The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge and insight into how student- and school-level factors impact mathematics performance. Within the school and student systems, there are numerous variables that can have significant impacts...
Modification of Perceived Enjoyment, Exertion and Performance Among Novice and Experienced Exercisers: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach to Perceptual Change
Regular exercise has been found to be efficacious in the prevention of a variety of diseases, and in maintenance of physical health. Nonetheless, a large number of individuals do not engage in regular exercise. As a result, improving...
The importance of vocabulary knowledge, syntactic awareness and metacognitive awareness in reading comprehension has been established in the first language research. By contrast, fewer studies have documented the role of these components...
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an intervention รขยย self-generated analogy instruction รขยย on the situational interest (interest generated primarily by certain conditions, stimuli, and/or concrete objects in the...
An Application of Hierarchical Generalized Linear Modeling (HGLM) Techniques for Investigation into the Effects of Comingling Delinquent and Non-Delinquent Youth in Juvenile Justice Prevention Programs in Florida
Current literature in the social sciences largely ignores important nested data structures when seeking to explain or interpret effects of independent variables on outcomes of interest. This is particularly true when the outcome of...
This study applied Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the robustness of parameter estimates for a two-level Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) to the violations of the second-level residual homoskedasticity and independence assumptions....
An investigation is reported by which a multimodal assessment of affect was incorporated by measuring introspective (verbal reports) and objective (heart rate and skin conductance) measures in a laboratory setting for the purpose of...
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of associative and dissociative intervention strategies upon perceived exertion in undergraduate and graduate female students (n = 13, 18 - 24 years of age) exercising on stationary...
This study demonstrates the three-level hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) applied to educational research. The sequential steps for developing, analyzing, evaluating, and applying the three-level HGLM are demonstrated in the...
A new approach to representing data from multiple regression designs is presented in this dissertation. The index, denoted as rsp, is the semi-partial correlation of the predictor with the outcome of interest. This effect size can be...
Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding the Menstrual Cycle, Oral Contraceptives, and Sport Performance: The Conceptualization and Development of a Questionnaire for Athletic Coaches
The purpose of this study was to construct a questionnaire for athletic coaches that measures (1) general knowledge of the menstrual cycle (MC) and oral contraceptives (OC); (2) specific knowledge of athletes' MC and OC use; and (3)...
The purpose of this study was to examine effects of enhanced student ratings feedback on instructional practices, teaching effectiveness and student motivation. Sixty high school teachers from three high schools in Turkey participated in...
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the differences in adolescent identity formation and autonomy within and across two cultures. In addition, this study also investigated the influences of age and gender on identity...
This study examined the relationship among vocabulary knowledge, syntactic awareness and reading comprehension in 155 English-speaking undergraduate and graduate students. Confirmatory factor analysis analyses show syntactic awareness is...
The present study examined the effects of lingual background and item format on the scores of students whose vernacular is not English (i.e. secondary-English speakers) within the context of a 24-item verbal ability test written in...
The Effect of Assigned Achievement Goals, Self-Monitoring, Interest in the Subject Matter, and Goal Orientations on Students' Computer Skill Achievement, Use of Learning Strategies, and Computer Self-Efficacy Beliefs
The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of two self-regulated learning strategies, assigning achievement goals to students (process or outcome) and self-monitoring of learning, on students' computer skill achievement and self...
The purpose of this study was to investigate athletic participation and the development of disordered eating behaviors in women by comparing collegiate varsity athletes and the general university population on three variables: disordered...
Reversal theory conceptualizes that telic-dominant individuals tend to be more serious-minded and anxiety-avoidant than paratelic-dominant individuals who tend to be more playful and excitement-seeking. Previous reversal theory research...
Making use of the observable response time data now available due to computerized testing offers exciting opportunities for the theory and practice of educational measurement. This study extends item response theory by developing a model...
There is a growing need to use response time data to improve measurement quality with the increasing popularity of computerized testing. This work simultaneously models item response and response time to improve on current IRT models...
When conducting meta-analysis, reviewers gather extensive sets of primary studies for meta-analysis. When we have two or more primary studies by the same author, or two more studies using the same data set, we have the issues we call ...
The study was focused on the effects of working memory (WM) capacity and text elaboration on the processing and product of text comprehension. Participants included 73 English-native-speaking university students. A 2 (inferential vs....
The primary purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to examine science teachers' assessment beliefs and practices in science classrooms. The study also investigated the relationship between teachers' beliefs...
