N. H. Douma; M. J. Warrens; E. Fleur; M. A. Dijks; H. Korpershoek – British Educational Research Journal, 2025
Dutch secondary education is a multi-tiered system, and many students are placed in a single track in the first year (seventh grade) of secondary education. As part of the placement procedure, all sixth-grade students take an end of primary school test. Although these standardised attainment tests (SATs) are considered high-stakes tests, the…

Modrek, Anahid S.; Ramirez, Gerardo – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
Individual differences in self-regulation have been a topic of increased empirical research. However, few investigations have been conducted on how sub-components of self-regulation differentially predict education outcomes over time. We examined cognitive and behavior regulation as predictors of middle-school students' (n = 127) long-term…

García, Emma; Han, Eunice S. – SAGE Open, 2022
This paper examines the relationship between teacher pay and students' academic achievement, using nationally representative, district-level linked data between districts' performance on standardized tests and average teacher base salary. By employing state fixed effects and multilevel mixed effects models, we find that both mathematics and…

Stephanie Pacheco Garcia – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Standardized testing is generally regarded in schools today as the primary way to measure and determine student achievement. Student performance determines the degree to which schools, teachers, and students are identified as being successful. The problem being investigated by this study was that all students are spending too much classroom…

This quantitative study is primarily intended to examine whether district level performance results from Grade 8 ELA state assessments can help to predict future passing rates on AP exams. The participants for the study are all 218 K-12 school districts in New Jersey, all of which generated results across score levels and passing rates for PARCC…

School finance formulas vary from state to state, impacting school district educational outcomes. Rural school districts are especially affected due to inherent challenges in producing high student achievement scores. This study examined whether variables including socioeconomic status and per-pupil local tax level impacted student achievement…

Evaluation of a Social Determinant of Health: Academic Achievement through Physical Education Policy
Rodriguez, Vanessa; Reid, David B.; Gutmore, Daniel; Alfonso, Erick – AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, 2023
Physical activity can meaningfully influence educational outcomes. However, physical activity among youth remains insufficient (World Health Organization, 2018).Youth who are not physically active are more likely to encounter chronic health issues including obesity, depression, and anxiety (Bartelink et al., 2019, Bélair et al., 2018, Krebs,…

Sacco, Chiara; Falzetti, Patrizia – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2021
The study of the territorial difference in educational achievement is a widely debated topic, in particular in Italy for the presence of the well-known strong regional disparities. National and international large scale assessments confirmed that the main characteristic of the Italian school system is the geographical cleavage between North and…

Kelly McGinn; Laura Young; Alexandra Huyghe; Julie Booth – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Recent work has demonstrated that having students study worked examples and answer self-explanation prompts as part of their problem-solving practice improves learning on researcher-developed measures of mathematical proficiency. However, little work has been done to date to investigate whether these benefits translate to improvements on the types…

Lavrijsen, Jeroen; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Boncquet, Michiel; Verschueren, Karine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
While bivariate associations between motivation and academic achievement have been soundly established, only a few studies have documented evidence for its incremental predictive role above and beyond other student features related to student achievement, such as intelligence and personality. Moreover, it is not yet clear which motivational…

David Sime – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In the 2017-18 school year, 18% of New York students opted out of a mandated state assessment test. On Long Island, that number was closer to 50% of students opting out of one or more tests. The implications of this phenomenon are far-reaching, but unknown. This study seeks to better understand both who opts out and the potential impact of opt out…

Jennifer Swann Jacobson – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Eighth-grade students who are placed into Algebra 1 but fail end-of-course exams may experience lowered grade point averages (GPAs) and loss of motivation for math or avoid taking advanced mathematics courses in high school. Middle-achieving students present challenges in terms of mathematics placement. Self-efficacy theory and locus of control…

Atit, Kinnari; Power, Jason R.; Veurink, Norma; Uttal, David H.; Sorby, Sheryl; Panther, Grace; Msall, Camille; Fiorella, Logan; Carr, Martha – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Spatial skills and mathematical ability have been repeatedly identified as critical for achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Previous studies have identified correlations between spatial skills and mathematical achievement; however, questions remain regarding improvements in non-spatial areas…

Adolescents across the United States, in general, do not get enough sleep. This is often the result of early school start times. When children reach adolescence, a biological change occurs, causing their circadian cycle to delay and resisting the build-up of homeostatic pressure. Consequently, adolescents have difficulties falling asleep earlier…
