From High Discipline Referrals to High-Engagement Classrooms: A Design-Based Approach to Creating a Campus-Wide Culture of Positive Learning Support for At-Risk Student Populations through Transforming Educators’ Instructional Teaming Practices

Instructional leaders in many school districts throughout the United States are increasingly confronted with spiraling numbers of discipline referrals from teachers who are unable to manage the off-task behaviors and discipline infractions of the growing percentages of diverse, academically at-risk students populating their classrooms. Many of these at-risk students, who come from families that are economically disadvantaged and have culturally rich and linguistically diverse backgrounds, have become stigmatized and minoritized by an education system whose curricula are often woefully inadequate in being able to meet the unique social and academic support needs of these diverse learners. This article profiles how one high school principal and his instructional turnaround leadership task force colleagues working in a high diversity urban school district utilized multi-leveled data analysis investigative thinking and innovative professional learning program design strategies derived from the education improvement science literature to implement a comprehensive intervention program for ninth through twelfth grade teams of core content teachers and their instructional supervisors. The specific goals of the intervention program were to: 1) change educators’ entrenched pedagogical thinking and instructional planning mindsets regarding the motivation levels and learning capabilities of the high discipline referral students who regularly engage in off-task disruptive behaviors in their classrooms; and 2) transform teachers’ instructional data teaming practices to better serve the academic learning support needs of the campus’s minoritized students. The design-based approach to instructional improvement employed in the high school case study leveraged the use of multiple cycles of new knowledge and skills acquisition, critical self-reflection, and immersive professional learning to assist educators in exploring how to engage together in authentic data teaming and data analysis–informed differentiated instructional planning to craft high-engagement classroom learning environments and interactive instructional units to effectively address the academic development and support needs of the campus’s diverse, at-risk learners.

Behaviors and attitudes concerning disposable masks and the environment: A D.C. high school case study

Disposable masks became increasingly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in their ubiquity in the environment. Looking back at the pandemic reveals how disposable masks that end up in our environment consistently and negatively impacted species’ health. Disposable masks shed microplastics, a microscopic form of synthetic material that can contain heavy metals and other hazardous chemicals, including endocrine disruptors, which have negative impacts on the health of humans and other species in the environment. This study explores the trends in disposable mask litter in the Northwest Washington, D.C. area, and behaviors and individual approaches to handling the disposal of masks by high school students. We conducted a study of mask litter in the Northwest D.C. area via a qualitative survey of D.C. high school students and a quantitative survey of mask usage among students. Additionally, we collected data on disposable mask litter in Northwest D.C. to quantify abundance in the region. Disposable masks found in the study area may contribute to some adverse ecological effects in the local community. This study contributes to the knowledge of mask litter, specifically on the mask disposal habits of an urban high school student body during the pandemic. We hypothesized that disposable mask litter resulted from individual actions due to a lack of awareness about environmental pollution. Our results showed that individual actions did play a large role in generating disposable mask litter. We aim to bring awareness of improper mask disposal and the associated environmental pollution to the forefront of students and residents of the D.C. area.

Understanding gender disproportion and influences on subject choice in Physical Health Education: a British Columbia high school case study

ABSTRACT The aim of this qualitative case study is to examine the phenomenon of female students’ disproportionate representation in senior level Physical Health Education (PHE) classes. The subject for this teacher’s Masters level project arose from the first author’s personal observations while teaching across several schools in British Columbia, Canada. Through semi-structured interviews with self-identified female participants, we explore female subject choice and if, along with possible reasons why, females may avoid participation in senior level (grade 11-12) mixed gender PHE activity courses. This discussion asserts that females mostly make conscious choices to avoid mixed gender courses at the senior level for several key reasons; females feel silenced by their male peers, PHE is not an inclusive environment, and females perceive their male counterparts assert dominance over them in PHE class. This paper continues with a discussion regarding reinforced gendered norms and their effect on perceived barriers to female participation in schools, and concludes with suggestions for how schools and educators might support female students’ participation.

Évaluation de l'efficacité pédagogique d'un jeu d’évasion au lycée

Ces dernières années, les jeux d’évasion ont suscité un grand intérêt de la part des enseignants. Nombreux sont les jeux à être utilisés à des fins pédagogiques, mais peu d’études existent pour évaluer leur apport réel. A cette fin, nous avons mis en place une expérimentation pour évaluer l’acquisition de connaissances en SVT par des élèves de lycée (2de). Notre groupe de test (71 élèves) a utilisé un jeu d’évasion pour découvrir des notions nouvelles. Le groupe de contrôle (71 élèves aussi) a quant à lui découvert ces mêmes notions par le biais d’une approche pédagogique traditionnelle. Suite à cette expérimentation, nous avons observé une acquisition significative de connaissances de la part des élèves, y compris sur un temps long. Mais cet apprentissage est comparable en efficacité pour les deux groupes. Cependant, si le jeu d’évasion ne s’est pas distingué sur l’acquisition brute de connaissances, il a beaucoup joué sur la qualité de l’expérience d'apprentissage.

The Effect of Information System User Satisfaction on Individual Performance (High School Case Study)

Evaluation that can be used to assess system performance is performance evaluation based on user perceptions. Users in this system include End Users, namely computer operators from all units, and people who use the output of this system (including management and leadership), namely individuals involved with this system. Evaluation of the system according to user perceptions is very important, because they are the ones who should feel the needs and benefits of the system. Perception is a cognitive process experienced by everyone in understanding information about their environment, either through visions, feelings and experiences. To assess whether the applied information system is running as planned, a measurement is needed. This research uses the PIECES method (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Services) to be able to answer problems. PIECES is a tool in analyzing computer-based information systems, which consists of important points that are useful as guidelines / references in analyzing the system

A Critique of the Democratic Functionality of the School Disciplinary Committee Structures within a South African Rural Setting

The South Africans Schools Act mandates institutional policy duty bearers such as the school governing bodies (SGBs) and school disciplinary committees (SDCs) through which education stakeholders such as school principals, teachers, parents and learners to democratically formulate and implement school policies. The effectiveness of these bodies in carrying out their responsibilities in most cases is left to speculation. Based on a case study of high schools in a rural district setting in South Africa, this paper reports on the extent to which SDCs are democratically constituted and function in conducting their responsibilities. A qualitative approach was employed to gather data from a purposeful sample of 53 participants at two secondary schools that comprised 10 SGB members, 10 school management team (SMT) members, 9 SDC members, 10 Representative Council of Learners (RCL), 4 class teachers and 10 previously disciplined learners (PDLs). Focus group and individual interviews were the primary data gathering instruments but were complemented by document analysis to cross-check participants’ narratives where necessary. Results indicated that the discharge of the SDC responsibilities was largely undemocratic in both composition and functioning, and therefore unjust in disciplining learners who acted outside school rules. On the basis of our findings, we recommend that the policy duty bearers in school institutional management structures such as the SMT, SGB, RCL and SDC should first be inducted on school policies, roles and responsibilities on assumption of duty.

Enhancing English-Learning Performance through a Simulation Classroom for EFL Students Using Augmented Reality—A Junior High School Case Study

In non-English-speaking countries, students learning EFL (English as a Foreign Language) without a “real” learning environment mostly shows poor English-learning performance. In order to improve the English-learning effectiveness of EFL students, we propose the use of augmented reality (AR) to support situational classroom learning and conduct teaching experiments for situational English learning. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the learning performance of EFL students can be enhanced using augmented reality within a situational context. The learning performance of the experimental student group is validated by means of the attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) model. According to statistical analysis, the experimental teaching method is much more effective than that of the control group (i.e., the traditional teaching method). The learning performance of the experimental group students is obviously enhanced and the feedback of using AR by EFL students is positive. The experimental results reveal that (1) students can concentrate more on the practice of speaking English as a foreign language; (2) the real-life AR scenarios enhanced student confidence in learning English; and (3) applying AR teaching materials in situational context classes can provide near real-life scenarios and improve the learning satisfaction of students.

Methods: The present study was conducted by a correlational method, which was of prediction type. Among 5,630 teachers of smart high schools in Karaj city in the 2018 - 2019 school year, 400 teachers were selected by multistage random cluster sampling method. Organizational culture was measured by Denison’s organizational culture questionnaire (2000). For assessing the acceptance of technology among teachers, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The questionnaire’s construct validity was confirmed by the confirmatory factor analysis method. The reliability was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha of 0.86, 0.74, 0.88, 0.73, and 0.81 for the dimensions of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, intention to use, and actual use, respectively. The data were analyzed by structural equation modeling in AMOS V. 24 software. Results: All the direct and indirect coefficients between the research variables were statistically significant (P < 0.01). This means that organizational culture was effective on acceptance of technology among teachers of smart schools and the recommended conceptual model among teachers of smart schools was valid. Conclusions: The process of the effect of organizational culture on the acceptance of technology and the relationship between the components of the TAM were discussed. Based on the results, all the direct and indirect coefficients between the research variables were statistically significant (P < 0.01), that is, organizational culture was effective on acceptance of technology among smart school teachers, and the proposed conceptual model was reliable among teachers of smart schools.

Assessing sustainability performance in the educational sector. A high school case study.

This paper provides a detailed assessment of the environmental performance of a High school student in the city of Madrid, as well as the associated external costs. Life Cycle Assessment was used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts. Environmental external costs were also estimated using a simplified application of the impact pathway approach. The inventory of environmental loads included the consumption of resources in the school building operation and maintenance (O&M) activities, in the educational activities and in the transport activities. The activity of one student in one school year is the functional unit. The results showed that the emissions contributing to Climate Change are quantified in 461 kg CO2 eq·year-1·student-1, being the transport responsible for the 69% of the total impact, the O&M of the school building for the 20% and the educational activities for the remaining 11%. According to the results, the O&M of the facilities is the largest contributor to ozone depletion and water resource depletion. The educational activity is the main contributor to human toxicity, freshwater eutrophication and ecotoxicity, land use and resource depletion. Transport activities are responsible for most of the impacts related to the exposure to particular matter, ionizing radiation, and those impacts related to photochemical ozone formation, acidification, and terrestrial and marine eutrophication. Furthermore, the quantification of the external costs showed that these costs could reach a value of 34 euro·year-1·student-1 being transport the main contributor with a 52% of the external costs.

The data used to determine the factors that influence students' interest in Higher Education to Open University (Case Study of State and Private High Schools in Jambi Province) using SPSS 18 software. The analysis was conducted to determine the number of respondents in this study. Respondents used were parents, parents of students, parents, parents, parents, residence of students, teachers, college people, driving factors, and report card grades. Logistic regression analysis uses explanatory variables that can be categorical variables or numerical variables that aim to identify the probability of occurrence of variable response categories (Firdaus, Rahmini, Farid, 2011). Hosmer, David W. and Lemeshow, Stanley (2000) show that the vector x '= (x1, x2, ..., xp) denotes as many variables as possible. P (Y = 1 x) = π (x) is a chance that the non-independent variable states the event (y = 1).

Photovoice as Micro-Invitation: A Case Study of High School Im/migrant Youth Disrupting Everyday Forms of Racism

Racial microaggressions describe how People of Color experience daily racial assaults in seemingly minor, but nonetheless insidious ways. The photovoice project highlighted here demonstrates the varied ways in which im/migrant high school students in one community challenged everyday microaggressions by making clear how they wanted fellow students, teachers, and other members of society to acknowledge, respond, and interrupt racist discourses. We introduce the concept of micro-invitations to describe strategic efforts to build collective forms of resistance. We argue that micro-invitations, as a both a theoretical and pedagogical intervention, helps us better understand how marginalized youth, in this case im/migrant youth, resist dominant understandings of who they are and invite others to mediate and dismantle everyday forms of racism.

A Descriptive Study to Assess the Level of Internet Addiction among Adolescents: A Case Study of High Schools in Mangalore

Adolescents are more vulnerable to internet addiction (IA) as they have less ability to control their enthusiasm for internet activities. In this study, a descriptive approach was used to assess the level of IA and its impact among high school students. A conceptual framework was based on Roy’s Adaptation Model. The tool consisted of a baseline proforma, a modified form of IA test and a structured questionnaire developed during the study. Those tools were employed to assess the level of IA and its impact among adolescents of English medium high schools. Opinions from fourteen experts were used to modify the tools for the validity. The reliability of the tool was determined by using a split half technique. The reliability was measured by Karl Pearson’s coefficient correlation and was found to be reliable. The study revealed that majority (70.5%) of the adolescents were normal users, 23% had a mild addiction, 6% had a moderate addiction and 0.5% had a severe addiction. The majority (73%) of samples had a mild impact, 16.5% had a moderate impact, and 10.5% had no impact. Some of their demographic variables like age, class, and occupation of fathers have significant associations with both IA and impact of IA.
