EDUC 220: RB #2

Megan Hester

I would say that the main research question of this study is whether cyberbullying exists in post secondary education institutions. And if it does what the long and short term effects are on student success.

In this study 148 undergraduate students were surveyed. Majority were female and between the ages of 19-23.

An email survey was sent out to undergraduate students. The survey was volunteer based but also semi structured interviews were conducted with these participants.

The study found that cyberbullying does exist in higher education. With that being said the research showed that cyberbullying has a negative emotional effect on these students which impacts the overall well being of students.

1. The study's main purpose is to determine whether ELD instruction impacts students’ reading achievement based on Curriculum standards.

2. In this study, the participants are 434 English Language learners from the same k-12 school. These students are all in 3rd or 4th grade.

3. The Reading test scores for Reading Curriculum Based Measurement (RCBM) and the Reading MAZE were collected from the school district and examined. The study organizes the participants into 5 different groups. There were 2 groups per grade, and each one represented how many years of ELD instruction the students received, 1 or 2. The Last group was a combination of 3rd graders with 1 year of ELD instruction and 4th graders with 2 years of instruction.

4. The study showed that overall, the reading achievement did not improve very much with the ELD instruction. This suggests that the 30 min given to students is not enough and that there needs to be more time for ELD instruction for it to be effective.

1. The study's main hypothesis explores how African American students with disabilities can still achieve academic success despite their challenges. The research aims to identify the facts that contribute to their success.

2. The study involves African American students with disabilities.

3. Data was collected through interviews and surveys. They focused on their academic experiences and the strategies they use.

4. The study found that the students were able to develop strong self-advocacy skills and use effective coping strategies to navigate educational barriers. By receiving support from teachers and families they can achieve academic success.

1. The main point of study is how beneficial are wilderness behavioral programs. How ethical are they and how safe are they really.

2. They study of participant were adolescents that participated in the program. Didn't specify gender, but main focus was mostly on teens.

3. Some of the different sources they used to collect data was the Accountability Office (GAO) of Congress, the U.S. Government. Another was a co-author from Journal Youth, Harper.

4. What the study found is that wilderness behavioral programs cause more harm than good. That these programs put adolescents in danger and give them even more trauma than when they originally came in. Programs like strip them of their identity and have multiple cases of kids dying for various reasons as well.

1.The main question and hypothesis of the study is if parents are involved in tutoring over the summer will that benefit students with Dyslexia. The hypothesis was that the students selected to receive tutoring will improve their reading and writing abilities way more than if the parents didn’t get involved.

2. The study was done on three 9 year old girls and two of them were caucasian and one girl was biracial. All three girls had learning disabilities. One girl also had ADHD in addition to a reading disability.

3. The data was collected by having the students take tests on their reading levels before and after the parents tutored during the summer between 3rd and 4th grade reading level.

4.The study found they had improved by 20% of the measurement used.

1) The main purpose of my article was to study the effects of IQ on the educational performance of children, among several other things.

2)The study had 2229 participants who were split into five education levels and were from the ages of 14-26.

3)The data was collected voluntarily by several Dutch schools who provided information on IQ and education levels for the 2229 students that initially participated in the study. Educational levels were determined by cognitive tests run by the Dutch education system over several intervals.

4)The study found that "male gender, non-Dutch ethnicity, lower educational level,

IQ, and parental SES were associated with dropout and Higher externalizing behavior also predicting dropout." along with lower IQs being correlated with lower educational levels

Megan Erickson

1. The study's primary research question was whether educators were well-informed and equipped to assist dyslexic students.

2. The study's participants were 706 educators from New Jersey, almost all female and between the ages of 25 and 54.

3. The data was collected through surveys regarding dyslexia questions, which questioned their knowledge of dyslexia.

4. Surprisingly, most of the questions were answered correctly by participants. However, only 12% of participants felt prepared for students with learning disabilities when they finished their undergrad.

The Effect of E-Learning and Student's Digital Literacy towards their Learning Outcomes

1) The main research question of this study is what are the learning outcomes of E-Learning and student's digital literacy compared to those using a conventional method?

2) The study's participants included 384 eleventh grade students from a vocational school in East Java, Indonesia, with only 96 being selected as research samples. Students were chosen at random to be samples.

3) The data was determined by variables of e-learning, student's digital literacy, and student's learning results. Students were divided into four group regarding control groups and experimental groups where they were taught in different methods of learning.

4) The findings of the study were that in the experimental groups, students with high digital literacy scored higher than those with low digital literacy and in the control groups, students scored closer to the same. Therefore, the learning outcomes are different for students depending if they were taught using e-learning or the conventional method.

Introduction:

The study is looking into how the death of a parent on children can raise the risk of the child developing a psychiatric disorder. Also looks into children who are experiencing complicated grief and how to assess them.

Methods:

Study conducted of 127 children who lost their parents before the age of 18 and 166 children who did not lose a parent

Research:

-demographic questionnaire

-brief symptom inventory: assessed nine symptoms including anxiety and depression

- perceived vulnerability scale: allows researcher to view perceived future thoughts of the subject based on certain events

- Multidimensional scale of perceived social support: used to assess social support

Results:

results showed that if a child loses a parent they will likely be in serious psychological and social distress compared to other children which can lead to complicated grief as well. Also children who were not supported from the early stages were more likely to develop emotional and behavioral problems that can ultimately lead to the development of psychiatric disorders.

Introduction:

1.Examining the impact that burnout has on education in traditional and Montessori school settings.

Methods/Procedures:

2. 82 Teachers from the U.S. who taught in public elementary schools, grades 4 through 6.

3. Researchers used the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey, Teaching Autonomy Scale, and the Multi Factor Leadership Questionnaire. All of these surveys gave researchers the ability to measure educators teaching autonomy.

Results:

4. Results from the surveys showed that Traditional public schools teachers experienced higher levels of emotional exhaustion and lower levels of teaching autonomy as well as transformable leadership.

Introduction

1) The main research question being asked is if mobile technology has a place in the classroom, and if it can further academic success.

Methods/Procedures

2) Study focuses on 15 college aged students. They all volunteered to be interviewed and an email was sent out to students inviting them to participate.

3) All data was collected through one on one interviews with the students. Once all students were interviewed, the researchers studied the answers and found common themes between answers.

Results

4) The study found that most of these students grew up without the use of technology in the classroom and so they do not see the need for it (their past teachers scolded the use of it in class). They do however agree that mobile technology is a good tool for other aspects of daily life. The researchers concluded that in the future when technology is more incorporated into the classroom (and teachers encourage its use), students will see the benefits of it.

1) The main research question of the study is are smaller class sizes better for students with special needs.

2)They did some quantitative research and some were qualitative. Then there was another category where they studied both.

3)They would look at different classes and their effectiveness of the teachings in the class sizes.

4) The study found that the impact of small class sizes in special education is under-researched both within the quantitative and the qualitative literature

1. What kinds of practices, including CR- SRL practices, did elementary school teachers enact to support all learners in a culturally diverse classroom; and (2) What observed practices could be associated with student engagement?

2. 22 kids in general 6 are being involved 2 boys 4 girls of diverse background and one female teacher

3. examine the engagement of six students in considerable depth by coordinating multiple sources of data including:classroom observations and associated field notes; documents student work samples students’ self-reports about engagement using an Experience Sampling and Reflection Form and a survey, that is Student Engagement Instrument and interviews with teachers.

4. Most of the students judged the task to be very important and interesting when there were opportunities to connect with family, friends and favourite topics.

Melanie Osornio:

1) The main research question of this article is how different educational models impact the mental health of K-12 students. Also emphasizing the different relationships in a classroom setting between various school structures or teaching approaches that have effects on students' mental well-being in k-12.

2) Some of the participants in this study include obviously participants from K-12 through different educational settings. Also there data that provides reasoning from different school bases like traditional schools, alternative schools and online learning across different demographics. All these findings tend to sum up the mental health outcomes of these students who are influenced by the educational models in which they are part of.

3) Some main points of data came from a pre-defined extracted data sheet which included studies within information from studies in

 in background, sample

characteristics (number of participants, ages of participants, and sex proportion), design. There was also intervention studies

 with weeks of intervention and data all reviewed from extractions sheets.

4) The study found that developing multi-component school strategies

for promotion in student mental health still creates a major challenge ins schools. It's helped to establish different education models to target the combat of negative effects within the mental health in the K-12 school context among different students and their different societies.

1) The main research questions/ hypotheses were 1. Are collective teacher efficacy and STR (student-teacher relationships) related to student hope? Both these factors would be positively related to hope.

AND 2. Do STR moderate the relation between collective teacher efficacy and hope? STR would moderate the relation between collective teacher efficacy and hope.

2) Students from a southwestern U.S. school district ranged from 5th to 8th grade. Their response rate, gender, race, and economic standing were taken into account.

The teachers were 88% female from different ethnic backgrounds, as well as having a range of further education (41% having a Bachelors, 59% with a master's degree).

3) Description of how the data was collected (e.g., interviews, surveys)

- Collective Teacher Efficacy Scale

- Teacher-student Relationship subscale of the Student Engagement Instrument: measures a student's connection/ relationships with their teacher(s).

- Children's Hope Scale: measures feelings of agency and pathways thinking.

- Student data was collected through an online survey. They could skip any questions they were uncomfortable answering and could even skip participating in the study. Teachers needed to provide consent and voluntarily complete the survey.

4) What did the study find (relate back to the research question)?

-

 1. The main research question of the study is how to make and implement school based mental health services.

2. The Dallas Public schools were the first to benefit from these mental health services. There were 160,000 students in the district 50% male and 50% female. The 36,000 high school, 23,300 middle school, 100,700 elementary. 39% of the students were at risk of dropping out.

3. The data was collected by watching how students were doing after going through the 7 step process with the mental health slices in school. Looking at absences, grades, disciplinary referrals, etc.

Methods/Procedures

2) Description of the study's participants (e.g., age, gender)- how many and other important identifiers

3) Description of how the data was collected (e.g., interviews, surveys)

Results

4) What did the study find (relate back to the research question)?

Thesis: The study found that the undocumented immigrants had increase risk for a variety of mental health problems, especially depression, anxiety, and self-isolation.

This was conducted through an in-depth ethnographic semi-structured interview to a 30 year old individual. a group of 3 researchers and 3 community conducted this and asked questions surrounding daily activities, hobbies, feelings of living here, etc. They found that instability, underlying day-to-day feeling of fear, rejection of social services, and discrimination all impact children's feelings of clinical depression, anxiety, and self-isolation. They also referenced other studies and surveys.

They found reports of social isolation and depression as direct consequence of immigration status. there is an overarching theme of fear which prevents parents from reporting crimes, maintaining a stable address, or accessing health care or financial aid. This results in depressing and leads to language deficits, developmental delays, social aggression, and poor academic performance. Parents often work low income jobs and can’t afford books, toys, or time with their family which negatively affects child’s development.

Discrimination and social isolation also increase chance of depression

Bella Hernandez:

1. The study investigates how the No Child Left Behind Act (2001) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (2004) affect curriculum and instruction for students with disabilities in general education classrooms, focusing on their access to the general curriculum and whether participation in a standards-based curriculum enhances academic achievement.

2. The study is not based on empirical research with human participants but rather an analysis of federal policies and their implications.

3. Historical federal legislation and its evolution.

Theoretical and empirical research on educational outcomes for students with disabilities.

Government reports and educational assessments to examine the effectiveness of these policies.

4. In summary, the study critically examines the federal role in education reform and raises essential questions about whether current policies genuinely improve learning outcomes for students with disabilities or merely create additional bureaucratic accountability measures.

Jazleen Tapia-

1)The main research question of this study in my own words is: Is there an impact of inclusive education on the educational outcomes of students with Special Educational Needs? (in this case in Peru).

Methods/Procedures

- In this study, they use three datasets that are collected by the Peruvian Ministry of Education (MINEDU).

- test scores of 2nd grade students in primary and secondary.

3) They collected date by examining students attending primary schools in two periods, 2007 and 2011, without including types of Special Education Needs (SEN). In contrast, they studied children attending primary and secondary schools using cross-section data between 2011 and

2019 and disaggregate analysis by types of SEN.

Results

4)This study found that Inclusive strategies in regular classrooms are undeniably crucial, but without appropriate adaptations and a comprehensive

understanding by all involved, inclusive education can pose considerable challenges for the entire educational community, including non-SEN students.

(not sure if I want to for sure use this article).

Introduction

1) Based on the students' perspectives...Is having cellphones in classrooms beneficial for students?

Methods/Procedures

2) College students: male & females, ages18-45

3) Surveys were done in classrooms to collect data.

Results

4) Based on the study, they found that students did feel like they would get distracted by having their phones in the classrooms. However, most students agreed that having cell phones in classrooms should not be banned because they find it beneficial for assignments, learning purposes, etc.

Daisy Jimenez- "Social media addiction: associations with attachment style, mental distress, and personality"

The main hypothesis on this study is how does social media affect the mental capacity of an adolescent and what specific attachment style is connected to social media.

Data collected from 571 female and male college students via online survey to see if they are addicted to social media.

In conclusion, based on the results it was seen that many are addicted to social media and how they are developed.

Jessica Zecua

Introduction

1)The main research question of the study is “What are the perceptions of teachers and students on educators' actions after a series of professional development workshops on early childhood trauma and how do their perceptions differ?

Methods and procedures

2) Participants were 5 teachers and 10 students, two students of each teacher, from a public school. 9 of the students were black and one was hispanic. 6 students were 5th graders, 2 students were 7th graders, and 2 were 8th graders. 4 of the teachers were white and 1 was black. All of the teachers were female.

3) This was a qualitative study in which the data was collected by interviewing both teachers and students.

Results

4) The study found that students seem to have a more positive perspective of their own actions compared to the teacher's more negative view.

4) What did the study find (relate back to the research question)?

- 4% of hope variance attributed to teacher differences

- STR indicated that students who were more connected to teachers reported higher hope

- relation btw. collective teacher efficacy and hope varied by STR

- having a positive relation btw. collective teacher efficacy and student hope strengthened when STR increased

1) This study aims to find the relationship between social media user types (at age 13), and the outcomes of this one year later based on anxiety levels, depression levels, overall well-being, etc (at age 14).

2) 19 schools in south-west England participated in an online survey that was emailed to them. The first time around, there were 2549 participants, and a year later, only 1459 followed up.

3) The study did find a positive relationship between social media usage and poor mental health. So the more they used social media when they were 13, the more effect it had on their well-being in a negative way.
