The Role Of Elearning In Middle School

Middle School can be described in many words and many people have different opinions about it. There are also many memorable experiences at the Middle School too. The most memorable experience I had at the middle school was When I was in 5th grade and everyone had to show the 4th graders what the Middle School was like. Even though I had many exciting, Fun, bad, or just hilarious experiences this one is the most memorable.

Throughout middle school, I've had many different experiences, talked to people and dealt with problems from students, to teachers, to the other staff members of our school. I couldn’t help but notice some things about these three years about grades, my learning styles, relationships, myself, different activities, and my hopes for the future.

Compare and contrast the following qualitative research methods: case study, phenomenological, and grounded theory. Synthesize the findings and determine which is best suited to a study on your potential dissertation topic. Analyze the issues associated with sample selection, validity, and bias in such a study.

Growing up in a city like Reading is not easy on any child, especially when you are the minority. This city is composed of 87,893 people, and of these people only twenty nine percent of them are Caucasian. Over half of the people living in our city are Hispanic, making up fifty nine percent of the population. Being part of the twenty nine percent can make a child feel different or left out while they are growing up. Children strive to make friends and to fit in with other kids their age. In my case it was not always the easiest because of a cultural barrier, or even a language barrier. Starting school is a scary for everyone, everyone fears the unknown. But when you enter school into a classroom full of people unlike yourself, is when the nerves really set in.

Throughout school, I was bullied and made fun of by mostly everyone. It was very hard for me growing up, because I was bigger than most. I was called mean and hateful names and I hated it. Through elementary school I didn’t let the words hurt me as much, but in middle school it got really bad really fast. During that time I was going through some struggles with my father, because he wasn’t there for me and when he was, he was mentally, physically, and verbally abusive. He made me feel worst then any bully could have ever made me feel because it was coming from someone who was supposed to love me. It was hard for me to listen to my father degrade me, call me names, and hit me for no reason. So, when I got to school, I was always in a

For most elementary students, the thought of moving onto middle school is very intimidating. Parents and teachers love tell the students that middle school will not be as easy as elementary school. The teachers at Sts. Peter and Paul told us that the kids from the public school were horrible people and we had to be careful around them. They also told the kids about the horrors of bullies, huge papers, and a new confusing building; however, I was still ready to leave elementary schools because I hated going to a private school. I saw middle school as an opportunity to meet new friends and experience a less restricted school day.

Interviews. Interviews will constitute a major part of the research design. I will conduct structured, face-to-face recorded interviews with approximately 5-7 principals and 8-10 teachers to promote the sharing of personal history, perspectives, supports and experiences in order to generate best practices for this and future studies relating to teacher attrition. As Patton explains:

This article says it all! yeah, the middle school gives you more responsibilities as to elementary not so much. You will really learn more about yourself in middle school with new friends and with different classes you have now than to the one class in elementary. However, there are a lot of issues that you will encounter in middle school, like what the author said on this article that there's a "great divide" happened. I remember when I was in

I really like 8th grade so far. I have most of my close friends in my class and I love all of my teachers. I also love the new grading scale. People seem to have grown up this year and become a lot more mature. Lunch is the same as last year the only difference is I don’t have Riley or Bailee but now I have Cera, Callie, and Jazmine. I like most of my classes, my top 3 classes are science, social studies, and language arts.

When conducting a qualitative research, it is important to ask yourself why you are doing this research and what message you want to get across, but do not predict any outcomes. Also discuss the method used to contact the research and what was used, what were some of the obstacles, how would the

In middle school, the relationship I had with my grandfather was one which was unbreakable. Even though he did not live in the same state, and I had both of my parents in the home he was always there for me. We place bets with each other over sporting events, like the World Series or the NBA Final, and the loser had to pay up whenever we were together again. Because I lived in North Carolina and he lived in upstate New York, we only saw each other once or twice a year, but he made we had together the most enjoyable. When my family would make the trip to New York I could not wait to see him because we talked about the various thing we were going to do when we were finally together, things like going to restaurants, going to amusment parks, and going to the mall. As a young child, these were all things you love to do, and he would make these events family outings, so all my cousins who were around the same age would come as well. This brought our family very close. While he was alive I was played every sport, and excelled in most of them. I enjoyed golf in particular because it was a sport my grandfather never really played, making him fascinated in every aspect of the sport. Although I was a superb athlete, I was good student as well. I made honor every year and that was what made him the proudest. Of all his grandchildren, there were only a few of us who excelled in school, and he incentivized us to keep up the good work by giving us money. Needless to say, there was not a

A climax of my life was moving from New Jersey to California over the summer between 6th and 7th grade. Luckily I had already made the transition from elementary to middle school, but I still had considerable adjustments to make. For instance, I came from a grade of 250 students to a section of just 80, and was introduced to the concept of honors classes. Nevertheless, I found that the academic adjustments were minor, and the bigger issue was cultural. My New Jersey hometown is tiny and has a library with limited resources. On the other hand, Beverly Hills’ beautiful library boasts a newly renovated children’s section. While many of my friends’ parents rode the train to commute to New York City, Beverly parents all seem to drive. My family

When conducting research in the field of elearning, there are three methods that are considered: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods. Within the research method, there are many research designs that may be used depending on the type of research being conducted. Case studies, interviews, focus groups, and the analyzation of documents are all common research designs to gather qualitative data. Quantitative data are collected using research designs such as questionnaires that yield numeric responses. A mixed-methods approach uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative designs (Yilmaz, 2013). Regardless of which method and design a scholar in the field of elearning selects, he or she must follow ethical guidelines and

By middle school students lives become busy and cluttered with what they feel is important like friends, sports, video games, computers, and television. These students feel like they don’t have time to do anything else, let alone notice their world and the natural beauty around them. Living in rural Iowa, students have many opportunities to see the beauty of nature, however because it is easy to access they spend very little to no time experiencing it. Gradle (2008) states, “The more a person stands still and looks, the more they will see… Much hinges on the quality of attention we bring to what we see” (p. 9-10). By embracing the idea that if students are given the chance to just look and experience without worrying about other issues they

The qualitative section will include, focus groups via the Delphi method and survey to teachers, administrators and students. Letters will be sent to each district included in the study explaining the purpose and how the study will be conducted in addition to consent forms for all participants and assuring that all information collected will be confidential and no names will be associated with information
