Thesis Sample Survey Questionnaire

The leveling system is used to determine the reading levels of the students, as measured by scale of Fountas and Pinnel Guided Reading on A through Z, proficiency reading scores F-Far Below Proficient, BP- Below P-Proficient, and AP-Above Proficient. The researcher only measured levels B through V for second and third grade student in this study. In addition the researcher also analyzed advanced degree level teachers. The teachers in the study took the added steps to add valued contributions to reading instruction and assessment. The researcher also, looked at varying years of experience of national board certified teachers, advanced degree teachers with school as the random effect. There were several schools who participated in the study. The study provided valuable data of national board certified teachers that may prove to be useful to implement more rigorous programs to recognize effective reading

Starting from the parents, the child must inherit the instinct of wanting to learn to read, developing the curiosity that comes with the increase of knowledge, interaction with others and building positive memories, that motivate the child’s learning to read. An approach that Vygotsky supported promoting scaffolding, a guided process that adults use to teach students how to master a skill, in this case a reading and writing skills. Children begin from the womb recognizing parent’s voices, singing tone for then building connections through prints and letter sounds in an environment that promotes literacy with stories, songs, games, group activities with families, “All about me” share, and “Show and tell”, to display and build a sense of belonging in the class. Nevertheless, incorporating strategies or methods that facilitate learning to read stimulated by own personal learning style. Most young children learn kinesthetically and are visually-sensory prompted to hands on experiences, using appropriate materials in a different setting. Foremost, with an ongoing informal and formal assessment to evaluate students’ pre-knowledge at the beginning of the scholastic year, students’ way of learning, feelings, and connections through the year, and at every lesson, check for understanding, and ways to improve the next step. Ongoing assessment is part of the whole learning process, it will tell you how the students learn, and achieve appropriate reading and writing goals. A good reader promotes a good writer and vice versa, but a firm stepping stone during the developmental stages, in rich literacy environments, attempting to positive interactive experiences, and always monitored, influences the chances of the child sense of wanting to learn to

In order to narrow the achievement gap there is a big focus of phonics knowledge and learning that reading should be a pleasurable thing to do and not a punishment. Too many pupils

Starting with the introduction of the survey they seemed to be too specific in their intro of what was going to be in the survey by describing each type of question that would be presented throughout the survey. I feel like this information isn’t necessary and over excessive in an introduction. That part of the introduction should be taken out and instead maybe include something along the lines of “Please read every question carefully and thank you for participating” or something along those lines.

Reading is a means of language acquisition, of communication, and of sharing information which is essential in being a productive member of society. If and when a student missed an opportunity to learn the skills necessary for reading, it’s has a profound impact on their lives. As educators we realize that teaching all children to read requires that every child receive excellent reading instruction. We are also aware that children, who are struggling with reading must receive

The findings of the survey responses can relate back to the literature review on how my data has shown that male drivers tend to get stopped more frequently that female drivers, just like other research that has been done. Police just consider males to be more suspicious than females from what many studies have shown. As well has non-whites and younger drivers are more likely to be stopped by police. Back to literature reviewed, many research that has been done have shown Blacks or any other non-white race would most likely be targeted by police. With age, police officers tend to suspect young drivers of crimes such as underage drinking, or drug related crimes. With the data collected of such a small, yet decent amount of respondents, sample has shown what much other research has shown about the relationship between gender, age, and race that do play a significant role in who the police decide to stop.

I decided to survey Alanna J, for my informal literacy survey/interview. Alanna is a 7-year-old girl in the second grade. I meet Alanna and her wonderful mother at sneak a peek night. Alanna was very excited to see her new classroom and to meet her teacher. When Mrs. Chaney introduced me, Alanna gave me a big hug. I felt very welcomed and special. On the first day of school, she told me she loved to read. Mrs. Chaney asked her students, “Who wants to be my objective reader?” Alana was the first student to raise her hand to read. She is in the accelerated reading group and does not have an Individual Education Plan. I selected Alanna because she made me feel appreciated and is eager to learn. She has great attendance and I believe she will benefit from extra support.

I though you made some great points in this week’s discussion post. I definitely agree with you that the CWEQ II survey we completed last week was more about empowerment within the workplace than this week’s survey. Personally, I believe feeling confident within your place of work is a big deal. For employees to feel this way it not only involves a healthy work environment, but so much more. “Improvements in nurses’ practice environments are essential to retain nurses and keep patients safe” (Lake, 2007, p. 104S). As discussed in last weeks required reading article if nurses are given the correct tools they are not only empowered themselves they can also empower their patients. This is huge in the health care field and industry. If nurses are

More specifically, the data collected from student work and teacher/student surveys portrays a clearer picture as to necessary interventions and modifications that are needed for our learners. All teachers indicated in their survey responses that they are reading on a daily basis in class. Also, teachers expressed that most of their students do not possess the necessary grade level literacy skills needed to read high school level English and social studies text.

This paper seeks to compare my personal view about research reading to the views expressed by Shanahan; Sadoski in their writing. In my view, I strongly agree with the need of reading research as they aid to eradicate reading failures as educators get to know and act based on scientific evidence. It is true that students who have difficulties in reading have challenges in mastering the academic content and thereby most of them fail to succeed in academics and also fail to achieve their life potential. Partially, the blame goes to a system as the system has not stressed on the need for reading research in most of its units. It is sad to note that this was happening and worse still is that most of the teachers do not have the background or that

Research was conducted in a third grade general education classroom. The entire class participated in the method of research, but only a select group of students were assessed for the purposes of this research. Students were selected for assessment based on their performance on the Basic Reading Inventory (BRI), given in the fall. Eleven students were rated as Needs

A sample size of 375 students were used for the study based on the accessible population as described by Krejcie and Morgan (1970). This method of determining the sample size is

A survey questionnaire was developed to gather data to try to find an answer to the above

Imagine that there is a mutation in the cyclin gene such that its gene product is nonfunctional. What kind of effect would this mutation have on a skin cell in the area of a cut?

Questionnaires are vital tools that are used in research to collect information about a given topic in a systematic way. Based on the type of questionnaire a researcher adopts, the data collected can then be analyzed qualitatively or quantitatively to derive a vital conclusion. Therefore, to obtain relevant information, a researcher must build a suitable questionnaire by following proper steps and taking into consideration several factors. This paper will address the necessary steps to follow and the factors that must be considered.
