• Field dependence and the school achievement gap between Anglo-American and Mexican-American children

  1/1/75 - Kagan, Spencer, Zahn, G. Lawrence

  Research supports the hypothesis that field dependence explains the poorer school achievement of Mexican-American children compared to Anglo-American children. To test that hypothesis, multiple regression and path analyses were used to interpret the relationships between culture, field dependence, and school achievement among 134 2nd-, 4th-, and 6th-grade Anglo-American and Mexican-American children. Results indicate that Mexican-Americans were significantly below Anglo-Americans in reading...

• Gender differences in academic achievement and the educational implications

  1/1/00 - Cheng, Gang, Xie, Guiyang

  Part of a special issue on women's education and employment in China. A study investigated gender difference among college students in China. Data were obtained from international research and a survey of three universities in the Wuhan region of China. The results indicate that female students' motivation to study rose significantly because they attributed their success to the positive factor of effort but they still underestimated their own ability, that female students have made some...

  Historic reversals, accelerating resegregation, and the need for new integration strategies

  1/3/09 - Gary Orfield, Chungmei Lee

  "This new report released by The Civil Rights Project at UCLA finds that for the first time in three decades, the South is in danger of losing its leadership as the nation's most integrated schools. The report examines the effects of the dual processes of racial transformation and resegregation on the educational opportunity of students, as well as the relationship between race and poverty and its implications in light of the recent Supreme Court decisions. The report concludes with...

  How early intervening transforms practice: equity as an education imperative

  1/6/09 - Elizabeth B. Kozleski, Amanda L. Sullivan, Kathleen A. King

  This presentation explores a framework for the design and implementation of early intervening services, translates these perspectives into classroom practices, program evaluation, and models for continuous improvement and examines the implications for school psychologists.

• How Large an Effect Can We Expect from School Reforms?

  1/1/08 - Konstantopoulos, Spyros, Hedges, Larry V.

  Background/Context: Determining the effectiveness of reform strategies is a major part of the current and future educational research agenda. Effects of education reforms will be evaluated largely quantitatively, and an important aspect of this work will be judging how well reform strategies work. The rhetoric of contemporary school reform suggests two somewhat different solutions to the problem of the interpretive frame. One solution is derived from the idea that the goal of school reform...

• Identity, Belonging, and Achievement: A Model, Interventions, Implications

  1/1/08 - Cohen, Geoffrey L., Garcia, Julio

  In this article we discuss how social or group identities affect achievement. We also present a model of identity engagement that describes how a salient social identity can trigger psychological threat and belonging concerns and how these can produce persistent performance decrements, which through feedback loops can increase over time. The character of such processes may be revealed only over time because they are recursive in nature and interact with other factors in chronically...

• INCREASING PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AMONG ADOLESCENT AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES

  1/1/07 - Martin, Don, Martin, Magy, Gibson, Suzanne Semivan, Wilkins, Jonathan

  African American adolescents disproportionately perform poorly compared to peers in both behavioral and academic aspects of their educational experience. In this study, African American male students participated in an after-school program involving tutoring, group counseling, and various enrichment activities. All students were assessed regarding their behavioral changes using attendance, discipline referrals, suspensions, and expulsions reports. The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT...

• Inside/outside: Teacher research and knowledge

  1/1/93 - Cochran-Smith, M., Lytle, S., Cochran-Smith, M., Lytle, S.

  The central concern of this book is the assumption that pedagogical knowledge is generated "outside-in"; that is, from the university, to be applied at schools. The first half of this book provides a thoughtful and thought-provoking conceptual framework for reading and understanding teacher research, exploring its history, potential, and relationship to university-based research. Cochran-Smith and Lytle argue that teacher research can transform, not simply add to, the present knowledge...

  Interventions for adolescent struggling readers: A meta-analysis with implications for practice

  1/10/09 - Scammacca, N., Roberts, G., Vaughn. S. , Edmonds, M. , Wexler, J., Reutebuch, C. K., Torgesen, J. K.

  This 2007 brief is a meta-analysis of thirty-one studies on interventions targeting adolescents struggling with reading. Specifically, it looks at how effective interventions are for struggling adolescent readers, what the specific impact of reading interventions are on reading comprehension, and what specific impact reading interventions have for students with learning disabilities. The analysis further categories study findings depending on the type of reading intervention, the grade...

• Lasting Consequences of the Summer Learning Gap

  1/1/07 - Alexander, Karl L., Entwisle, Doris R., Olson, Linda Steffel

  Prior research has demonstrated that summer learning rooted in family and community influences widens the achievement gap across social lines, while schooling offsets those family and community influences. In this article, we examine the long-term educational consequences of summer learning differences by family socioeconomic level. Using data from the Baltimore Beginning School Study youth panel, we decompose achievement scores at the start of high school into their developmental...

• Latino adolescents' civic development in the United States: Research results from the IEA civic education study

  1/1/07 - Torney-Purta, Judith, Barber, Carolyn H., Wilkenfeld, Britt

  Many studies have reported gaps between Latino and non-Latino adolescents in academic and political outcomes. The current study presents possible explanations for such gaps, both at the individual and school level. Hierarchical linear modeling is employed to examine data from 2,811 American ninth graders (approximately 14 years of age) who had participated in the IEA Civic Education study. Analyses of large data bases enable the consideration of individual characteristics and experiences, as...
