The Intersection between Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations ...Melanie Parlette-Stewart
This document summarizes a research project examining the disconnect between the academic skills professors expect students to have and the skills students believe they possess. Surveys of over 1900 students and faculty across disciplines found a 63% discrepancy. Students wanted most help with writing, learning, and research skills. Implications include making skill expectations explicit and collaborating across units to better support student skill development. Future research areas are also discussed.Discovering the Junction: Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations ...
Discovering the Junction: Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations ...Melanie Parlette-Stewart
This document summarizes a research study on the discrepancies between professor expectations of student academic skills and student interpretations of those expectations. The study collected data through surveys of students and faculty across multiple disciplines at a university. It found an overall discrepancy rate of 63% between professor and student understandings of the skills expected for courses. Common discrepancies occurred regarding research skills, writing skills, and where skills should be developed. The study aims to help reduce these gaps by informing curriculum design and academic support services.A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESILIENCY AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AMONG MULTIRAC...
The purpose of this study is to explore the six attributes of the Resiliency for Academic Success framework and the possible relationship to academic achievement among urban high school students with a focus on multiracial students. Trueba identified six resiliency traits for academic success in his framework: intelligent planning in the pursuit of major goals, delaying gratification for the sake of future rewards, willingness to learn a new language and culture, ability to appreciate and use family support during crises, ability to use multiple personal identities in the process of communicating with others, loyalty to school and family and the wisdom to pursue academic excellence with the love and support of teachers and parents, and spiritual strength based on religious, cultural, and linguistic values. Academic achievement was measured by reading and math scores, which are mandatory assessments required for graduation in the state of Illinois. The study used quantitative research analyses: descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA, and regression. The sample included 521 students from five diverse high schools, but only 377 students from the five high schools had PSAE reading and math scores to correspond with completed surveys. The findings demonstrated that the multiracial students were not significantly different than other
racial groups (Caucasian, African-Americans, Hispanics, and multiracial) in academic achievement. Multiracial students (N=85) in the study had similar levels with mean and standard deviation scores to Caucasian students (n=136). ANOVA demonstrated that differences existed between groups in PSAE reading, but no significant differences existed between racial groups in PSAE math. The regression analyses showed that all students (N=377) had the same three Resiliency for Academic Success factors (overall resiliency average, Spiritual strength, and Willingness to learn a new language and culture) that were predictive in reading and math PSAE. In addition, all students (N=377) showed that the Resiliency for Academic Success characteristic of Ability to use family support during crises was predictive of math PSAE scores.

Numerous studies exist on how and to what extent course instructors in higher education are embedding or directly teaching writing, learning and research skills in their courses (Cilliers, 2011; Crosthwaite et al., 2006; and Mager and Sproken-Smith, 2014). Yet, disparity within the literature demonstrates that there is no consistent approach to the scaffolded development of these necessary skills within courses, programs, disciplines, or across disciplines. Preliminary research has also revealed that professor communication of expected or required student skills is often limited or unclear (McGuinnes, 2006).
Through a collaborative research project at the University of Guelph, we employed a multidisciplinary and multi-skill approach to explore the intersection between professor articulation and student interpretation of academic skills. Through this research, we have identified that, in the teaching and learning in third year university courses, discrepancies exist
a. between the learning, writing and research skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course;
b. in professor articulation of skills they will teach in their course and which skills they expect students to develop outside of class time;
c. in the skills students seek to develop based on their interpretation of the course outline; and
d. in students’ ability to identify necessary skills before and after taking these courses.
Based on these findings, we recommend that a curriculum-based approach to understanding the skill development needs of students can assist in bridging the gap between professor expectations and student interpretations of skill requirements.
Throughout this research presentation, we will present an overview of our research project; present our key findings; offer initial interpretations on student understandings of course outlines; demonstrate the value of cross-unit and cross-departmental collaborations; and offer recommendations and potential areas for further research. After our presentation, we will welcome dialogue and questions. Poster Presentation Draft
Through interviews with underrepresented minority students enrolled in STEM courses, researchers identified three main factors that influence retention: cognitive factors like academic self-confidence; contextual factors like classroom climate; and cultural factors like ethnic pride. Universities have implemented initiatives to improve retention like mentoring programs, "paced" introductory courses, and research opportunities. Surveys of students and faculty involved in one mentoring program found it increased GPAs and confidence. A university that provided supplemental instruction and research experiences saw improved retention of underrepresented minority students in forensic science programs.

Rectoría, Universidad Magister. – 2014. Oral proposaldefense
The document summarizes a research proposal that aims to determine if increasing student motivation to read independently correlates with improved test scores. The study will use a quasi-experimental design comparing MAP test results of students who participate in a reading motivation program versus a control group. If a correlation is found, it could provide evidence that improving reading motivation strategies positively impacts student academic success and literacy.
Presentation of Sample Research Proposals
This document summarizes a presentation given by Reggie O. Cruz on preparing research proposals and final outputs. The presentation covered objectives of presenting proposals for approval and final research papers for oral presentation. Five completed research studies were summarized, covering topics in Filipino writing, career orientation, Kapampangan language enhancement, and developing an assessment computer program. The process for conducting research from creating proposals to disseminating results was outlined. The goal was to guide educators in Angeles City on conducting and presenting educational research.
Standardized Testing: Does It Contribute to the Academic Achievement Gap?
In the era of increased educational accountability, students are expected to demonstrate a level of proficiency on state administered, standardized tests. The purpose of this presentation is to address standardized testing issues surrounding the academic achievement gap among African American students. Research has demonstrated that placing students in certain academic tracks merely on their standardized test scores can have negative effects on students’ ability to excel in the classroom. The presenter will address other concerns, such as stereotype threat, that African American students face while taking high stakes test which can lead to poor performance.

Radcliff, S. & Wong, E. Evaluation of sources: a new sustainable approach using argument analysis and critical thinking. Presented at Library Instruction West 2014 conference.
An area of information literacy instruction that has increasingly gained attention is evaluation of sources. Moving away from the checklist approach (timeliness, relevancy, bias, credibility, authority), this session describes a new approach incorporating critical thinking questions and training for students on analyzing arguments using the Toulmin method, which students apply to evaluating articles and to detecting “myside” (confirmation) bias in their own writing.
This approach was used at two institutions, a 2-unit information literacy course at CSU East Bay and several sections of an English Composition course Saint Mary’s College and incorporated a “flipped classroom” design with much of the information being presented online to students prior to the in class session.
The presentation includes a literature review showing past uses of argument analysis and critical thinking in evaluation of sources, the instructional design from both institutions and results from a rubric–based evaluation of student work and student reflections.

This document discusses assessing language learning strategy use through self-report scales. It describes the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), the most widely used strategy scale. The SILL has high reliability across cultures and validity shown through links between higher scores and better language performance. Studies using the SILL in different cultures are discussed. Other strategy scales are also described, though many lacked reliability and validity data. In summary, the SILL is a reliable and valid tool for assessing language learning strategy use that has been widely applied in research worldwide.

Reference as teaching: Breaking barriers for international students
This document discusses barriers international students face when using library reference services and proposes teaching strategies to overcome these barriers. It finds international students have difficulties with communication, library skills, and knowledge. Their communication is affected by language issues, cultural differences, and negative views of librarians. Their library skills and knowledge are limited by unfamiliar systems and lack of experience. The document suggests learner-centered teaching strategies like empathy, practice, and clear explanations to address these challenges.

NASP HBCU Poster Final Version
This study examined the lack of school psychology programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and department chairs' knowledge and perceptions of the field. The researchers surveyed department chairs at HBCUs with graduate programs. Their findings showed that only 18% of chairs were extremely knowledgeable about school psychology. Additionally, 91% recognized the lack of diversity in the field but only 1% of HBCUs had school psychology programs. Most chairs believed developing such a program at an HBCU could increase diversity. However, many cited lack of faculty availability, administrative approval, financial resources and geographic location as barriers.
Dissertation defense power point
This document describes a study that evaluated the impact of a system-wide communication plan and professional development training for school administrators. The study aimed to determine the effect of the training on administrators' knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to communicating with external stakeholders and the media.
Significant findings from pre- and post-testing indicated that the training positively impacted administrators' knowledge and application of communication skills, as well as their attitudes toward school public relations initiatives. Previous college instruction on communicating with the media was also found to influence administrators' pre-training attitudes. Critical incidents with the media, whether positive or negative, affected attitudes as well. The findings support the value of training and experience in building administrators' competencies in external communication.
Proposal
The document summarizes a study on the effect of ability-grouping for English instruction at a university in Taichung City. The study examined 2,330 students who took English proficiency pre- and post-tests and questionnaires on the psychological impacts. The methodology involved analyzing test score data using t-tests and ANOVA and surveying randomly selected students in ability-grouped classes in May to understand their opinions on tracking. Previous literature found that ability grouping has small positive effects on achievement when instruction is appropriately differentiated for different groups.
Collaborative planning, orchestration toward professional development
This document discusses collaborative planning and orchestration toward professional development. It defines collaborative planning as educators voluntarily working together to ensure student needs are met. It also describes the collaborative planning process and presents an activity for educators to identify a learning gap, form a team, and create a matrix of activities to address the gap. The document then discusses orchestration as an approach to technology-enhanced learning that emphasizes classroom challenges. It provides an example orchestration process and activity to create a lesson plan using orchestration. Finally, it concludes that integration and emerging strategies are ongoing, exploring possibilities leads to development, and to collaborate and strategize on proper technology use through orchestration.

After research I have been found the causes of absenteeism and I have given suggestions for decrease it.
The causes of absenteeism are:-
1) Students don’t like timing of the class.
2) Students not interested in particular subject.
3) They don’t like instructor.
The entire study is based on primary data which have collected by filling questioner by all three study centers Students of B.com I Agra.
Background example
This document provides background information on a study about vocabulary learning strategies. It discusses how vocabulary is essential for language acquisition and the problems students may face with low vocabulary. It also reviews literature identifying several vocabulary learning strategies, particularly the use of flashcards and pictures. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of these two strategies on students' vocabulary mastery based on their learning style (extrovert vs introvert). It indicates flashcards are expected to be more beneficial than pictures based on their ease of use and portability. The document lays out the rationale for investigating the impact of flashcards versus pictures on vocabulary development for different types of students.

This document is a master's thesis exploring perspectives on undergraduate support programs for African American and Chicano transfer students pursuing STEM degrees at the University of California, Berkeley. It begins with an introduction outlining the underrepresentation of these groups in STEM fields and degrees. The theoretical framework discusses two perspectives on differences - deficit and opportunity - and two approaches to student support - individual/student-centered and structural/institution-centered. The study aims to investigate the perspectives underlying existing support programs at UC Berkeley through interviews with program staff and analysis of program descriptions. It seeks to better understand the programs and offer suggestions to improve practice and inform future research.

This document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of three different approaches to tagging online resources: freestyle tagging, dictionary-based tagging, and a combined freestyle and dictionary approach. 78 undergraduate students tagged resources using Diigo over five weeks under one of the three conditions. The findings showed that dictionary-only tagging reduced redundancy and synonyms the most, while freestyle tagging resulted in the most single-use and irrelevant tags. The combined approach was most effective by allowing students to both use predefined tags and add their own. The implications are that students need guidance to learn effective tagging and that dictionaries can help structure the activity while allowing flexibility.

It begins with an introduction outlining the underrepresentation of these groups in STEM fields and degrees. The theoretical framework discusses two perspectives on differences - deficit and opportunity - and two approaches to student support - individual/student-centered and structural/institution-centered. The study aims to investigate the perspectives underlying existing support programs at UC Berkeley through interviews with program staff and analysis of program descriptions. It seeks to better understand the programs and offer suggestions to improve practice and inform future research.
Effective Tagging Practices for Online Learning Environments: Dictionary or F...
This document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of three different approaches to tagging online resources: freestyle tagging, dictionary-based tagging, and a combined freestyle and dictionary approach. 78 undergraduate students tagged resources using Diigo over five weeks under one of the three conditions. The findings showed that dictionary-only tagging reduced redundancy and synonyms the most, while freestyle tagging resulted in the most single-use and irrelevant tags. The combined approach was most effective by allowing students to both use predefined tags and add their own. The implications are that students need guidance to learn effective tagging and that dictionaries can help structure the activity while allowing flexibility.

The document discusses the history and legal framework of student drug testing in US public schools. It notes that the Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that drug testing student athletes is constitutional and that the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 allowed federal funding for random student drug testing. However, the document also clarifies that state laws vary and may provide greater student privacy protections than federal law. It advises that while the Supreme Court has permitted drug testing of students in extracurricular activities, schools are not required to implement such testing and it did not rule on testing other groups of students or those in elementary schools.
Search & Seizure
This document discusses guidelines for conducting searches of students by school administrators. It covers personal searches, locker searches, automobile searches, and interacting with law enforcement. Key points include having a witness present during searches, following proper procedures to maintain chain of custody of any evidence, and developing protocols with local law enforcement regarding questioning students and responding to various criminal incidents on campus.

This article discusses an assignment given to pre-service teachers to increase their self-awareness of unconscious biases and prejudices. The assignment asks students to reflect on their "subjectivities" - how their personal experiences and backgrounds shape their perceptions - and how this could impact their future classrooms. Common themes that emerged included influences from family on views of race and stereotypes. The assignment is intended to help future teachers recognize biases so they can avoid letting them negatively influence students. It provides a safe space for crucial self-reflection to develop cultural competence.

This document discusses the role of change agents in organizational change. It defines a change agent as someone who initiates and manages change within an organization, whether internal like a manager, or external like a consultant. It identifies different types of change agents and the roles they play, such as consulting, training, and research. Finally, it outlines 10 characteristics of successful change agentry, including empathy, linkage between the change agent and organization members, and openness.
Copy of innovations in education
The document discusses the process of implementing innovations in education. It describes three broad phases: initiation, implementation, and continuation. The initiation phase involves deciding to adopt a change. Implementation involves putting the change into practice. Continuation refers to whether the change becomes embedded long-term. Key factors that influence implementation are the characteristics of the change (need, clarity, complexity), local factors (district, community, principal, teachers), and external factors (state, federal agencies). Successful implementation depends on relevance, readiness, and resources at the local level.
Philosophy
This document provides an overview of different philosophical perspectives in education, including Idealism, Realism, Naturalism, Pragmatism, and others. It discusses the key aspects of each perspective such as their view of reality, how we know things, and implications for education. The purpose is to help readers classify, analyze, and better understand these perspectives in order to reflect on their own philosophies and make more deliberate decisions as educators.
Franz & kritsonis new
This document discusses the use of problem-based learning in teacher education programs. It notes that teacher education programs face many challenges in preparing teachers, such as high-stakes testing, classroom diversity, and scrutiny over teacher quality. Problem-based learning is presented as a way to better equip teacher candidates by having them solve real-world educational problems rather than just memorizing standards and strategies. Two models of instruction are compared, with problem-based learning argued to be more effective because it immerses students in research and helps them develop into teacher leaders better prepared to meet today's educational challenges.

This article discusses the role of parental involvement in closing the academic achievement gap between minority and disadvantaged students and their white and Asian counterparts. It argues that improving school quality alone through legislation like No Child Left Behind is not sufficient, and that parental accountability is missing from such efforts. The article highlights research showing parental involvement is highly predictive of student success. It recommends expanding NCLB to include mechanisms for holding parents accountable and engaging them in their children's education.

This document outlines a dissertation study that aims to identify factors that contribute to or hinder the academic achievement of minority students, specifically Asian American, African American, and Hispanic students. The study will examine how parental involvement, frequency of individual and group study modes, and time spent on homework relate to student achievement. Surveys will be administered to students in urban high schools to gather data on these variables, which will then be analyzed to determine their relationships and influence on academic performance between the three minority groups. The goal is to discover ways to improve outcomes for low-performing students and help bridge the achievement gap.
I021201065070
This study used latent class analysis to examine survey responses from a nationally representative sample of 7th graders in the US about their science attitudes, perceptions of teacher support, and later STEM career attainment. The analysis identified four latent classes: 1) students who found science useful and felt teacher encouragement, 2) students who found science useful but did not feel teacher encouragement, 3) students who did not find science useful but felt some teacher encouragement, and 4) students who did not find science useful and did not feel teacher encouragement. Students in the first two classes were twice as likely to enter STEM careers compared to the last two classes, indicating the importance of both positive science attitudes and perceived teacher support.
Preparation for Standardized Testing and Inquiry
1. The document discusses the benefits of inquiry-based science instruction over traditional instruction methods. Inquiry-based learning engages students actively and models the scientific process.
2. However, many schools have shifted away from inquiry due to pressures of standardized testing from NCLB. Research shows this diminishes meaningful learning and impacts underrepresented student groups.
3. The document argues for bringing more inquiry into classrooms to better prepare students for standardized tests and science, while promoting equity in science education.

This study examined the motivation of 145 learners of Chinese using self-determination theory. Students were divided into 3 groups: Chinese-Chinese, English-Chinese, and Non-Chinese. Questionnaires assessed motivational orientations, psychological needs, engagement in learning, and community engagement. Results showed the Chinese groups felt higher relatedness and language use than the Non-Chinese group. Self-determined orientations did not consistently predict language use. The study provides implications for supporting intrinsic motivation in pedagogy and directions for future research exploring heritage language learners in more depth.
Proposal Defense Power Point
This document outlines the agenda and background for a proposal defense on examining the correlations between African American students' beliefs and academic outcomes. The study aims to explore how teachers' beliefs and school cultures affect African American students' attitudes, achievement, discipline referrals, and special education services. It will use a quantitative research design and collect data on students' and teachers' beliefs using instruments measuring stereotype threats, classroom environment, and discipline behaviors.
A ReView And Anaysis Of The Research On Native Aerican Students
This document summarizes research on Native American students' achievement. It finds that research in this area has been limited due to small sample sizes of Native American students in national datasets. Additionally, issues like misunderstanding of Native American identity, high rates of mixed-race backgrounds, and geographic clustering have limited the validity of existing research. Most studies on Native American achievement are small-scale, non-experimental, and methodologically problematic. There is a need for more high-quality, large-scale research to improve understanding of factors influencing Native American students' educational outcomes.
IERC Presentation October 2014
The document discusses a quantitative analysis of resiliency and academic achievement among multiracial students in urban high schools. It examines the relationship between six factors of resiliency for academic success and standardized test scores in reading and math for Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. The study found that multiracial students displayed resiliency levels and academic achievement most similar to Caucasian students, and certain resiliency factors such as family support and loyalty to school predicted higher test scores for multiracial students.
Copy of johnson, clarence the national dilemma of african american students
This article discusses disparities in mathematics achievement and instruction for African American students. It finds that African American students often receive lower quality mathematics instruction that is less aligned with recommendations from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics compared to white students. Some key disparities highlighted include African American students being less likely to experience instruction focused on reasoning and non-routine problem solving, more likely to use computers for drill/practice rather than simulations/applications, and more likely to have teachers who do not allow calculator use. The article concludes that addressing these inequities in instruction is necessary to improve mathematics achievement for African American students.
Johnson, clarence the national dilemma of african american students
This article discusses disparities in mathematics achievement and instruction for African American students. It finds that African American students often receive lower quality mathematics instruction that is less aligned with reform recommendations than white students. This includes less emphasis on reasoning and problem-solving, more use of worksheets, and less access to technology for simulations or applications. The article also finds that African American students lack access to qualified teachers and resources at the same rates as white students. These disparities persist despite efforts at desegregation and reform and contribute to ongoing gaps in mathematics achievement between African American and white students.

Survey research
The document discusses survey research methods. It defines surveys as a method used to collect data from a sample of individuals through questionnaires or interviews to make inferences about a population. The key steps of survey design are outlined, including developing hypotheses, writing questions, sampling, data collection, analysis, and reporting findings. Advantages of surveys include wide scope and low cost, while limitations include superficiality and response biases. Surveys are useful for exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research.
Poster
This study explored differences in coping styles and perceived independence between students who studied abroad versus those who took summer classes. Participants completed questionnaires measuring personality, coping, affect, mood awareness, and emotional intelligence before and after their programs. Results showed that study abroad students more frequently used positive coping strategies like reframing situations, while summer class students more often used substances to cope. Study abroad students also engaged in more religious coping. Summer class students scored higher on mood repair. The findings suggest students choose programs matching their preferred coping styles.
Qualitative and Descriptive Research analysis
This study examined the relationship between affective factors (motivation, anxiety, extraversion) and oral proficiency/academic achievement in EFL students. It used a quantitative, correlational design with surveys to measure the affective factors and background questionnaires. 243 students participated. Results found motivation positively correlated with oral proficiency and academic achievement, while anxiety negatively correlated with oral proficiency. No relationship was found between extraversion and the outcomes. The researcher chose this design to test hypotheses about relationships between variables.
