The Effects Of Public Education On At-Risk Students

Educating, empowering, and engaging students to be successful in a global, dynamic world is an overarching theme in the 21st century. However, our curricular standards are not keeping pace with the expansion of technology. School improvement is a topic of collegial conversations across the board and yet

This article is well written with good general flow of thought and easy for the reader to follow. Survey methodology is employed to capture data for quantitative analysis.1

The American College Testing (ACT), 2010 concluded that a large number of high school students and high school graduates do not possess the knowledge and skills for college level work or career training. With the creation and implementation of common core standards, states and school districts have a clear set of student expectations to target

Statistical Techniques. All forms of data collection used in this study were given as self-reported questionnaires (excluding the physical distancing test) then later measured using various statistical techniques. Some of the surveys given were compared to previous statistical research data that served as a comparison of average survey scores. Specifically, in this study,

The purpose of this paper is to critique a quantitative study and to present a critical analysis on its research findings. The paper will discuss the elements influencing believability and robustness of research, including writing style, research problem, literature review, conceptual framework, research question, hypothesis, study sample, methods, data analysis and results, and discussion of the relevance and future directions.

There are several scholars in various institutions who are deeply concerned with how education is being delivered in American institutions. As a matter of fact, they consider that the American system of education is broken -even dead. In particular, Tony Wagner last January 2015 released a documentary titled Most Likely to Succeed, in which he explores the question how to better prepare students for the 21 century. He radically asserts that the school’s role of transmitting academic knowledge is obsolete and that in today’s world skills, disposition and motivation matters more than knowledge (Wagner, 2015). Although this might be true, knowledge, skills, and embodied learning experience are not mutually exclusive. Furthermore, when knowledge is combined with a learning experience that is fully integrated, its power is profoundly transformative. On the other hand, Sir Ken Robinson in his speech at The RSA in How to Change Education describes the relevance of changing education from the ground up. He proposes going back to basics, not on the matter of subjects, but to redefining its purpose and revitalizing the connection between educators and students. I believe students are demanding a different approach to education, they feel something is missing and, alas, they are looking for it outside College’s campuses. Pew’s statistics state that students when asked to how do they prepare themselves for the labor force, half of all college graduates say gaining more

Data used in this study is from a previously prepared collection for a different study and hence does not require any instruments. Use of Microsoft Excel and graphpad, an online software, helped in calculating the results and analyzing the data.

Paper 1: - An abstract of paper 1 gives overall view of the study, method of study conducted, selected participants and their numbers. It also provides the evidence that how the data and results were collected. The abstract is showing the objectives and have

2. Results Analysis: contains a summary and statistical analysis of the results to each question in the survey.

Discuss the overall method (RCT) used for this quantitative research (in terms of how such a study should be conducted and what was and was not done).

The definition of blended learning has often been debated. A mixture of face to face teacher led instruction and self-paced online instruction defines blended learning. This fairly new instructional method takes place, in part, in a brick and mortar setting (Graham, 2005). Overall there are six blended learning models that may vary depending on a variety of factors. Each models implementation may look different based on an organization’s physical space, staffing model, delivery methods and scheduling (Graham, 2005). Many districts and school leaders are of the same belief as Arne Duncan

Abstract. The abstract well represents the article by first giving a brief and clear background of the research problem where it also includes the population. It then continues to provide a precise overview of the study by summarizing the main features such as the objectives, design, setting, measurements used, results, and the conclusion. In addition, other aspects such as limitations to the research and primary funding sources are cited.

The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.

This chapter explains the methodology that was employed to answer research questions discussed in Chapter 2. It includes a description of research design, how the instrument was developed, how the subjects were selected, and how the data were collect analyzed.

In this chapter, the background, problem statement, objectives and justification of the study are discussed. The general and specific objectives are listed and the scopes of the study are described.
