Diliberti, Melissa; Schwartz, Heather L.; Hamilton, Laura S.; Kaufman, Julia H. – RAND Corporation, 2020
The emergence of COVID-19 in the United States in spring 2020 forced nearly all U.S. schools to transition rapidly to remote learning. However, a minority of U.S. public schools were prepared for a crisis on the level of COVID-19. Using responses to the American Educator Panels, RAND researchers investigate how schools' pre-pandemic planning…

Finch, A. J., Jr.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1985
Collected normative data for the Children's Depression Inventory on 1,463 public school children in Grades 2 through 8. Obtained significant sex and grade differences, but the absolute magnitude of these differences was small. Scores were very consistent with those previously reported. (Author/BH)

Fink, Michael D.; Truckenmiller, James L. – 1982
Demographic prediction of juvenile delinquency has been hampered by the heterogeniety of youth samples. In an attempt to correct for sampling bias in predicting juvenile delinquency, 1,689 male and female youths(aged 12 to 19, drawn from a 6 percent systematic, census tract, random sample of Pennsylvania school youths) completed the Youth Needs…

McClary, Sybil A.; Lubin, Bernard – Journal of Drug Education, 1985
Manipulated three types of examiners and four types of data in order to study the examiner effect on self-reports of drug use by students (N=152). Analyses revealed that type of examiner, sex, and year in school had a significant three way interaction affecting self-reports of drug use. (Author/BH)

Cahan, Sorel – 1987
Since the measurement of school achievement involves the administration of achievement tests to various grades on various subjects, both grade level and subject matter contribute to within-school achievement variations. To determine whether achievement test scores vary most among different fields within a grade level, or within fields among…

Lohaus, Arnold; Ev Elben, Cornelia; Ball, Juliane; Klein-Hessling, Johannes – Educational Psychology, 2004
School transition is a critical life event for many children. However, the effects of school transition on children's stress experiences reported in the literature have been inconsistent. The present study with 564 third- to sixth-graders compared the changes in experienced stress level and in somatic and psychological symptoms during the…

Bean, Barbara L. – 1988
This report explores teacher computer education through a comparison of two investigations of computer confidence in teachers: (1) taped interviews with preservice teachers and observations of their attitudes and teaching behaviors as they presented classroom and computer activities as student teachers; and (2) an overview of the development of a…

Osborne, J. Grayson; And Others – Rural Sociology, 1984
A stratified random sample of 686 elementary and secondary public school students in rural areas of Utah classed as rapidly or not rapidly growing was administered the Mooney Problem Check List. Effects related to rapid or slow community growth were specific to grade level and to problem domains of the check list. (BRR)

Levin, James; Klindienst, David – 1983
This study compared attitudinal data on students who had dropped college preparatory science (academic terminal) in high school (N=55) with those who continued to enroll (academic continuing) in college preparatory science courses (N=108). Eight attitudes that have been hypothesized to be related to learning cognitive performance and enrollment in…

James, Robert K.; Smith, Stan – Science Education, 1985
Investigated the grade/grade levels at which alienation from science occurs. Alienation is defined in terms of declining science subject preference and attitude scores of students (including Blacks and females) in cross sectional samples of adjacent grade levels. Data show that the greatest decline occurred between 6th and 7th grades. (JN)

McGee, Glenn William – 1986
Although technological innovations have been widely adopted in elementary schools, efforts to implement these have generally not been successful. Past research on innovation has largely ignored the social context in which implementation occurs. This research examines how the implementation of the microcomputer is affected by the traditional social…

Zuk, Doris – Computers in the Schools, 1986
This study investigated the effects of presentation mode--microcomputer versus paper text presentation--school grade, and reading ability on third and fifth graders' attention to and comprehension of simple reading tasks. Results indicate that despite the fact children overwhelmingly preferred the computer presentation, it did not result in better…
