The current study examined the validity of curriculum-based measures (CBM) in mathematics computation (M-COMP) and oral reading fluency (R-CBM) in predicting spring mathematics and reading performance level and performance risk (>1 SD below the national mean) among students classified as English Learners (ELs). Additionally, the current study…

The purpose of the present study is to compare performances of mixture modeling approaches (i.e., one-step approach, three-step maximum-likelihood approach, three-step BCH approach, and LTB approach) based on diverse sample size conditions. To carry out this research, two simulation studies were conducted with two different models, a latent class…

Background: It is important to investigate receipt of vocational rehabilitation (VR) services, service patterns and outcomes for youth with autism, so that limited public resources can be used more efficiently. Method: This study used chi-squared automatic interaction detector, and multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate…

Background: Prior longitudinal and correlational research with adults and adolescents indicates that spatial ability is a predictor of science learning and achievement. However, there is little research to date with primary-school aged children that addresses this relationship. Understanding this association has the potential to inform curriculum…

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) predicts that a combination of attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control predict intentions, and that intentions ultimately predict behavior. Previous studies have found that the TPB can predict students' engagement in plagiarism. Furthermore, the General Theory of Crime suggests that…

This study sought to examine the relationship between sleep, alcohol, and academic performance in undergraduate students. Previous research has demonstrated relationships between study variables, however, sleep quality has largely been ignored as it relates to alcohol consumption and academic performance together. This study sought to add to the…

Colleges and universities across the nation rely heavily on donations from private individuals, especially with the decline in government funding, to supplement operational budgets and support student financial aid. The purpose of this study is to determine if the (a) age, (b) gender, (c) race/ethnicity, (d) marital status, (e) academic…

The present study explored relationships between two larger streams of research--faculty-student interactions and destructive leadership embodied in faculty incivility towards students. While interactions with faculty outside of class offer tremendous benefits for students' intellectual and socio-emotional development, avoidance is one of the…

Completion of a college degree, as reflected by graduation rates, is a priority for campus administrators, politicians, families, and students. When students do not graduate, it has an effect on students, families, institutions, and surrounding communities. Colleges and universities, whether public or private, may find financial support declining…

The purpose of this study was to develop a methodological approach using secondary data that researchers, faculty, and staff can utilize to assess student course performance and to identify the input and course environment factors that best predict student course success in an undergraduate lecture capture quantitative methods course. Using the…

Evaluations of college awareness programs have been devoted almost exclusively to secondary-level programs. Thus, it remains unclear the extent to which elementary-level programs are effective in influencing students' attitudes about college. This research project investigated a program that attempted to influence elementary students' attitudes…

Three-dimensional science instruction advocates for classroom contexts that place equal emphasis on science content, crosscutting concepts, and science practices. This instructional change requires a shift away from content first approaches. Such a shift can be problematic for educators that insist that strong content understanding is necessary…

Drawing on data from the survey of former students, the primary purpose of this analysis is to identify determinants of students' performance in a sociological statistics class. Multiple correlation regression was used in analyzing the data. The results revealed that student status, previous courses taken in mathematics and statistics were the…

E-learning is the rising phenomenon of delivering education to far off areas through the use of internet technology. This study was carried out on e-learning institutes of Pakistan to find out the influence of critical factors has on students' satisfaction? This research conducted by utilizing thirteen predictor variables under six dimensions…
