Factors That Affect Student Achievement

It is common to think that school success is only related to IQ, however, that is not totally true because there are other factors that strongly related to students’ academic performance. According to a study published in 2011 by “The journal of school health” students who had a balance and nutritious diet regularly, scored higher on tests. In addition, an improvement of 6.8% in academic performance was observed (qtd in “Healthy vs unhealthy food”). Furthermore, Dr. Philip Alapat, medical director, states that “any prolonged sleep deprivation will affect, your mood, energy level, and ability to concentrate, focus and learn, which directly affects your academic performance.” (qtd in “Sleep deprivation”)

Each student is similar to a fingerprint, unique in shape, size, and makeup. Various external factors affect the student achievement in an educational setting like race, gender and poverty. When a student enters a school system, the school cannot control external factors that contributed to the development of that child. However, the school can develop ways to close the achievement gap of students faced with external hurdles within their district. This paper examines two rural districts and the effectiveness of interventions initiated in each district to support Free and Reduced Lunch learners in mathematics and English language arts interventions.

Internal validity of this study included data collection process and student personal interest in education. For example, students may have scored in exam because they concern about their own education. Reliability of this study instrument has not been tested. This is the first time this group will have this survey. There is no former survey to use as a standard to see if there are many changes.

Discussion of One Question: How does the student’s exceptionality affect his or her learning and/or behavior? Include descriptions of strengths, interests, and talents as well as those areas that pose a challenge to the student. (K ’s) exceptionality hasn’t change, who, he is as a student or individual. He 's just like most of our student’s who is struggling to learn grade level material and being a ESL (English Second Language) student has challenged his ability to translate comprehension between the two languages. As I stated before (K) has an (IEP) to help give him strategies to comprehend core academics. (K) express confusion and he doesn’t understand why some subjects are easy for him and others are more difficult. He is a great reader and (K) can answer most single direction question about a math problem; however, if the problem is asking him to set- up a multi-digit mathematical problem. He tends to have a more difficult time setting up mathematical problem with the correct math operation.One of (K) many strengths is his ability to read with fluency. He always will to help his fellow classmates on math problems that are easy for him to solve. His academic strength lies in math, even though, he struggles with higher math functions/problems. (K) has been place in advance band by his band director, due to his dedication in playing different instruments. (K) is also an extra helper for the band teacher due to his dedication to music. He loves to play soccer, basketball,

The method of inquiry that I have taken for this assignment is both primary and secondary research. I conducted a survey that I distributed among some of the school population on survey

This survey will be attached to the student email using a link to the online survey engine SurveyMonkey. After clicking on the link, the consent for participating in the survey will be shown. Once the survey is accepted, the participant will give full access to the results anonymously through SurveyMonkey. The survey will be set up so that the participant can only take the survey one time. The survey will be available online for two weeks. The survey consists of 26 questions and will take between five to ten minutes to

I made surveys to the students in fifth and sixth of Pau Casal’s primary school and at teenagers at first, second and third of Ins Vacarisses high-school.

Prompt 5: Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most significant contributing factors that inspires students to complete high school is personal goals such as college preparation, career aspirations, future earnings and family expectations. Students want to complete high school based on their personal goals because they know that completing high school is required to attend to college which prepares you for becoming an educated and responsible adult that can provide for themselves. Graduating from high school will boost your self-esteem and provide a sense of accomplishment. In order to apply for college and continue with education you must have a high school diploma.

Participants: A total of 168 students participated in the survey. The distribution of gender among the Participants were 62.5 %(105) = Female, 36.9% (62) = Male, and .6% (1) = Other. The distribution of year in school was 2.4% (4) = Freshmen, 17.9% (30) = Sophomore, Junior = 50.6% (85) = Junior, and 26.2% (44) = Senior. Convenient sampling was used in this survey as it was easier to get participants based off attending the same university. The survey was administered online, by sending a link to take the survey to the participants. Each student within the class was in charge of getting between 7-10 participants for the survey.

The method by which data was collected in this study was through a survey. Twelve schools

The next thing they covered was the school climate. It explained how that there are some school climates that are better than the other and that makes a difference especially when they tie in the type of family structure the student came from. The purpose of this study was to measure the outcomes of the different structures and the outcomes that they equaled to. Of course it was proven that coming from a positive family structure and attending a great school climate equaled to an increase in academic

Improving student achievement across the board for all students who are able to take part in reduced-size classes is quite the achievement, however, the rewards do not end there. One of the most prevalent and timeworn injustices of our nation is the achievement gap between low-income minority students and their higher-income white peers. Even at its inception, inequality has been woven into the fabric that makes up the education system. There is a long standing history that proves minorities and those from low-income areas have always been at a disadvantage and routinely perform well below their peers on standardized tests. For minorities and individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds this achievement gap perpetuates a dangerous cycle. This disparity bleeds into every part of society from the lack of higher education to the incarceration rate. In every single research study that was reviewed it was clear that smaller class-size benefited minority students, children who are eligible for free or reduced lunch

What do think when you hear student success? Many people think different things. For example, student success could be a student having a good job in something they specialized on, and are living on their own without anybody's help. There are several different ways student succeed and ways to change schools in order for their students to succeed as well in this article. For instance, Anaheim High Schools can improve student success if we have longer school days, make the student be interested in school and on what they are learning, and having more after school programs that interest kids and will keep their minds off of bad things.
