Yet, novice teachers continue to enter schools with at-risk, gang-involved student populations without adequate preparation, and to date, research has neglected to examine these teachers’ extent of preparation or their perceptions of gang-involved students. This study examines how prepared teachers felt to address the needs of their gang-involved students, teachers’ perceptions of gang-involved students, as well as teachers’ suggestions for moving forward in this work. Findings indicate that the sample of teachers felt significantly less influential, confident, and obligated when teaching their gang-involved students as opposed to their non-gang-involved students. These data also indicate that participants felt significantly less prepared by their preservice education to address the needs of their gang-involved students. Moving forward, teachers expressed a strong desire for more information and strategies on teaching, supporting, and disciplining gang-involved students. Hopefully, this study acts as an impetus for change to improve the existing and inadequate curricula of preservice teacher education programs. The burdens that teachers experience within the classroom commonly cause individuals to burn out and leave the field of education. Across the board, teachers reported to value their ability to make a difference in the lives of their students. Teachers also revealed that personal relationships with their family, friends, students, and fellow colleagues have been the greatest source of support for them during difficult teaching periods. Back to crawford: teaching english in a multilingual classroom: challenges and of the research and resources related to english as a new language (enl) instruction apply only to bilingual, spanish-english classrooms, but there are many classrooms full of students who come from different linguistic backgrounds and also demonstrate the need to learn english. Specifically, this study examines verbal and non-verbal interactions in the classroom and the extent to which home language and culture are incorporated in the students’ learning experience. The findings indicate that there are many ways in which teachers can overcome the multiple-language barrier and help all of their students to improve their english, including creating a low-anxiety environment and encouraging parental participation in the learning experience. This study aimed to fill a gap in the research regarding gender stereotypes among a group of peers by first examining the extent to which elementary, middle, and high school students make assumptions about peers’ intelligence in science classes based on the gender of their peers and second by examining the extent to which elementary, middle, and high school students internalize gender stereotypes about intelligence in science. Using a q-sort method, this study determined whether elementary, middle, or high school students had a preference about working with a male or female partner on a science project. This study also used the q-sort method to examine if participants were more likely to rank male or female students higher on a science test. The results of this study found that high school students were significantly more likely to select a male partner for a science project rather than a female partner, but elementary and middle school students were not. Future research should examine the effectiveness of measures to counter the emergence of gender stereotypes and should study more thoroughly when and why students begin to exhibit gender bias. Can we somehow influence young students in america to view a career in business and/or social entrepreneurship as a more desirable goal?

This study aims to evaluate if, and if so to what extent, we can instill interest in business and/or social entrepreneurship in elementary school students. To answer my questions, i led five afterschool sessions in which two groups of four elementary school students each competed to create hypothetical businesses that made and sold friendship bracelets. Students were told that the friendship bracelets that they created and sold to other students represented a pact to not bully when worn. Further, by wearing the bracelet, he/she vowed to be a “bucket filler”, a term used by this group of elementary school students to describe someone who both avoided bullying and actively tried to make the world a better place for those around them. In other words, there was a correlation between students’ perceived ability to affect change and their tendency to stand up against bullying. Implications of my study include that, after just five afterschool sessions, students can experience an increased perceived ability to make changes in the world and/or their community. From my statistical analysis and my own observation, i have concluded that elementary school students are too sensitive for competition’s potentially beneficial effects to be realized in the aggregate. To begin answering these questions, observations were taken during three class periods of one teacher and kindergarten students. Students’ engagement was affected by the amount of movement of a given task, whether the teacher modeled a task for instructional purposes, and the overall enjoyment of a task. Back to gibbons: academic tracking's influence on students effort, motivation, and ct this study assessed how tracking within schools can influence a student’s academic perceptions. To explore these questions, students amongst different academic tracks at a midwestern public high school were observed in their english courses and administered a survey measuring four variables. The classroom environments between students of the same grade but different tracks demonstrated variances in difficulty of the material, instructor autonomy, and student effort. The oldest and most advanced students exhibited capacity to participate and perform at a high competence amid demanding coursework and discussion. While the lowest track student perceived themselves the most intrinsically motivation, those in the highest track were confident of their achievements in high school and future educational aspirations. This study may serve as a model to and influence longitudinal studies that examine whether academic tracking shapes academic perceptions of students in low and high tracks both positively or negatively. They were willing to resort to creative methods to fund programs throughout their schools, were actively involved in the lives of their students as well as on good terms with their support staff, and did not show signs of major morale loss from the stress of their jobs. My findings conclude that the role of a principal, while typically overlooked in the grand scheme of public education, is extremely important in 21st century public education and requires highly capable individuals in order to succeed. Back to l huggins: graduate students, underrerpresented minorities, and interpersonal paper investigates the extent to which interpersonal relationships of under-represented minority students (urms) graduate students differ from those of non-urm students and whether these relationships and experiences differ by program. Academic approaches to the problem of increasing diversity in graduate education has largely been focused on simply increasing the number of urm students. However, these students often suffer once they are in graduate school, completing their programs at lower rates than non-urm students. Some research has pointed to a lack of financial support as well as deficiencies in urm students' relationships with faculty advisors, mentors, and peers. By examining the deficiencies of interpersonal relationships, this research contributes to helping improve graduate school experiences for urm students.

To investigate the problem, a survey was distributed through a snowball sampling to urm students at an elite midwest research institution. The survey measured perceptions of the quality of the school community, the support of other students their departmental program, and the relationship between faculty advisor and student. The students surveyed (n=38) are generally positive about their advisors, students in their programs, and school community as a whole. Back to en kennedy: teachers’ perceptions of the effects of differences in teacher and students’ racial the school-aged population in the united states becomes more racially diverse, the teaching force remains primarily white, often resulting in students having teachers whose racial identity is different than their own. Results indicate that difference and lack of familiarity can be challenging for both teachers and students. With respect to strategies, teachers use certain aspects of culturally relevant pedagogy but may need more explicit instruction on how to utilize their students’ racial identities and cultural backgrounds in the classroom. Back to mazur: the impact of exercise on freshmen academic, mental, and social adjustment to study examined the relationship between exercise and students’ academic, mental, and social adjustment to the freshman year of college. This study collected survey responses from 168 notre dame students in their sophomore, junior, and senior year. The study concludes with implications of the findings in terms of personal exercise routines and university required physical education programs as well as recommendations for future research. Students and teachers demonstrate disconnect in perceived participation with assignments outside of class, but the numbers better align with course-packet-based classes. Furthermore, students and teachers often have different ideas about how to attend to cyberbullying issues effectively. To answer these research questions, interviews were conducted with middle school teachers and focus groups were conducted with seventh and eighth grade students at a public middle school in northwest indiana. Results of this study support current research in that many students and teachers at this school did have different opinions about what cyberbullying is, how often it takes place, and how to best prevent it. While most students said that they did not know how to attend to issues of cyberbullying, some students said that allowing more opportunities for students to have conversations and share personal stories with each other about the negative effects of cyberbullying would be an effective way to prevent it at their school. In addition, many teachers said that increasing parental involvement and focusing more on the character development of their students would be effective in preventing cyberbullying. A classroom was observed, students were surveyed, and a teacher was interviewed to gather key data to pursue this project. Are there varied reasons motivating student enrollment based on variables like ethnicity in connection to household education level, income, and distance from school? The integrative and instrumental factors for enrollment are based on previous theories and studies: to speak spanish, to speak english, to read and write in english and spanish, for increased educational opportunities, to provide future and career opportunities, and to preserve cultural heritage. In classrooms where teachers modeled kindness, respect, and engagement through words and actions, students followed suit. Students from these classrooms enjoyed morning meeting and viewed it as an important part of their day. In the classroom where the teacher haphazardly conducted morning meeting, students acted out and unkindly towards one another, often going unnoticed by the teacher. It teaches students how to greet one another in various manners, provides a space for students to share, and encourages cooperation and collaboration in the classroom.

Back to ne smith: teachers’ perceptions of students’ home lives and teacher efficacy ng research shows the impact that teachers’ efficacy beliefs have on student outcomes. This research is focused on filling a gap in the existing research by examining how teachers’ perceptions of students’ home lives affects teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. This study introduces an edited version of the perception of students questionnaire to measure teachers’ perception of students’ home lives, and items from both the teacher & principal sense of efficacy scale and the teachers’ sense of efficacy scale to measure teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. The central question of this study is: how do a teacher’s perceptions of their students’ home life make them feel like they are either more or less capable of performing their job well? Results show that public school teachers were more likely to perceive problems relating to their students’ home lives and more likely to report lower efficacy beliefs than the private school teachers. However, results did not show a significant correlation between teachers’ perceptions of students’ home lives and teacher efficacy beliefs. Back to ha stewart: the effect of positive student/teacher relationships on students' ability to count and number purpose of this paper was to focus on positive student and teacher relationships and how much (if at all) they affected students’ ability to count and number objects. The aspects she looked for were: if and when students asked for help; how the teacher corrected student behavior; if activities allowed for any interaction between the teacher and students; how the classroom design and décor reflected the teacher and student relationship; and how often the teacher was out of the room. It was clear that there were more supportive relationships between the teachers and students in classroom 2 than classroom 1. It is difficult to determine if the relationships affected the students’ ability to count and number things, but it is clear that a classroom environment with supportive teacher and student relationships creates an atmosphere where students can use these skills. Politicians, academics, and educators wish to change the pedagogy of social studies so that it produces students who are citizens, complex thinkers, and critical inquirers. Meaningful learning is a performance scale based on students learning and to what degree they understand the concepts. The study observes the pedagogy and method of social studies at a montessori school to see how they foster impactful learning in the subject across grade levels and if this meaningful learning helps students gain the skills those who wish to reform social studies are emphasizing—including citizenship, complex thinking and critical inquiry. Using observation and focus groups of students, the study finds many instances of meaningful understanding in the students and a structural organization that promotes this impactful learning. Back to tenaglia: autonomy and ownership in physical education and their effects on middle school students’ attitudes toward purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which the provision of autonomy and ownership in a middle school physical education (pe) unit integrating diet and exercise tracking impacts students’ attitudes toward school. An adapted survey administered at the beginning and end of data collection produced quantitative data to measure student perceptions of autonomy and teacher control in pe class, as well as students’ attitudes toward school. Both students and teachers express a positive opinion of the pe unit integrating diet and exercise tracking. This study reflects the importance of the provision of autonomy and ownership in education and provides a model for other schools to adapt in their own pe curriculum. Future research can address the limiting factors of time and sample size to more fully assess connections between the provision of autonomy in pe and students’ attitudes toward school. Using an online survey of 105 respondents, this study also investigates students’ perceptions of the stress level of students in other class years.

Cdu is among the few universities in the nation that require research training in the medical education curriculum. The medical student research thesis program (msrtp) assists students in the third and fourth years in developing and completing an independent research project. While the overall theme is healthcare disparities, students have wide latitude to choose research projects that include biobehavioral/psychosocial, health services research, and public policy with application to underserved communities. Fourth-year students present their findings at the annual medical student research colloquium held each cdu/ucla medical education program is committed to produce outstanding physicians by providing excellent clinical, research, and practical training for individuals interested in serving urban, medically disadvantaged populations. Students enrolled in the cdu college of medicine are required to engage in a longitudinal research activity called the “medical student research thesis program (msrtp)” at cdu, which culminates in the submission of a overall goal of the msrtp is to engage medical students in the systematic acquisition, organization, analysis, and interpretation of information to develop new knowledge, attitudes, and skills essential for becoming excellent physicians, providing excellent medical care, and becoming leaders in their ial areas of accordance with the bench-to-bedside approach to translational research, students have many options in choosing a mentored research project, in various areas such as basic, clinical, biobehavioral/psychosocial, environmental, quality improvement, public policy, and/or educational research.
