This research, by determining teachers' organizational trust level and perception of organizational support, aims to determine how much these variables predict job satisfaction. The research has been designed within correlational screening model. The population of the research is the teachers work in public primary, secondary and high schools in…

We explored how gender and gender similarity affects friendship dissolution following the transition to middle school. We predicted that both gender and gender similarity (measured by perceived similarity to own-gender and other-gender peers) explain dissolution trends and that less own-gender similarity or more other-gender similarity predicts…

Science-related careers are often considered to be less accessible by many children. More research is needed to distinguish any influences from different aspects of life so that support and/or interventions can be focused to help mitigate any disadvantage and inaccessibility. In order to gain greater understanding of constraints or influences on…

Background: A successful transition from primary to secondary school for typically developing (TD) children is associated with academic and psychosocial outcomes. Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) tend to have pervasive needs in both of these domains, yet little is known about their experience of this transition. We have no…

Collegiate esports communities are as prone to bullying as other campus social spaces are. This pilot study surveyed student members of competitive online gaming clubs on a midsized university campus. Participants self-reported bullying experiences both in and out of game and indicated whether they primarily play support roles or core roles within…

People encounter intertemporal decisions every day and often engage in behaviors that are not good for their future. One factor that may explain these decisions is the perception of their distal future self. An emerging body of research suggests that individuals vary in how they perceive their future self and many perceive their future self as a…

We examined how ACT® Aspire® (from grades 8 to 10), PreACT® (from grade 10), and ACT® test scores (from grades 10 and 11) relate to students' chances of scoring a 3 or higher as well as 4 or higher on selected Advanced Placement (AP) exams. Data for the study was available for 49,220 students from 318 high schools who had taken at least one AP…

Recent national research on the validity of the SAT shows that students with higher SAT scores are more likely to earn higher grades in college, and that SAT scores add about 15% more predictive power above high school grade point average (HSGPA) to estimate students' college performance (Westrick, Marini, Young, Ng, Shmueli, & Shaw, 2019).…

This brief presents a method for predicting the impact of school closures on average ACT® test scores. The purpose is to illustrate a methodology and major conditions that should be considered in predicting aggregate ACT scores when school closes prematurely and learning and testing are disrupted. Across three scenarios examined herein, the impact…

With the expansion of early childhood education, more studies have documented significant benefits of early learning and social and emotional learning on academic success. The evaluation used descriptive and inferential statistical analyses to examine HISD prekindergarten students' academic achievement in language and literacy, mathematics, and…

The Hispanic community within the U.S. has steadily grown over the last few decades. People identifying as Latina/o/x are already the largest minority population and are projected to become 29% of the U.S. population by the year 2050 (Salinas, 2015). Since 1980, the number of school age children within the Latina/o/x community increased from 8.1%…

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions are delivered using a tiered-service model, in which supervisors with higher levels of experience, education, and certification oversee clinicians who provide direct intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Despite the base of empirical support for ABA constructed over several…

Background: Radiologic technology programs train students to be entry level radiologic technologists. These programs have historically had a high rate of attrition. Students selected for the program usually fill a finite number of seats, and every student who fails to complete the radiologic technology program creates a vacancy. Every vacancy…

There exists a critical need to boost the overall number of baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses to accomplish goals for providing high-quality healthcare for all United States citizens (Institute of Medicine, 2011). Given the limited number of sites needed to facilitate clinical learning experiences for pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing…

Several studies have found that students with involved parents, regardless of income or educational background, have higher chances of achieving high academic grades, attending school consistently, and graduating high school. The purpose of this multiple regression quantitative study is twofold. The researcher will examine whether a list of…
