitive psychology to acknowledge the value of motivationally supportive instruction. Goal orientation, which refers to the perceptions and behaviors of the learner in achievement situations, has been the most predominant theory in learning motivation. However, research suggests multiple components are responsible for affecting student cognitive engagement. The traditional framework distinguishes individuals who are self-motivated to master challenging tasks from those who are motivated to earn favorable judgments of performance as intrinsic and extrinsic learners, respectively. In addition, learners may be further categorized by an eagerness to ensure a positive outcome or by their vigilance in avoiding negative outcomes. As such, my research explores how these motivational categories can be utilized to construct a more robust instructional model.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive remediation strategies on motivation and learning performance. Research suggests the cost of integrating cognitive tasks with error analysis outweigh the benefits of sparse learning gains. However, further investigation is required to understand how feedback can improve these outcomes. The experiment presented here seeks to evaluate the adaptive instruction of two pedagogical agents embedded within two separate versions of the Virtual BNI Trainer. The basic coach uses a model of the learner's experience level to determine an appropriate level of elaboration required during remediation. In contrast, the motivationally enhanced coach uses a model of the learner's goal orientation to construct feedback that appeals to their natural disposition.
A controlled experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of adaptive instruction on student self-efficacy, engagement, and learning performance in the Virtual BNI Training Environment. The results of this experiment are used to establish guidelines for integrating goal orientation, error analysis, and feedback within a virtual coach, to improve motivation and learning performance. In addition, these findings also indicate areas for future research.

Full textAbstract:
A safe (free from gang activity) and disciplined school environment conducive to learning is mandated by federal legislation such as the No Child Left Behind Act. Research has concentrated on reasons for gang activity in the school and the community as well as leadership in general but there is a void in the literature as it relates to the type of leadership in schools that is successful in limiting gang activity in schools that are less gang-impacted than the community from which they draw. Research questions include: (1) what do principals say about how they lead in gang-impacted schools that have fewer gang-related incidents than the community from which they draw their population and (2) what is the connection between principal leadership style and the presence of relatively fewer gang-related incidents in schools than in the community from which they draw their population? This phenomenological study answered the question of how principals lead in gang-impacted schools with a more favorable environment than the communities they serve through interviews, observations and document analysis. The final product is the portraits and stories of principals' relationships with gang-impacted schools and the central concept of leadership in these types of schools. According to the three participants interviewed in this study, both transactional and transformational leadership attributes are necessary to lead a gang-impacted school that has fewer gang-related incidents than the community from which it draws. The underlying conclusion in this research study is that leaders who display more transformational leadership than transactional leadership attributes are more successful in gang-impacted schools. As a result of this study, principals who are placed in schools identified as being gang-impacted will be better equipped to identify and practice leadership behaviors that have worked for other school leaders. In addition, school districts will be better able to identify and provide staff development to and for potential leaders as it relates to leadership.Ed. D.

The study of self-esteem has spanned more than a century, with theorists approaching it from many and varied standpoints. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity, self-esteem and academic achievement in grade 4 children at a private school in South Africa. A correlational research design was used to investigate the relationships between the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale, 2nd Edition, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children, and Academic Achievement. The results indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between self-esteem and academic achievement (r = 0.420). Correlations were noted between levels of physical activity and physical self-concept (r = 0.486) and between academic achievement and intellectual and school self-concept (r = 0.562). Future research beyond merely correlational analysis would provide more insight into the nature of the relationships.Mini Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative correlational study was to investigate the relationship between academic achievement and health in a national sample of college students using quantitative data analysis. Specifically, the researcher analyzed the relationship between three health-promoting behaviors (physical activity, strength training, and fruit and vegetable consumption), three negative health behaviors (cigarette, e-cigarette, and opioid use) and obesity with GPA.
Cross-sectional data on student health collected from the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA-II) and completed by 426,650 college students from 650 U.S. colleges during the semesters between 2015 and 2019 formed the foundation for this research. Nine research questions were addressed using a series of chi square tests.
Results showed there was a significant positive relationship between health behaviors and grade average. Students who met the recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption, moderate activity and vigorous physical activity were more likely to have GPAs than those who did not. Students who used cigarettes, opioids, or were obese were more likely to have GPAs.

One class of each teacher was assigned as experimental group and treated with hands-on activity enriched instruction and other class was assigned as control group and treated with traditional instruction. At the beginning of the study, both teachers were trained for how to implement hands-on activity enriched instruction in the classrooms. The Science Achievement Test and The Science Attitude Scale were applied twice as pre-test and after three week treatment period as a post-test to both experimental and control groups to assess and compare the effectiveness of two different types of teaching utilized in science course. The data obtained from the administration of post-test were analyzed by statistical techniques of Multivariate Analyses of Covariance (MANCOVA). The statistical result indicates that hands-on activity enriched instruction was more effective than traditional instruction. However, the statistical results failed to show a significant difference between the experimental and control groups attitudes toward science.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M.A.(Educational Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between educational achievement (EA) and physical activity (PA) among rural secondary school learners based on the hypothesis that PA boasts educational achievement. The participants (n=275) (164 girls and 111 boys) aged 17-27 were selected from three rural high schools at Xihoko Circuit, Limpopo Province in South Africa. Due to mounting pressures to reach adequate yearly progress, many school officials view non-assessed activities like Physical Education (PE) and recess as unnecessary, consequently creating a case for the elimination of any subject that is not directly measured through standardized testing. This action ends up depriving learners of one of the elements that they need to do well in the classroom. Participation in PE has been found to have many benefits, such as, improved EA and health. This is the only subject that provides learners with an opportunity for PA after long hours of sitting. Most of the evidence linking PA to student achievement comes from studies looking at the impact of PE classes. Overall, there seems to be consensus among those who have studied the issue that reducing the amount of instructional time devoted to “academic” subjects in order to devote more time to PE does not harm students’ EA. On the contrary, schools that have reduced their PE time have not seen reliable improvements in student achievement. Finding a link between EA and PA may make educational leaders to re-evaluate time spent during the school day. In this study, data was collected for one month. PA data were collected by means of a self-report Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire (YPAQ), whereas data on EA were obtained through Mathematics and English tests scores. The University of Limpopo granted ethical clearance for the study and the permission to access schools was given by the Department of Education, Limpopo. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18. The results revealed a low positive correlation (r = .079) for English and (r = .086) for Mathematics. The null hypothesis was rejected as a results of the chi-square test outcome which revealed that at p< 0.05, df = 2, the c2 = 8.06 for Mathematics and c2 =147.2 for English. Since these values are greater than 5.99 chi-square statistical value, it means that the relationship between EA and PA exists, though non-significant. This has important implications for the introduction of PE in the school curriculum in the face of increasing sedentary life styles among young people and declining education performance that is plaguing our education system.

Full textAbstract:
Increased levels of obesity, particularly among American youth, have consistently been cause for concern over the last few decades. Additionally, the amount of time youth spend being active throughout the day has consistently decreased. Physical activity levels among school-aged children in America are effected by any number of reasons, but this study points to the possibility of time spent being physically active during the school day having the greatest effect on a student’s overall level of physical activity. Increased pressures from different entities on local schools to improve student performance on standardized test scores have contributed to a decline in students’ time spent being active during the school day. The inverse relationship that exists between levels of obesity and amount of time spent being active is a call to action and cause for more research in this area if a solution is to be reached with the obesity epidemic in America.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased physical activity on the academic performance of elementary students in a rural, Central Kentucky community. Academic performance is an overarching term that encompasses academic achievement through standardized testing, academic behavior, and cognitive skills and abilities. Ninety students in 4th and 5th grade with an average age of 10 from one elementary school participated in the study.
After obtaining parental consent and students’ verbal consent, students were divided into two intervention groups and one control group. Each intervention group received extra physical activity for three days a week for four weeks. Activity for students was measured with an EKHO MVPA accelerometer for the duration of each activity session during their respective intervention weeks. Standardized test scores were obtained through the school’s measure of academic progress (MAP) assessment. Student behavior was assessed through direct systematic observation and teacher-based questionnaires. Finally, the STROOP color word test was used to measure student’s cognitive processes and executive functioning skills.
The results from the STROOP color word test provided evidence of a significant relationship between physical activity and cognitive skills (ttest1=2.63, p < .01, ttest2=7.14, p < .001). Additionally, the teacher-based questionnaire demonstrated a significantly positive relationship between physical activity and student behavior (t = -2.65, p < .01). Boys were significantly more active than girls (tfemale = -2.71, p < .01). There were also significant correlations between females and the teacher-based questionnaires, the white race and the STROOP color word test, and the white race and on-task behavior. No significant relationships were found between physical activity and overall academic performance or academic achievement.

Bartholomew, Scott. "A Mixed-Method Study of Mobile Devices and Student Self-Directed Learning and Achievement During a Middle School STEM Activity." DigitalCommons@USU, 2016. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/4748.
Full textAbstract:
The increasingly ubiquitous nature of mobile devices among K-12 students has led many to argue for and against the inclusion of mobile devices in K-12 classrooms. Some have conjectured that access to mobile devices may enable student self-directed learning.
This research used a mixed-method approach to explore the relationships between mobile devices and student achievement and self-directed learning during a Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) activity in a middle school Technology and Engineering Education classroom. In this study, 706 students from 18 classes worked in groups of 2-3 to complete an open-ended engineering design challenge. Students completed design portfolios and constructed prototypes. Classes were randomly divided with some receiving access to mobile devices during the study while others did not. Additionally, randomly assigned classes completed the design portfolio electronically while others completed the portfolio on paper. Final student portfolios and products were assessed using adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ). In ACJ, judges view two artifacts (portfolios or products) electronically and choose the better of the two. Repeating this process, a number of times produced a rank-order for the artifacts. The rank order for student portfolios and products represented student achievement. Statistical analyses of student access, portfolio type, student self-directed learning, and student achievement were conducted.
Thirty student interviews and five teacher interviews were conducted and interviewees were asked questions regarding mobile devices, self-directed learning, and their experience during the study. Responses from the interviews were transcribed and coded using causation and thematic coding techniques. The resulting themes from the interviews helped clarify the quantitative findings.
Findings from both the quantitative and qualitative analyses showed that student access to mobile devices was significantly correlated with higher scores on student design portfolios while student achievement on design products was independent of mobile device access. This suggests that mobile devices may improve student achievement in certain types of scenarios but not in others. Student self-directed learning was independent of mobile device access. Students and teachers both commented that mobile devices may be effective at increasing student self-directed learning or achievement but only through proper instruction and demonstration.
