The purpose of this quantitative, descriptive research study was to determine, through statistical analysis, any correlation between the perceived transformational leadership traits of CIOs at two-year community colleges in Kansas and measures of the job satisfaction among IT workers at those community colleges. The objectives of this research…

Research indicates that approximately 70% of college students engage in some form of cheating (Austin, Simpson, & Reynen, 2005; Bowers, 1964; Leming; 1978; McCabe & Trevino, 1993, 1996; McCabe, Trevino, & Butterfield, 2001a). College students overwhelmingly agree that cheating is morally wrong; yet, their actions are not reflective of…

Over the past few years Research Data Services (RDS), part of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), has led numerous large-scale, longitudinal projects. Feedback to schools has been provided for all of these projects, and has been in the form of sets of tables and charts and electronic files illustrating pupil performance and…

A norm distribution consisting of test scores received by 810 college students on a 150 item dichotomously-scored four-alternative multiple-choice test was empirically estimated through several item-examinee sampling procedures. The post mortem item-sampling investigation was specifically designed to manipulate systematically the variables of…

Age and sex distributions of weight by single inches of height for adults 18-74 years of age in the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States are given for the period 1971-1974. Discussion is made concerning the comparison of the results of this survey with those of previous surveys. (LH)

Presents rationale for eliminating use of normal distributions when interpreting measures of intellectual ability. (DW)

A total of 22 tables are presented exhibiting standard scores with corresponding percentile norms for Idaho schools participating in the Iowa Tests of Educational Development. (CK)

National studies of students, and studies that compare institutions, have identified many predictors of students' graduation rates, including socioeconomic status and admission selectivity. When there predictive variables are applied to data from an individual school, it may be found that they have less predictive power. This paper presents a…

Multiple matrix sampling (MMS) procedures were utilized to determine the necessary parameters of a Pearson Type I curve. Empirical norms distributions were approximated by both the Type I model and the negative hypergeometric model. Four existing ITED norms distributions, two subtests and two grades, were approximated by the MMS procedures. Two…

Multiple regression is used to discover interconnections between IQ and vocabulary test scores as one variable, and socioeconomic factors as the other. Results show total variance as explained by predictors is never more than eight per cent, indicating differences in IQ scores are not attributable to environmental factors. (RW)

This report, applicable to all American cities, demonstrates how an environment has been created in the Nation's schools that is hostile to education, and that it is time to seek alternatives to additional millions of dollars to solve people problems. (Author)

Statistics for 1969 indicate an apparent improvement over 1967 in both education and income among black college families. Contends that these differences resulted largely from institutional changes in the normative sample to include institutions which tend to draw from better educated, more affluent black families. (RJ)
