(Finch et al. 5). The trend that diffrent races and sexs are effected by education diffrent was noted all around. Whites and males gain higher scores per education than females and blacks on the AFQT scores, with “differential improvement in test scores with each additional year of education that works against women” (Finch et al.

Unit 6, Assignment 1. Name Institution Section 1: Data File Description The academic performance in class is measured through the exam metrics such as the GPA. However, the GPA may show the performance but not the several factors that define the overall outcome of the GPA. Some of the factors that may affect the GPA score is gender. This paper seeks to find out if there is any relationship between gender and the GPA performance.

The p-value for the total score t-test was 0.01179. This data shows the results were significant and did not happen by chance. In order to confirm our p-value as accurate, the t-statistic value was 2.65308 which met and exceeded the t-critical value of 2.02809. This solidifies the results as indicating a significant difference between the two sets of total scores data between the principal core students and the cohort students.

The male reading performance mean scores for PISA were chosen as the dependent variable. Figure 1.1 The results of the multiple regression analysis showed

While some research linked PSTM to L2 reading ability (e.g., Dufva and Voeten, 1999; Service, 1992), some others found no relationship between PSTM and L2 reading ability (e.g., Hummel, 2009; Harrington & Sawyer, 1992; Kormos & Sáfár, 2008). These studies were also different in terms of the methodology and the proficiency level of the participants used. These differences in the research findings, methodology, and proficiency level pointed to the need to examine the relationship between PSTM and L2 reading ability. More specifically, prior studies used different methodologies to see if there was any relationship between PSTM and L2 reading ability. Moreover, all these studies focused on just one proficiency level, and none of them examined this potential relationship across proficiency levels.

Gender has significant influence on academic achievement of secondary school adolescent students. Tautnar (2004) showed that males out performed

Results Statical test ofT-test and pearson were used to analyse the data as well as paramentric means Girls report higher levels of anxiety however it was only small change There is a positive relationship between Sc and interest thouse who perceived themselved to be good were more interested Negative relationship between SC and text anxiety however interest had no given impact on test

In “What’s Lost as Handwriting Fades,” Maria Konnikova explains that handwriting develops better thinking skills, and makes the process of learning easier. According to Konnikova, the Common Core standards only encourage legible writing in kindergarten and first grade. In contrast, professors now make emphasize on the students to be proficient on typing on the keyboard. Based on a study, children who physically wrote a letter demonstrated that specific areas of their brain were functioning. While the children who watched other people writing the letter, did not had the same effect.

In an attempt to produce more reliable results, researchers looked at student transcripts and eliminated student data if they were enrolled in more than one math or science course. To control for oversampling (minority groups), weights were applied during the statistical analysis that lead to unbiased estimates for the parameters. Lastly, because the study only analyzed 10th grade students in math or science courses, outcomes/results can only be applied to those groups. Maltese, Tai, and Fan found a lack of a consistent significant relationship between the time spent on homework and the final course grades. However, they did find a relationship between time spent on homework and scores on standardized tests.

The Microsoft office reading level tool was applied the writing on Critical incident 1. The report stated the writing contained 20 % passive sentences, a Flesch Reading Ease of 47.9 and a Flesch Kincaid grade level of 11.0. I rarely us ethis tool to assess my writing although I am aware of it as a tool. The reason is likely because I find writing tedious and I am not confident in my skills.

With greatest indication from third and fourth grade teachers who have shown evidence that these standards are being implemented more consistently through the delivery of more project based, inquiry based instruction in these classrooms. It is clear that kindergarten through second grade teachers are struggling with the implementing writing into the curriculum as reflected in principal and Instructional Coaches’ observational notes and logs. Teachers in all grades kindergarten through fourth are in considerable need of training and proper implementation of high quality literacy centers that can pinpoint specific skill deficits for students in the area of Reading Language Arts and quality centers that promote writing across the curriculum. Teachers also need to be using data more efficiently to drive their classroom instruction and create differentiated instruction for those students who are in need of

The analysis of evidence-based foundation of writing instruction is extremely important. Troia (2014) states “Writing is critical to student success in education despite the importance of this success in writing is a struggle for a large segment of the population, and nearly 75% of the nation’s children and adolescents are not able to produce texts are judged to meet grade level expectations”. Writing is extremely important to people because the future holds a high expectation for students to learn to write because jobs are requiring higher expectations for their employees especially being able to write. Writing in everyday life is very important to keep students and adults functioning in life and to be able to succeed and support themselves

The U.S. is one of the biggest countries that host a large number of students from all over the world. Through the years the American colleges and universities are attracting the student from different nations. Students come overseas to obtain the degree that wanted. Talking, reading and writing in English are the biggest purpose of coming to the United States. Statics show that non-native students facing difficulties to write in a formal way, and that’s the most issues that’s facing the students.

This data also shows that 44% of Caucasian 8th graders tested proficient in reading, while 21% of Hispanic students, and only 16% of African American students tested proficient

With so many schools in the United States requiring students to demonstrate writing skills to graduate high school, it is crucial that educators take initiative to instill these skills for the success of their students. Strong writers possess qualities that are necessary for the writing process, such as attention, memory and self-monitoring. For a students with ADHD, it is much more difficult to acquire these abilities to become strong writers. According to Jacobson and Reid (2010), “95% of students with disabilities were at or below the basic level for writing performance” (p. 157).
