Forecasting Dropout Trend at King’s College of The Philippines using ARI-MA Modeling

Student drop-outs continue to be one of the perineal problems of educational institutions. Accordingly, institution managers are trying to find ways and means to curb impending issues on drop-outs to satisfy quality education. In this paper, the researcher delved into the different time series modeling methods in order to forecast the rate of college dropouts at King’s College of the Philippines-Benguet. The method considered was the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. The data used in this paper was the number of school dropouts from 2005 to 2018 obtained from the school registrar which shows more dropout during the first semester than the second semester. Initial result obtained from using ARIMA reveals that the best model used is the model ARIMA which is the auto regression (AR 1), then the moving average (MA 1), with first differencing on the second semester.

Impact of Disaster on Underprivileged Children in Covid-19 Pandemic: Policy Response for Emergency Education

It is necessary to recognize and address the differential impact of disasters on society. It is quite possible that a significant number of children to become victims of the COVID-19 caused social disaster. As a result, there would be an increase in the number of school dropouts and child labor, which indicates a substantial number of children will be deprived of their right to education. Any alternative response during school closure, like internet-based remote teaching learning, might not compensate the loss of learning as nearly half of the world is without access to the internet. "Emergency situations" are considered any situation either man-made or natural disasters suddenly disrupt the normal course of life, empathy and educational opportunities of children. The present study intended to find out the nature of social disaster caused by COVID-19 and how it impacted the learning loss and socio-emotional immunity of the under privileged school going children. A narrative review technique was used for this research study to explore the policy advocacies adopted in emergency basis in mitigating the impacts of the ongoing pandemic on such underprivileged children. The data were derived from published articles and reports available in national and international data repositories. The findings reveal that the closure of schools raise the vulnerability of underprivileged children as they are being deprived of their right to education and socio-emotional security. Present pandemic has led adverse situation, therefore disrupted delay or deny the right to education. It is time to rethink to adopt a new policy and mechanism to continue their education and to provide socio-emotional immunity in the time of emergency to address the gravity of crisis.

This calls for the requirement to investigate or evaluate the perceptions of teachers about life skills education in public sector elementary schools. The study was conducted using qualitative interviews from twelve teachers of two public schools where life skill education is being taught. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that teachers are aware and have a positive attitude towards life skills education. This study will contribute to raising awareness.T

Closing the school attendance gap in rural communities in Nigeria: school leadership and multi-actor approach in community engagement

The purpose of this paper is to make a case for school leaders in rural schools in Nigeria to build effective engagements with their communities in improving school attendance rate. The state of rural education in Nigeria has been a concern going by the fact that rural communities have the highest number of school dropouts and illiterate people. No country can make headway with a large army of illiterates and school dropouts because education is regarded as an instrument for national transformation. A good number of rural students do not show commitment towards attendance. While the government is often looked upon to address this issue, there seems to be limited focus on rural schools, especially the role of leadership, in addressing the challenge. Therefore, the paper proposes that rural school leaders should adopt a multi-actor approach in engaging their communities to mobilise both human and material resources in addressing poor student attendance and other school challenges associated with the problem. The paper also proposes an approach or a model of engagement.

Brazil and USA Cross-Cultural Study of Sport as Motivational Factor in Education

In every country, school is considered an essential factor in the development of children, citizens, and the country as a whole. In developing countries such as Brazil, however, the number of school dropouts is very high. In developed countries such as the United States, there is an urgent need for pedagogical improvements. Participants were thirty-four high school students from four different schools, divided into low-income and high-income groups in both countries. The intention of this study is to demonstrate how sport can develop its role to contribute to the promotion of academic motivation under Freirean perspectives.

The devil’s in the details: evidence from the GED on large effects of small differences in high stakes exams

As part of standards-based educational reform efforts, more than 40 states will soon require students to achieve passing scores on standardized exams in order to obtain a high school diploma. Currently, many states are struggling with the design of their examination systems, debating such questions as which subjects should be tested, what should be the minimum passing scores, and what should be the rules regarding options for failing students to retake the exams. In this paper, we use data from a long-standing examination system, the General Educational Development (GED) exams, to illustrate the importance of the answers to these questions to both the number and composition of passers. We show that, among school dropouts in Florida and Texas who attempted the GED examinations, the option of retaking the examination upon initial failure was especially important for dropouts of color, and that the mathematics exam posed the greatest obstacle to females and the writing exam to males. We also show that an increase in the passing standard had a marked short-run impact on the number of school dropouts in Texas who attempted the GED exams, but that the number of test-takers recovered over several years.

Virtual Libraries and Valuable .PDF Downloads

IN THE NOT too distant past, if you wanted to read a document like the Digest of Education Statistics 2001, produced each year by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), you had to go to a library with a government documents depository or order the book from the government. Today, this and many other books, reports, research articles, and other resources are readily available as free downloads on the Internet. And fortunately, many such documents are in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf files), which means they are relatively compact and print exceptionally well. Two of my primary teaching assignments are courses in assessment and in foundations of educational research. The primary focus of the latter is teaching beginning graduate students to be wise consumers of educational research. To accomplish this goal, my students need to read a wide variety of material. With college textbooks running from $75 to $100, I have become intrigued with the idea of assembling enough materials in .pdf form and literally giving students the textbook on a CD-ROM disc that costs only about 30 cents to duplicate. I don't yet have enough material to replace a textbook, but I have found a fantastic array of valuable resources. In this column I will describe some of these resources that I think Kappan readers might be interested in downloading and reading. Speaking of the Digest of Education Statistics 2001, this volume is available at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/majorpub.asp. Chapter 5, Outcomes of Education, contains some fascinating data. I was intrigued, for example, by Table 386 -- Employment of 12th-Graders by Selected Student Characteristics, 1992. Can you guess the number of 12th-graders who during their senior year? If you want to know if the work ethic is alive and well, just download this chapter. NCES has a wealth of other publications, and the URL above lets you easily access them. While we're on the subject of the government, I would be remiss if I did not mention the virtual library maintained by the U.S. Department of Education (ED), which you can access at www.ed.gov/about/pubs.jsp. One of the links on this page is to Educational Research and Practice: Reports and Studies. As an example of what you can find here, if you scroll down this page far enough, you'll find a useful report titled Reducing Class Size: What Do We Know? Before I go further, I should mention that anyone who reads documents produced by ED needs to remember that the secretary and many other top- level posts in ED are appointed. Thus ED reports and research often reflect the political philosophy of the present Administration. For example, there are no less than 10 reports on this page about charter schools. NCES documents are generally considered to be more bias free, but you still have to be careful. Here are two examples. NCES data on the age of school buildings in the U.S. are unreliable since the NCES has a policy that, if any part of the school plant has been remodeled, then the age of the school is adjusted to the last remodeling of any part of it. An old school with a new cafeteria would thus be classified as a new school! A second example of a statistic you need to take care in interpreting is the number of school dropouts. Students who leave high school and complete a GED (General Education Development) certificate by age 22 are not considered dropouts. You'll have to decide for yourself if this is appropriate. A third virtual library maintained by the government is the massive collection. Probably the most useful documents are ERIC digests, which can be accessed at www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/index. The search function on this page doesn't seem to well, so you may have to skim the titles. A friend recently shared an interesting digest with me. This one was titled Loneliness in Young Children. Its identifier number is ED419624. …
