Approach And Avoidance Coping Humor Motives and Their Relation To Trauma Exposure And Physical Health
Get PDFThe present study investigated approach-avoidance motives for humor use and their association with physical health symptoms linked to childhood trauma exposure and adult relationship trauma exposure among military-affiliated people and civilians (N=100). Results indicated that approach-avoidance motives for humor use were not associated with study variables. However, adult relationship trauma exposure had a significant positive association with physical health symptoms among both groups. In addition, childhood trauma exposure was significantly positively associated with adult relationship trauma exposure
Fort Montego Memorial
No full textThe place we have decided on is Montego Bay, Jamaica. More specifically, Fort Montego. This was originally a British fort during the early 1800s. With this site, we can turn around its European meaning and make it known who was really important to remember for their heritage. In Montego Bay, it had the most enslaved people embarked/disembarked, as well as the majority of them were in the Caribbean in general.https://csuepress.columbusstate.edu/historyfrombelow/1023/thumbnail.jp
The Relationship Between School Climate and Student Achievement at the Middle School Level in Georgia
Get PDFSchool leaders from all over our nation are under scrutiny and pressure to raise their students’ academic achievement. Good standards-based classroom teaching, supportive teachers, administrators, and parents, and a motivated student all make for a high achieving student. But what is the relationship of the school’s climate to the achievement level? Does the student’s socioeconomic status affect academic achievement? This study collected data from 431 traditional public middle schools in the state of Georgia serving students in Grade 6 through Grade 8 exclusively during the 2017-18 school year. A stepwise multiple regression was used to examine the relationships in both research questions. The stepwise process allowed for the researcher to increase accuracy of results by prioritizing predicting variables of Free/Reduced rate, Climate score, and Administrator Attendance entered by correlation rate with the outcome variables of Mathematics Mean Scale Score and English/Language Arts Mean Scale Score. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of school climate and student achievement at the middle school level in Georgia. A quantitative predictive research design was used to measure the relationship between the variables. A multiple regression analysis in this study will provide information for school principals as to the significance of the relationship and of the climate of the school on student achievement. The results of the study will be a valuable resource for Georgia school leaders who must respond to the demands for increased student achievement while attracting and retaining teachers. If school climate has a significant impact on student achievement, then Georgia school leaders may develop plans to improve school climate (Fuller, Young, & Baker, 2010) and simultaneously create and sustain high-quality teams in response to increasing teacher vacancies and decreasing teacher applicants as reported by the Georgia Department of Education (Owens, 2015)
Status of Social Studies within One Georgia School District
Get PDFThe purpose of this causal-comparative research was to examine whether differences exist between the time allotted for delivering content, the time allotted for lesson planning, the time allotted for student assessment, instructional perceptions regarding mandated testing, perceptions regarding pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), level of ease of planning, level of understanding of Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE), level of understanding of the teaching-assessment cycle, and usage of the system provided pacing guides within public elementary schools in one Georgia school district across the content areas of ELA/reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. The research also examined the differences in instructional strategies used in public elementary schools across different content areas. The PCK framework was used as the basis for this research study. PCK refers to a teacher’s ability to blend content knowledge with effective instructional practices in a manner that allows students to learn. The teachers’ instructional practices will enable school leaders and district leaders more knowledge when providing necessary resources and professional development opportunities. Using an adapted Status of Social Studies Survey (S4) through the Qualtrics platform, teachers disclosed their instructional practices for all content areas
Student Perceptions of Engagement and the Relationship to Student Perceptions of Teacher in the Visual Art Classroom
Get PDFLack of student engagement in high schools is a concerning factor in education; low levels of engagement can lead to student apathy, academic challenges, disruptive behavior, and a higher dropout rate. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between high school students’ perceptions of engagement and students’ perceptions of the teacher in the visual art classroom. The researcher used social constructivism as a lens through which to explore this topic. The theory of constructivism focuses on active exploration and learning about ideas of personal significance, where the teacher plays an essential supportive and guiding role in student learning. The sample for this research was 68 high school students in a large metropolitan school district in Georgia who were enrolled in Comprehensive Art I. The researcher used a survey to collect students’ perceptions of their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement in the art classroom as well as perceptions of their teacher. Data from this nonexperimental, cross-sectional, predictive study was analyzed using multiple linear regression where the dependent variable is teacher perception and the independent variables are cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement. Key findings include insight on the relationship of student levels of engagement to perceptions of the teacher in the art classroom
