perceptions of their chemistry teachers&rsquo
communication behaviours in their classroom learning environments and to investigate the learning strategies of students in chemistry classes considering school type, gender, and grade level differences. In this study, the Constructivist Learning Environment Questionnaire (CLES), the Teacher Communication Behaviour v Questionnaire (TCBQ) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were used as measuring instruments. In addition, the questionnaires included some questions for demographic characteristics of participants. The study was conducted in conveniently selected two schools (private and public) in Ankara with a total of 994 ninth and tenth grade students in the second term of 2006-2007 semesters. Data obtained from the administration of measuring instruments by using the analysis of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) The results of the study indicated that school type, gender and grade level of the students had significant effect on perception of classroom learning environment, teacher&rsquo
communication behaviour and perceived use of learning strategies. For instance, students in private schools perceived their classroom-learning environment more constructivist than student in public school. In addition girls rated that, their learning environment and teachers&rsquo
communication behaviours more favourably than did boys. The study also showed that students use rehearsal-learning strategy mostly in their chemistry classrooms.
Dunnavant, Heather Elise. "High School Graduation Coaches| Supporting At-Risk High School Students." Thesis, Lindenwood University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3720302.
Повний текст джерелаThis study investigated the effectiveness of a new dropout prevention program, Project WALK, which was launched at a low-income high school in Missouri during the 2012-2013 school year. After examining alarming dropout statistics, Washington High School chose 40 students to participate in a new program, Project WALK, which was designed to use graduation coaches to improve at-risk students' performance. The program's six graduation coaches formed relationships with at-risk students, monitored student progress, and consistently communicated with parents, teachers, and school administrators about the at-risk students. The researcher, an administrator at the school, gathered quantitative data to measure the effects of the intervention and qualitative data to measure the perceptions of the students who participated. The quantitative data collected for this study enabled the researcher to assess whether the graduation coach had an effect on each student's attendance, discipline, and number of credits earned during the time of the intervention compared to other years the student was in high school. The researcher considered secondary data in order to compare students' performances before and after the intervention and thus to test for a correlation between a student's being paired with a graduation coach and student outcomes such as attendance, discipline, and number of credits earned.
In addition to quantitative methods, the use of qualitative methods enabled the researcher to describe and analyze student perceptions of their experiences. Little is known about the perceived experiences of individual students who are considered to be at risk of dropping out of high school. Because qualitative data on this subject have been lacking, the qualitative component of the present study could lend greater insight into the effectiveness of interventions in students' lives. This study looked at 30 males, 10 females, 20 general education students, and 20 special education students. The results of this study indicated that the graduation coaches were beneficial in preventing dropouts, which suggests that the strategy of using graduation coaches is a promising one for serving at-risk students. These findings inform the work of educational specialists, practitioners, and school systems personnel who design interventions to help reduce the dropout rates in schools.

The study was conducted in Ankara with 425 tenth-grade students enrolled to general, Anatolian, foreign language and vocational high schools. Two measuring instruments were utilized: 1.Beliefs about Mathematics Scale (BaMS)
2.Beliefs about the Teaching of Mathematics Scale (BTMS). The validity and reliability of these scales were tested. The design of the present research is a casual-comparative study. The hypotheses of the present study were tested by using multivariate analysis of variance at the significance level 0.05. The results of the study indicated that:1. There are statistically significant differences among the mean scores of students enrolled to different kinds of high schools with respect to beliefs about mathematics and beliefs about the teaching of mathematics
2. There are statistically significant mean differences among students who have different mathematics achievement levels in terms of beliefs about mathematics and beliefs about the teaching of mathematics
3. There are statistically significant mean differences among students who are in different branches in terms of beliefs about mathematics and beliefs about the teaching of mathematics
4.There is no statistically significant mean difference between the male and female students on beliefs about mathematics. On the other hand, there is statistically significant mean difference between the male and female students on beliefs about the teaching of mathematics in the favor of female students.

Varner, Edward Lee. "Why High School Students Participate in Band." Thesis, Concordia University Chicago, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10640288.
Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study was to examine the factors that motivate high school students to participate in school band. The relationships between music education, academic success, and social engagement in school were explored. A survey questionnaire and interview questions were used to generate response data from 45 high school band members. Data were gathered, coded, and analyzed using qualitative survey and structured interview design techniques. A systematic approach was used to create a viable narrative that, when added to existing literature, provided a better understanding of the topic for those decision makers struggling to find justifications for how and why band is an important option for high school students. Findings from this study support earlier research and provide a strong case for the claim that many students are intellectually, emotionally, expressively, and musically nurtured by membership in school band. Stress relief was a powerful theme throughout student responses and many students indicated that band was an important place where they were able to build their strongest support relationships. The information acquired from this study provided insight into student perceptions about the value of band participation from environmental, behavioral, and cognitive viewpoints and highlighted the importance of band as a social and emotional support space where students are able to find sanctuary from the stressors of their lives.

Повний текст джерелаLe but de cette étude était de faire une analyse concernant les techniques d'enseignements favorites des étudiants fréquentant le deuxième cycle du secondaire dans le volet de compréhension de lecture de leur cours d'anglais langue seconde. Une autre cible de cette étude était de déterminer quelle était la compétence favorite des étudiants à développer durant les heures de cours. La meilleure méthode disponible afin de faire cette étude était la méthode de sondage quantitative. Le questionnaire s'orientait sur différentes techniques d'enseignements fréquemment utilisées dans les classes des cours d'anglais langue seconde. Les étudiants devaient prendre position en termes d'appréciation face à différentes techniques d'apprentissages utilisées en classe. Sur les 600 questionnaires distribués aux élèves de l'école secondaire de la Magdeleine, 227 questionnaires complétés ont été reçus. Les résultats de l'étude ont démontrés que les étudiants comprennent bien les valeurs de la majorité des exercices de lecture proposés dans les classes, mais ils ont parfois démontrés une certaine forme d'anxiété, de résistance et de paresse avec certaines activités d'apprentissages. La conclusion principale de cette étude est que les enseignants doivent trouver une manière de combiner les techniques les plus appréciées des étudiants avec quelques techniques moins affectionnées tout en tentant d'adapter ces techniques afin de garder les étudiants motivés durant les heures de cours.

Повний текст джерелаResearch indicated the transition from eighth grade into ninth grade can be a difficult time for students. His Grace High School (HGHS) ninth grade students illustrated this difficulty. The purpose of this study was to examine African American student and parent perceptions regarding the transition process into high school. Currently, all students and parents at HGHS participate in a two-part orientation session to prepare and acclimate to the new school community and learning environments. Orientation sessions are facilitated by predominately African American staff members; however, the premise of the session was developed and implemented by Caucasian staff and faculty. Furthermore, the manner in which the information is developed and shared with the African American students and parents does not consider or address the cultural needs of African American parents and students. Critical Race Theory, CRT, was used to measure inequality in education. According to Hiraldo (1994) scholars have used CRT as a framework to analyze and critique educational research and practices. Critical Race Theory attempts to address the cultural needs and disparities of minority students when compared to students of the dominant race.
The research questions provided additional information about the transition process and how the administration, faculty, staff, and school community can develop and implement a transition program that will assist both students and parents transitioning into HGHS. A qualitative analysis of the current transition process was conducted. Current freshmen students and parents completed surveys and participated in interviews about their experience with the transition process at HGHS.

Повний текст джерелаThis research attempts to fill this gap by considering four years of data provided by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) relating to achievement in mathematics. Acceleration in this study means the completion of the Year 12Mathematical Methods study during Year 11. The data constitutes experimental data for content acceleration and the results of students from schools without such acceleration programs provide the corresponding control data. However, the acceleration decision is not taken randomly by schools, so this data is only quasi-experimental in nature. The measures of mathematical achievement (Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics study scores) are carefully audited, and are accepted as reliable and valid by the Victorian education system. Controlling for individual characteristics such as gender and prior knowledge, and allowing for moderation effects due to school sector (Government, Catholic and Independent) and school class setting (single-sex or coeducational), the effects of content acceleration are measured using multi-level modelling.
This study examines the effects of acceleration on the VCE Mathematics study scores of students who completed both Mathematical Methods (Units 3&4) and Specialist Mathematics (Units 3&4) in Victoria, over a four-year period (2001-2004). On average this involved 5341 students from 341 schools in each year with 829 students included in a content accelerated program.
The results suggest that content acceleration is beneficial, especially for students with higher prior knowledge scores. The quasi-experimental nature of the data means that a causal relationship between acceleration and students’ mathematical performance can be claimed. In particular, this study showed that the effect of acceleration on students’ Mathematical Methods (the Year 12 study taken in Year 11 by accelerated students) study score was not significant. However, the effect of acceleration on students’ Specialist Mathematics study scores was significant. Accelerated students performed, on average,2.7 points higher (on a 50 point scale) than equal ability age-peers who were not accelerated. Interestingly, for accelerated students who scored in the top 2% for their General Achievement Test, in the mathematics, science and technology component, their Specialist Mathematics study scores were on average, almost 5 points higher (on a 50point scale) than their equal ability age-peers. The statistical control of other factors means that these results can also be generalised to other states, other countries and, probably, to other subjects.

By using an administered questionnaire, the study comprised a purposive sample of 552 senior high school and vocational high school students from grades 2 and 3 in Hsin-Chu County. The study had two aims:(1)to understand campus violence victimization of senior high school and vocational high school students; and (2)to analyze important factors to predict campus victimization. The study found that (1) being physically pushed around and making indecent gestures are the most popular forms of campus violence among students; (2) campus violence is most likely to happen in classrooms when schoolmates are present at the scene; (3) most campus violence victims don’t seek help. Victims would tell friends if help is needed; (4) male, tall and strong, vocational school students, mothers working in professional jobs, poor teacher-student students relationships, poor academic achievement and wearing designer’ products to school are the most significant predictors of victimization on campus. Three suggestions are made to prevent the victimization of high school students. First, schools might consider ruling out the family-related factors since they are least important to victimization on campus violence. Second, teachers should provide more assistance to potential victims via encouraging better interpersonal relationships, especially with teachers and classmates. Finally, vocational high schools need to make more efforts to construct a safer learning environment for their students.

This study uses a questionnaire and interviews to collect high school students' perspectives on such three ethics as families, lives, and vocations. Each ethic includes some items, like parents, brothers, and sisters in families, all kinds of relatives, teachers and students in the sixth roentgen, the ways to treat each other with respect among mankind. The living ethics involve four anchors, eight virtues, three virtues, youth rules, and investigations into viewpoints on birth, age, illness, death, joyous events, wealth, environmental protection, and learning. Vocational ethics enumerate some explorations into the proper courtesies of some relevant vocations to students, like teachers, lawyers, doctors, drivers, soliders, policemen, cleaners, vendors, civil workers, farmers, and merchants. Below are the conclusions and suggestions of this empirical study. First, the interviewed students' perspectives on proper courtesies of all ethics are penetrating and insightful. They enumerated all deeds of fuifilling filial piety, psychological adjustments of those people who failed in their undertakings, proper courtesies towards the social wise, care and guidance of persons receiving punishment in jail, administrative innovations of all kinds of weddings and funerals, expectations of doctors, nurses, judges, government officials, and bank employers, as well as the viewpoints on traditional four anchors and eight virtues. Interviewed students' opinions were also far-reaching and profound. It is fervently hoped that this study aims to render the harmonious progress in which people get along with one another in society some help. Second, Family ethics give top pritority to filial piety and loving family members, including father being benevolent and guiding, sons being filial and advising, elder brothers being loving and friendly, younger brothers being respectful and obedient, husbands being gentle and noticing righteousness principles, wives being meek and honest. Even more commendable, importance should be attached to family harmony, valuing righteousness, noting environmental factors, showing concern about the ethics of the others and outsiders. Third, Vocational ethics consist mainly in diligence. Respect should be given to the value of diligence. And we should cherish the sweet fruit of physical labor instead of indulging ourselves in chasing fame and fortune and rewards. We should learn the examples of offering society, such as Mother Teresa in india, the founder of Ford Car Mr. ford, Mr. Rockefeller of Rockefeller Foundation, Warren Edward Buffett, William Henry Bill Gates III, and Dharma Master Cheng Yen, in order to re-establish the values of vocation. Fourth, there exist many difficult items involving morality thoughs of living ethics and traditional ethics to be further defined and interpreted clearly. Although the result of clear definition does not necessarily achieve the completely mutual consensus, yet at least the problems may be identified and an understanding regarding others’perspectives and comprehension can be reached. The subsequent redefinition will enable educators to carefully re-examine educational measures afresh. Fifth, High school students could internalize moral conducts, cultivate values of ethics, and learn truthful wisdom through such activities as extensive reading, learning by doing, thoughs, critique, debate, and practice in the naturalistic and dialectical atmosphere, with a view to increasing multi-dimensional intelligence and introspection wisdom.

This study explored English learning motivation among Taiwanese vocational high school EFL students. One attempt of the study was to identify the motivational orientations. Another attempt was to investigate the relevance and characteristics of the integrative orientation and the instrumental orientation. The relationships among students’ motivational orientations, motivational intensity, and English academic achievement were also explored. A total of 328 commercial vocational high school students participated in the study. A Motivational Questionnaire was first developed and then administered to the participants. The questionnaire items were drawn from three sources: open-response questions, interviews with students, and a number of published questionnaires. The questionnaire contained three sections: Students’ Background Information, Motivational Orientations, and Motivational Intensity. The collected data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation analysis, and multiple regressions by SPSS for Widows Version 13.0. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was further performed by using LISREL 8.5 to confirm the causal relationships between the Motivational Orientations and English Academic Achievement. Five factors were extracted from Motivational Orientations: Intrinsic Motivation, Sociocultural Orientation, Entertainment, Pragmatic Uses, and Good Academic Performance. Significant correlations were found between each extracted factor among Motivational Intensity and English Academic Achievement. Furthermore, results of the SEM provided strong support for the proposed model, suggesting a causal relationship between motivational orientations and achievement. Four other major findings are as follows. First, Pragmatic Uses and Good Academic Performance could be categorized into the subsystem of the instrumental orientation. The vocational high school students tended to learn English mainly for practical reasons. Second, Sociocultural Orientation was closely associated with integrative orientation. The integrative orientation in this context could be identified by two distinct dimensions: a general interest in the foreign people and cultures and a desire to be integrated into the target community. Third, Intrinsic Motivation was potentially a main motivator of the language learning. Fourth, the female students consistently demonstrated significantly stronger motivation than their male counterparts in Motivational Intensity, Intrinsic Motivation, Sociocultural Orientation, Pragmatic Uses, and Good Academic Performance.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is a significant effect between parents’ and teachers’ goal orientation and students’ achievement motivation; in addition, it discussed the relationship among students’ achievement motivation, self-efficacy, and learning performance (including daily behaviors and academic performance). Participants in this study were the students, parents, and teachers from seven national junior high schools in Taoyaun County. A questionnaire was completed by each participant, and there were 754 copies valid. Results showed ten suggestions: (1) The more parents’ learning orientation was, the stronger students’ individual- oriented achievement motivation was. (2)There was no significant positive correlation between teachers’ learning orientation and students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation. (3) Parents’ learning orientation had more significant effect on students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation than teachers’ learning orientation did (4)The more parents’ performance orientation was, the stronger students’ social-oriented achievement motivation was. (5) There was no significant positive correlation between teachers’ performance orientation and students’ social-oriented achievement motivation. (6) Parents’ performance orientation had more significant effect on students’ social-oriented achievement motivation than teachers’ performance orientation did. (7) The stronger students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation is, the better their learning performance is. (8) The higher students’ self-efficacy is, the better their learning performance is. (9) The stronger students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation is, the higher their self-efficacy is. (10) Students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation will affect their learning performance through the mediating effect. This study focuses on the findings and gives managerial implications for the Ministry of Education (MOE) and educational institutions. Keywords: achievement motivation, goal orientation, self-efficacy, learning performance

ABSTRACT Taiwan has suffered from many kinds of calamities , and among them the 921 earthquake was the most destructive one , which shocked the whole island.After that quake , all the experts have devoted themselves to the reconstruction of the land use code and the conservation of soil.However, there's one more thing we should do that is to educate the teenagers to learn lessons from disasters. Once they acquire the know-how they can help relieve the impact, which is considered the first step to disaster prevention. Therefore, the focus of this report is to investigate students' awareness of the calamities which pose threats to the Taiwan area, including typhoons, floods, quakes, landslides, etc. The purpose of this research is to provide the authorities concerned with results and suggestions which can be helpful in the future planning. Some important research findings are as follows: 1. Materials of calamities in geography courses have been improved. They not only introduce the nature of a disaster but also stress on people's reaction and prevention.In awareness, students consider the continental movements have something to do with quakes, typhoons come from the low pressure systems on a tropical ocean; people's improper use and development of land cause floods and landslides , quakes and typhoons are considered as natural disasters, while landslides and floods man-made ones. 2. The majority of senior high school students know how much damage these calamities will do. But only 36.2 percent of them know the right frequency of a quake, there is a big difference between students in the north and in the east. The former think it has a longer cycle while the latter shorter one. Apparently, quakes are either overestimated or underestimated. However, students all acknowledge well that typhoons often occur between summer and fall and the main cause of a quake is the continental movement. Students are weak in answering where typhoons cause the most strong winds and rain, which is the task to be strengthened in the future. 3. In perception of the most hazard prone-areas, students recognize quakes occur often in the east,landslides in the central areas, and floods in the north. 4. Most students think quakes happening within a short time are most destructive , next are landslides, and then typhoons and floods. Furthermore , the students consider that earthquakes are most difficult to be controlled, while typhoons and floods are comparatively easier to handle. And , the landslides are considered to be the easiest one to deal with. 5. In behavior, there's no difference due to sex, experiences, locations, and living environment. It differs, however , from different grade of students. Grade 1 students are better than grade 2; and grade 2 are better than grade 3 students. 6. Most senior high school students hold a reasonable, positive attitude toward hazards. They know how to stay away from dangers and are willing to devote themselves instead of being indifferent.But the results differ in areas, grades, sexes. Boys are prior to girls;students in the east, center and south are prior to those in north; students in the east are prior to those in the south. As to grades, the first grade is prior to the second and third. 7. The priorities of students' fears are : landslides , quakes , and then floods . Among them, landslides, not quakes,are the most fearful.Few fear typhoons. 8. In behavior adaptation, most students take active action instead of suffering passively. They tend to expect that the government pay more attention to hazard prevention and related construction. To protect people, the government should not neglect this result. 9. The main information resources of students are from ; (1)TV and radio (2)school (3)newspaper and magazine. The most acceptable ways to educate them are (1)a visit to the striken areas(2)materials edited into the textbook.The most urgent hazards to be understood are (1)quakes (2)landslides (3)floods and (4)typhoons.In satisfaction, students are not satisfied with the relief and prevention jobs led by the government. They are less satisfied with “prevention education and promotion” and “preventive construction” than with “hazard prediction” .Students in the first grade feel more satisfied than the third ; the juniors are also more satisfied than seniors .

Повний текст джерелаThis study examined conceptions about earthquakes held by the selected high school students in Lesotho. A survey was carried out at one high school with students from three different grades; Form A students who had not yet received formal instruction about earthquakes, and Form C and Form D students who had dealt with the topic in school. Some of the students in the sample had experienced an earthquake. A diagnostic test was used to elicit conceptions from 130 students. Follow-up interviews were conducted with 6 students, with the purpose of probing certain responses from the test. In particular, test responses that were probed included; first, those which showed confusion between earthquakes and volcanoes, and second, those which used indigenous beliefs to explain causes of earthquakes. The conceptions held by students in the three grades were analysed and compared. From the results the following findings emerged: First, many students appear to be confused in their understanding between earthquakes and volcanoes, particularly those who had received classroom instruction on these concepts. Some of the students could not distinguish between an earthquake and a volcano, while others seem to think that earthquake occurrences are always linked to volcanic activity. Second, several students across the three grades could not differentiate between movements of the earth’s crust which result in earthquakes and the larger scale movements, i.e. the rotation and revolution of the earth. Third, generally students across the three grades appear to have scientifically correct ideas about the causes of earthquakes. Also, the majority of students attributed the causes of earthquakes to water, perhaps because the earthquake in their area was caused by impoundment of the dam. However, students seemed to be uninformed about the mechanisms or processes behind the occurrence of earthquakes. Finally, a few students across the grades used indigenous beliefs to explain earthquakes. With an awareness of the conceptual and cultural difficulties students in Lesotho are likely to encounter in the learning of earthquakes, teachers can prepare in advance to handle such issues, as they are critical in the understanding of the phenomenon of earthquakes.

Abstract The major purpose of this research is to understand the gender-equity awareness of high school students, by analyzing the variances of different variables of gender-equity awareness. The objective is to discuss how the different backgrounds, environments of full-time and part-time students will affect the intensities of gender-equity awareness of them. We adopt the questionnaire method on part-time and full-time students (N=1323) in National Miaoli Senior Commercial Vocational School under different factors of students including personal, educational, family, environmental factors. In the statistic analysis, we consider five aspects which include (1) Opportunity equity, (2) Family life equity, (3)Right and obligation equity, (4) Physiology equity, and (5) Mental equity. With respect to the results of the questionnaire, we use SPSS software in data analysis. The results of the research are listed below: 1. Different academic systems – Full-time students have higher awareness of gender equity than that of part-time students in general. 2. Different gender – Boys’ score in average is lower than that of girls’, which means female students have higher gender-equity awareness than that of male ones. 3. Willing to be educated – Students who will to take further education opportunity have higher score in average than those who don’t. The higher score he(she) gets, the higher awareness of gender equity he(she) has. 4. Age – In general, students under 16 (16 is included) get highest scores in average. Besides, during the high school period, the younger the students have higher gender awareness than the older students. 5. Place of growth – Students who live in big cities have higher awareness of gender equity than that of those students who live rural area. 6. Social experience – Students without working experiences get higher score in average than that those without working experiences. The higher score he(she) gets, the higher awareness of gender equity he(she) has. 7. Family background – Students who live with both parents have higher scores of the factor of family life than those who live with a single parent. The higher score he(she) gets, the higher awareness of gender equity he(she) has. 8. Parent education style –Students under democracy education style have the highest score on the opportunity and family life equity.

This study aimed to explore junior high school students’ L2 learning motivation in Taiwan and investigate whether motivational differences exist between male and female students in this milieu. The researcher then further confirmed the hypothesis that motivation orientations have a direct influence on English achievement. Participants in this study were 315 junior high school students, containing169 males and 146 females, in Miao-Li County. All the participants completed a motivation questionnaire developed by the researcher of the study. The items of the questionnaire came from the following three sources: 1) interviews with junior high school students, 2) the open-ended questions, and 3) a number of published questionnaires. The questionnaire contained two sections, namely Student Background Information and 2) the Motivation Orientations. The data were processed using the statistical package SPSS13.0 for Windows version. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to extract latent factors. Underlying the Motivational Orientations items and five factors were found and conceptualized as: 1) Intrinsic Motivation, 2) Integrative Motivation, 3) Expectancy & Satisfaction, 4) International Language, and 5) Utilitarian Purposes. T-test was employed in order to explore if there were gender differences of language learning motivation. It was found that female learners had higher scores. Female students had higher motivation in language learning. Finally, structure equation modeling with AMOS 6.0 is used to confirm the causal relationship between the extracted motivational factors and English achievement. The results of SEM suggested that the English grades were significantly influenced by motivation. Other major findings are as the followings: First, Integrative Motivation was related to a desire to interact with English-speaking groups and an interest in foreign culture, the language and the people. Second, the traditional concept of instrumental motivational orientation was included in a great range of pragmatic reasons: Expectancy & Satisfaction, Utilitarian Purpose and International Language. Third, Utilitarian Purpose had the highest mean among the five motivational orientations, while Intrinsic Motivation was the most important motivator.
