1. A Longitudinal Study of Elementary Education Majors: 1982-1994.

Author

Turner, James S. and Shelton, Aubrey W.

Abstract

In 1948 the Mississippi State University College of Education underwent a major revamping of the undergraduate program. Prior to new reforms, data were gathered on elementary education majors to study the effects of the reforms. In order to compare a variety of data from two years prior to 1984 (before actual changes) with data of those graduating during the 1984-88 period (partial changes implemented) and of those graduating since 1988 (all changes implemented), the study looked at four questions: (1) whether personal characteristics of elementary education majors change; (2) relationships between the ACT (American College Test) and the NTE (National Teachers Exam); (3) changes in the NTE scores following curriculum modification; and (4) whether these reforms would bring about the desired changes. After a review of relevant literature, data relating to each of the research questions are discussed. Findings indicated that over the course of the study, elementary education majors' personal characteristics appeared very similar, and that the best predictor of how well students performed on the areas of the NTE was the ACT Composite Score. The study also found a significant increase in scores on all the ACT areas. In general, scores for NTE areas increased approximately four points, with the exception of the Elementary Specialty Area which increased over 40 points. The question raised by this study is why the curriculum area which underwent the most radical reform (professional knowledge) showed the least gain and the curriculum area which underwent the least radical reform (Elementary Education Specialty Area) showed the most gain. Tables summarizing the data are included. (Contains 32 references.) (ND)

Abstract

This research article is a collaborative set of reflections and provocations stemming from the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded workshop on STS as a Critical Pedagogy, hosted online during the summer of 2021 by Shannon N. Conley and Emily York at James Madison University. The workshop occurred over four separate sessions, bringing together forty participants (including six undergraduate students who contributed as both facilitators and research assistants). Participants self-organized into panels, leading the workshop collective to engage a host of questions, challenges, methods, and practices related to STS and critical pedagogy. Questions included the following. What characterizes critical STS pedagogies? How are critical STS pedagogies enabled and constrained by our institutional and disciplinary locations? What makes STS pedagogies travel? How might we imagine STS pedagogies otherwise? How do our pedagogies shape our research and engagement in the world? How might we critically interrogate the boundaries between research, teaching, service, and engagement, and what becomes visible when we do so?

Abstract

Summary: Background: Children from racial and ethnic minority groups are at greater risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but it is unclear whether they have increased risk for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Our objectives were to assess whether the risk of respiratory and neurologic PASC differs by race/ethnicity and social drivers of health. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals

9. Probationary Public School Districts Using Selected Variables after Remediation.

Author

Holcombe, Bettye Pulliam and Shelton, Aubrey W.

Abstract

The purpose of this Mississippi study was to determine if there was a correlation significantly different from zero between test scores, level of accreditation (Level 1--the 17 highest-scoring public school districts in the study, or Level 2--the 18 lowest-scoring), district expenditure per pupil, district size, and eligibility of students for free/reduced lunches as measured by the Basic Skills Assessment (BSAP), the Functional Literacy Examination (FLE), and the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT). All three tests measured reading and math. The BSAP and the FLE measured written communication. The SAT measured language. The BSAP was administered in grades 3, 5, and 8; the FLE was administered in grade 11; and the SAT was administered in grades 4 and 6. Overall, the results showed that the best predictor for reading was reading, the best predictor for math was math, and the best predictor for written communication or language was written communication or previous language test scores. However, the second best predictor for the Functional Literacy Examination scores was the eligibility of the student for free/reduced lunches in the district. There are 12 tables and a list of 13 references. (LMI)

10. A Study of Seventeen School Districts on Probationary Status after a Remediation Process.

Author

Holcombe, Bettye Pulliam and Shelton, Aubrey W.

Abstract

As a result of the Educational Reform Act in 1982, the Mississippi State Board of Education adopted accreditation levels from 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest level. In 1988, 17 school districts were assigned to the Level 1 status by the Commission on School Accreditation, based on results of the following performance standards: Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP), Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) in grades 4 and 6, and Functional Literacy Examination (FLE) in grade 11. As mandated, all Level 1 school districts must write and implement a district remediation plan. The MSDE employed 57 consultants to work with the 17 Level 1 school districts for 1 year. Each district's remediation plan was developed using the consultants' findings, the test data of the district, and other information about the areas of deficiency. This study assessed whether or not there were any differences in achievement between the 17 Level 1 school districts and the bottom 18 Level 2 school districts before and after a remediation process by the Mississippi State Department of Education (MSDE). The results in reading, math, and written communication on the BSAP in grades 3, 5, and 8; and on the FLE in grade 11 are reported. The SAT results in grades 4 and 6 in reading, math, and language are reported. Data for the 1987 and 1988 test administrations were obtained from the MSDE. The data were analyzed using an independent "t" test. The results show a significant difference in the 1987 testing of the Level 1 and Level 2 school districts. Before the remediation process, there was a significant difference in 6 of the 18 performance standards. These differences were found on the SAT for grades 4 and 6 in reading, math, and language. After the remediation process, only one difference was found in the 18 performance standards; this difference was on the SAT for grade 6 in language. Two data tables are included. (RLC)

11. Preservice Teachers' Perceptions of Teacher Effectiveness.

Author

Shelton, Aubrey W. and Draper, Nancy M.

Abstract

This study sought to determine if preservice teachers perceived that state-mandated teaching competencies were important and if they felt competent in these mandated areas. The subjects were 313 preservice teachers enrolled in elementary education at Mississippi State University and Florida State University in the spring of 1989. The subjects responded to a survey instrument developed by the researchers to identify the preservice teachers' perceptions of teacher effectiveness. The teaching competencies from both Mississippi and Florida evaluation modules were used to develop the survey instrument. Results indicated that the preservice teachers perceived items pertaining to planning, classroom instruction, and school environment to be important and that they felt competent on these items. They perceived the teaching competencies included in the states' evaluation instruments to be important and also felt competent on these items. A recommendation is made for similar longitudinal studies to be conducted prior to any field-based experience, after 20 hours of field-based experience, after student teaching, and after completion of one year of teaching experience. Five pages of tables displaying the data are included. (JD)
