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,…

Wu, Mei Jiun – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2020
Using a fixed effects model, a balanced panel data set of 6,922 schools in California from 2004 to 2011 was analyzed to see whether changes in resources would affect subgroup performance at intraschool level. Seven school resources variables previously demonstrated influential to school or subgroup achievement at interschool level were tested for…

Belfield, Clive R.; Jenkins, Davis; Fink, John – Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2019
As community colleges across the country implement large-scale reforms to improve student success, they need timely and actionable metrics to determine if the changes they are making in a given year or term will likely improve student outcomes in the long run. In this brief, the authors examine how well nine measures of students' progress in their…

Latoya Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2020
College Algebra has been the main credit bearing mathematics course for many college students, but only one in five students at the community college level were passing this course. Students that did not have a mathematics dependent major seen College Algebra as a gatekeeper for completing college. With several students struggling to complete…

She, Hsiao-Ching; Lin, Huann-shyang; Huang, Li-Yu – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Abstract The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has drawn a substantial amount of attention from science educators and educational policymakers because it marked the first time that PISA assessed students' ability to evaluate and design scientific inquiry using computer-based simulations. We undertook a secondary analysis…

Centeio, Erin Elizabeth; Somers, Cheryl Leigh; Kulik, Noel; Garn, Alex C.; Shen, Bo; Martin, Jeffrey; Fahlman, Mariane M.; Mccaughtry, Nathan A. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Background: The relationship between physical activity (PA) and academic achievement has received much attention given the recent push to increase children's PA levels through Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs (CSPAP). Methods: In this study we followed 214 urban elementary students through an 8-month healthy school transformation…

Williams, Ryan; Citkowicz, Martyna; Miller, David I.; Lindsay, Jim; Walters, Kirk – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Since the standards-based education movement began in the early 1990s, mathematics education reformers have developed and evaluated many interventions to support students in mastering more rigorous content. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of U.S. PreK-12 mathematics intervention effects from 1991 to 2017 to study sources of…

García, Emma; Weiss, Elaine – Economic Policy Institute, 2017
Extensive research has conclusively demonstrated that children's social class is one of the most significant predictors--if not the single most significant predictor--of their educational success. This three-part study combines a statistical analysis of early skills gaps among a recent cohort of children and changes in them over time with a…

Engel, Mimi; Claessens, Amy; Watts, Tyler; Farkas, George – Educational Researcher, 2016
Analyzing data from two nationally representative kindergarten cohorts, we examine the mathematics content teachers cover in kindergarten. We expand upon prior research, finding that kindergarten teachers report emphasizing basic mathematics content. Although teachers reported increased coverage of advanced content between the 1998-1999 and…

Samantha Brooks – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Background: For decades, public education, particularly in urban communities, has failed to ensure students of color are able to experience sustained academic success. As a result, campuses within these communities often find themselves vacillating between impending school improvement reforms and short-lived school improvements, only to return to…

Matsuoka, Ryoji – Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook, 2014
Japanese compulsory education had been praised because of its equality around the early 80s. However, since the third wave-educational reform that began in the 1980s and still persists, it has been pointed out that there are disparities between schools in terms of students' socioeconomic background and academic performance. Although there have…

Nilsen, Trude; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2014
We study whether changes in school emphasis on academic success (SEAS) and safe schools (SAFE) may explain the increased science performance in Norway between TIMSS 2007 and 2011. Two-level structural equation modelling (SEM) of merged TIMSS data was used to investigate whether changes in levels of SEAS and SAFE mediate the changes in science…

Lie, Richard; Selcen Guzey, S.; Moore, Tamara J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
Recent reforms in education call for science teachers to incorporate STEM concepts into their curricula. This study explores the association among student and teacher demographics, and student learning of engineering content and attitudes towards STEM after participation in an elementary or middle school engineering-based science curricula.…

Atar, Hakan Yavuz; Atar, Burcu – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2012
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of some of the changes such as student centered learning (i.e. inquiry science instruction), outfitting classrooms with latest technology and computers that the reform movement has brought about on students' TIMSS 2007 science achievements. Two-staged stratified sampling was used in the selection…
