Valdes, Olivia M.; Denner, Jill; Dickson, Daniel J.; Laursen, Brett – Educational Psychology, 2021
Strong evidence indicates that student expectations of success in mathematics decline in middle school. The goal of the present study was to examine whether the expectations of teachers and the quality of the student-teacher relationship play a role in these declines. A total of 201 (86 boys, 115 girls) Latino/a students (M = 11.0 years) and their…

Grace Yeeun Lee Seo – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Hispanic first-generation college students (FGCS) experience more potential barriers to college success than continuing generation college students (CGCS). With an eye toward identifying ways to support students in negotiating these barriers, there were three purposes to this study. First was to understand the variability among Hispanic FGCS based…

Dorph, Rena; Cannady, Matthew A.; Schunn, Christian – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2016
Expanding on recent advances in science education, cognitive and social psychology, and sociocultural studies, the paper explores a construct called "science learning activation" and a theoretical framework that describes the characteristics, function, and impact of this construct. Authors define "science learning activation"…

Douglass, John Aubrey – Center for Studies in Higher Education, 2016
The acceptance of new growth theory relates, in part, to a number of highly touted regional success stories--or what I term "Knowledge Based Economic Areas" (KBEAs) in this and past essays. The United States, and California in particular, is viewed as perhaps the most robust creators of KBEAs, providing an influential model that is…

Peterman, Karen; Pan, Yi; Robertson, Jane; Lee, Shelley Glenn – Journal of Technology Education, 2014
Biotechnology constitutes one of the most challenging, cutting-edge, and rapidly growing fields in science today. Both the practical implications and the hands-on nature of this "modern science" make the topic of biotechnology an attractive addition to the high school science curriculum. The current study is the first of its kind to…

Benken, Babette M.; Ramirez, Jorge; Li, Xuhui; Wetendorf, Scott – Journal of Developmental Education, 2015
In order to improve student success within developmental programs, we conducted a study of 1st year students taking required, developmental mathematics courses at a large, urban public university. Findings suggest that merely the number of years of mathematics that students take in high school is not a precise indicator of student readiness and…

Voight, Adam; Austin, Gregory; Hanson, Thomas – California Comprehensive Center at WestEd, 2013
This report, written by WestEd's Adam Voight, Gregory Austin, and Thomas Hanson, describes a study that examines what makes successful schools different from other schools. Rather than define success in absolute terms, this study's definition is based on whether or not a school is performing better than predicted given the characteristics of the…

Hagedorn, Linda Serra; Cypers, Scott; Lester, Jaime – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2008
It is an unfortunate reality that not all students successfully navigate the path from urban community colleges to four-year institutions. Despite the apparent obstacles and odds, some students are successful. This article is the equivalent of reading a book by starting with the last chapter and then reading the rest of the book to find out why…

Frantz, Paul L.; Wilson, Alex H. – Journal of Legal Studies Education, 2004
Finding reliable determinants to successful performance of students has long been an important topic in business education literature. The quest to determine why some students succeed and others fail has driven a great deal of research in both the education and business literature. This area of inquiry is related to assessment of student…
