Significant Difference In Students Research Articles

글의 길이와 내용, 학생 상하 수준에 따른 고등학생의 문장 중요도 평정 차이

Purpose: This study analyzed differences in high school students’ rating of sentence importance depending on text length, content, and the students’ proficiency level(upper and lower), aiming to improve the teaching and the learning of reading. Methods: A test was conducted with 173 high school students in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam province. Based on the test, an analysis was performed to examine how text length and content affect the rating of importance. Additionally, participants were divided into two groups based on their proficiency levels in rating sentence importance — upper and lower — and the effects of variables within each group were analyzed. Results: First, text length revealed a statistically significant difference in students’ importance rating scores. Second, concerning content, no statistically significant difference was observed in the scores. Third, dividing participants into upper and lower proficiency groups based on the mean score showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Fourth, regarding text length, students in the upper group exhibited a superior ability to rate sentence importance in shorter passages compared to longer ones, and this difference was statistically significant. In contrast, for the lower group, no statistically significant difference was observed depending on the text length. Consequently, it was determined that students in the lower group face challenges in rating sentence importance regardless of text length. Fifth, concerning content, no statistically significant differences were observed in importance rating abilities for both upper and lower groups. Nevertheless, upon calculating effect sizes, it was discerned that students in both groups exhibited comparatively higher abilities in passages related to humanities than those related to the Natural Sciences. Conclusion: Students’ proficiency in rating sentence importance varied depending on the length of the text, while no significant difference was observed concerning the content. The upper and lower groups showed a great disparity in proficiency, and the variables that caused statistically significant differences varied depending on the proficiency level. These findings show that it is important to adjust the length and content of texts to match students’ proficiency levels when teaching reading strategies such as sentence importance rating. Furthermore, the introduction of sentence importance rating method, which visually illustrates the reading process, into teaching and learning can contribute to enhancing students’ reading abilities.

Adolescent Students’ Psychological Needs and Educational Outcomes in School: A Latent Profile Analysis

Based on self-determination theory and taking a person-centered approach, we aimed to investigate latent profiles regarding middle school students’ satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs. We also compared student profiles with respect to academic functioning and personal characteristics. Results based on a sample of 838 Chinese middle school students revealed that need satisfaction and need frustration were two distinguishable constructs. Latent profile analyses further identified four profiles: slightly low all, high satisfaction/high frustration, low satisfaction/moderate frustration, and high satisfaction/low frustration. Moreover, there were significant differences in students’ academic functioning among the four latent profiles. In particular, students with high need frustration were most likely to experience maladaptive academic functioning, regardless of their need satisfaction level. These four profiles also demonstrated meaningful associations with other student characteristics. Specifically, girls were less likely to be assigned to the high satisfaction/low frustration profile than to the low satisfaction/moderate frustration profile. Students’ socioeconomic status was not related to profile membership. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering within-person patterns of both need satisfaction and need frustration in order to more fully capture the factors that affect students’ academic functioning in school.

More is not always better: Profiles of perceived frequency of parental involvement among Chinese students and associations with resilience and academic achievement

This study adopted a person-centered approach to explore heterogeneous patterns of home-based parental involvement frequency among elementary, middle, and high school students, and examined how such patterns were associated with resilience and academic achievement. The sample comprised 105,641 Chinese students, with analyses conducted using latent profile analyses (LPAs) and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results revealed consistent profile emergence across all cohorts- four profiles distinctly described the students' perceived patterns of parental involvement. These encompassed three universally identified profiles: “low involvement in life and study,” “moderate involvement in life and study,” and “high involvement in life but low in study.” For the 8th and 11th graders, the fourth profile was denoted as “high involvement in life and study,” while for 4th graders, it was termed “moderate involvement in life but moderately low in study.” MANCOVA results revealed statistically significant differences in students' resilience and academic achievement across profiles after controlling students' gender and family socioeconomic status (SES). The findings of this research highlight that parents' more frequent involvement in students' everyday lives, coupled with less frequent involvement in their study matters, may effectively foster academic success and enhance the development of resilient traits. Educational relevance statementThis study sheds light on the impact of diverse frequency of parental involvement profiles on the academic achievement and resilience of Chinese students across different grade levels. The findings highlight students who perceive their parents as a ‘high involvement in life but low in study’ are associated with greater academic achievement and resilience. These insights emphasized the need for teachers, parents, and policymakers to consider the nature, frequency, and domains of parental involvement, offering significant implications for teaching strategies, parenting practices, and educational policy development, particularly in the Chinese context.

The impact of simulation-based training on medical students' whole blood transfusion abilities.

Whole blood transfusion has been found to increase the likelihood of patient survival within both military and civilian medicine contexts. However, no whole blood transfusion training curriculum currently exists within undergraduate or graduate medical education in the United States. The purpose of our study was to: (1) determine the impact of simulation-based training on medical students' abilities to conduct whole blood transfusions; and (2) determine the impact of simulation-based training on medical students' confidence in conducting whole blood transfusions. We assessed 157 third-year military medical students' ability to conduct whole blood transfusion before and after Operation Gunpowder, a 2-day high-fidelity prolonged casualty care simulation. We conducted a paired samples t-test to compare the students' pre- and post-simulation performance scores as well as self-reported confidence and stress ratings. There was a significant difference in students' scores at the beginning of the course (M = 20.469, SD 6.40675) compared to their scores at the end of the course (M = 30.361, SD = 2.10053); t(155) = -18.833, p < .001. The effect size for this analysis (d = 6.56) was large. There was a significant difference (p < .001) between the pre- and post-ratings for all self-reported confidence and stress survey items. Our results suggest that simulation-based training is an effective means of training medical students to conduct whole blood transfusiontraining in a limited resource simulated environment where blood inventories may be limited.
