The first one in the instrument is “4b.” It is about “applying facts, theories, or methods to practical problems or new situations.” 77% of the respondent had the two choices of “very much” and “quite a bit.”
While the peer institutions indicate that 72% of their participating students of the first year. The next aspect is about “analyzing an idea, experience, or line of reasoning in depth by examining its parts” which is “4c” in the instrument. 74% of the respondent had the two choices of “very much” and “quite a bit” compared to 70% of students in peer institutions. The next one is “evaluating a point of view, decision, or information source.” For this aspect, also 74% of the respondent had the two choices of “very much” and “quite a bit,” but 69% of students in peer institutions had the same choices. The last aspect under this indicator is “Forming a new idea or understanding from various pieces of information” which is “4d” in the survey instrument. For this aspect is 71% of the respondent had the two choices of “very much” and “quite a bit” compared to 67% of students in peer institutions. Overall, it can be said that regarding the indicator of “Higher-Order Learning,” the VU is fairly better than the peer institutions.
The second indicator is “Reflective & Integrative Learning” which is helping students to make connections
For the purpose of this case I will only focus on the actions that took place at the football game. The remainder of the community was not impacted. Following an natural disaster incident, where an earthquake collapsed a set of bleachers killing and injury students in the area. The first thing I will do is gather the names and information about the student. Were they popular, did they make an impact in the community, were they new to the school, who were their close friends etc. This information is pertinent because the people closest to them should be among the first to experience assistance. Once I have gathered all of this information I will gather all support teachers and school staff and help educate them about the questions and emotions their students may be facing. During this time I will also have the opportunity to check in with the teachers. Ensure that they are coping with the events that have taken place. I will also be able to identify which teachers will be most effective when it comes to handling a crisis situation. Next I will identify students that are high risk. High risk students include close friends of the students affected, students that are injured, students closest in proximity to the collapse, and students with mental health and learning disabilities. Next I will have to establish intervention strategies to support student and staff. This support will include first a school wide assembly allowing all
From these examples, it is clear that everyone benefit. Engage in student government benefits students because it teaches them the importance of citizenship and the importance of the democratic process. In addition, it teaches students the necessary leadership skills. PBIS is beneficial to students, teachers, and parents because the program teaches students how to manage their behavior in a positive manner. Teachers benefit because they receive the additional support for maintaining a classroom environment that is conducive to learning and parents benefit because they know that the school has a vested interest in the success of their child. Another area that I would suggest as an area for improvement would be parental involvement. Although

Engaging students in the classroom can be a difficult task. Understanding the process of how students learn can help a teacher adapt the lesson to meet the needs of all students. I will encounter students that are not intrinsically motivated so I will need to find different ways to motivate each and every student. Understanding how my students learn can provide me with insights as to how to help each student learn which will minimize classroom management problems.
Indicator 1b: Teachers treat students equitably and with dignity. They recognize the individual differences, and they account for these differences in practice.
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.
Astonishing, stunning, remarkable, spectacular, phenomenal: All words to describe my experience attending agriculture and biology related activities on college campus this past month. When I was assigned this assignment, I thought there would only be a few events to choose from, but after looking at the potential activities I could attend, I was awestruck by how many events that were held on campus. Little did I know that there so many opportunities for me to get involved in college. This engagement assignment helped me become more comfortable on campus and more familiarized with what is happening on campus. Three events I would like to highlight in my experience are the Ag. and Bio Ice Cream Social, SDSU
Engaged Heritage High School students in the area of college access by facilitating workshops and large group presentations
The survey was administered on February 20, 2017. The survey was sent to 146 African American males who were graduates of Morehead State University. The emails and names of the participants were provided by Morehead State University’s Development Office. There were 10 questions that were asked of the participants and the survey was available for participants to complete over a three week period of time. Three of the questions were related to demographics such as if they were from Kentucky or outside of the state of Kentucky. The participants also provided their GPA when they graduated, and the length of time that it took them to complete their degrees. An email was sent to 146 participants stating the purpose of the survey. Students
The term “non-traditional” has been coined to describe and categorize students from non-traditional backgrounds. Non-traditional student diversity may include “age, color, ethnicity, gender, national origin, physical, mental and emotional ability, race, religion, language, sexual orientation and socio-economic status” (Taylor and House 46). From the age perspective, non-traditional students exceed the normal age range of college students. The normal age range for students attending higher education institutions is 18-24 years of age. “The rise of non-traditional-age students – that is, students who are either coming to college or retuning to it” has been increasing for the past several decades (Lang 188).
1. The researchers analyzed the data they collected as though it were at what level of measurement?
There were 427 participants for the study: 308 women and 115 men. All participants attended a large, urban, faith-based university. The participants were from many different ethnic backgrounds, however, the majority (75.3%) were Caucasian. A majority of the participants were either freshmen or sophomores. Also, a majority of the participants were involved in
With the trend of globalization, different people from different cultural background can interact with each other in one community. This can be reflected in UCSB. UCSB's students were known for their academic success as well as racial diversity. In 2014-2015 academic year, undergraduates racial distribution for "White is 39%; Asian/Pacific Islander Subtotal is 27%, and Black/ African American is 4%" (2014-2015 Campus Profile). Students with different cultural background came here to pursue educational success. While their races are different, most of them have one thing in common, they are here to study. We are interested to see the relation between race, gender, and study behavior. We developed our research question and tried to understand
Engagement, interaction, and communication are the things that connect people together in society. Also, it are ways that help children learn. In the U.S., schools are promoting engagement in teaching for helping students to improve. There are many methods that the teachers are using to create a strong engagement relationship between teachers and students.
