Abstract

The 1994 High School Transcript Study (HSTS) provides the Department of Education and other policymakers with information about current course offerings and students' course-taking patterns in the nation's secondary schools. One objective was to determine changes in course offering and selection patterns since the previous studies in 1982, 1987, and 1990. Another objective was to compare course-taking patterns to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), an assessment of educational achievement nationwide. In 1994, transcripts were collected for more than 25,000 students who graduated from high school that year. These students were from 340 schools that participated in the NAEP. Information in this report documents a significant increase since 1982 in the percentage of graduates completing curricula recommended by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. As of 1994, over 25% of high school graduates are completing programs satisfying the Commission's recommendations for college-bound graduates, and nearly one-third are completing the Commission's core curriculum. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of this report contains highlights of the study results, descriptions of the studies from 1982 through 1994, an introduction to the tables of data, a brief description of subject taxonomy, a discussion of the comparability of samples in the studies, and directions for testing the significance of differences reported in the tables. An error was discovered in the post-stratification weighting of estimates used to report the 1994 High School Transcripts Study data. Throughout the original report the error caused small differences in estimation and sample variance. This revision corrects these differences. Appendix A contains tables of study data, and Appendix B lists study codes for each category of data. (Contains 121 tables.) (SLD)

One objective was to determine changes in course offering and selection patterns since the previous studies in 1982, 1987, and 1990. Another research objective was to compare course-taking patterns to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), an assessment of educational achievement nationwide. In 1994, transcripts were collected for more than 25,000 students who graduated from high school that year. These students were from 340 schools that participated in the NAEP. This technical report documents the procedures used to collect and summarize the data. An accompanying volume provides tables of findings, and another contains the data file user's manual. The following sections are included: (1) "Executive Summary"; (2) "Background: Sample Design"; (3) "Selection of Schools and Students for the 1994 High School Transcript Study"; (4) "Data Collection Procedures"; (5) "Data Processing Procedures"; (6) "Weighting and Estimation of Sampling Variance"; (7) "1994 High School Transcript Study Data Files"; and (8) "References." Five appendixes provide supplementary information about the study methodology. (Contains 30 tables, 2 figures, 23 exhibits, and 18 references.) (SLD)

8. Effect of facemasks on speech intelligibility.

Abstract

With the advent of COVID, the wearing of face covering has been obligatory in both medical and everyday life. This paper describes three experiments undertaken to establish the effect of face coverings on speech sound power, speech directivity and speech intelligibility. The experiments used two different approaches: acoustic measurements and word scores. The face coverings assessed were a 'standard blue' surgical mask, a typical fabric mask, a prototype clear mask and a plastic transparent visor. The study showed that non-native English speakers had by far the most difficulty in comprehending English language speech when face coverings were worn during phonetically-balanced word list tests. All the masks were found to noticeably affect speech intelligibility, with the surgical mask having the least detrimental effect. The results are also compared to objective measurements of their physical acoustic characteristics to establish their performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. They are often noted incidentally at endoscopy or cross sectional imaging. Following their identification, further investigation via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), often with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) confirms diagnosis. The natural history and appropriate management of small (

39. How can the topic of electricity be taught in a way that engages Year 10 girls with GCSE Physics?

Abstract

The aim of this action research project is to develop and teach a series of electricity lessons, using tasks which engage Year 10 GCSE physics students in a highly academic girls’ school. It builds on the work carried out in Part 2, where focus groups were carried out across four year groups to ascertain student perceptions of physics. Electricity was a topic perceived as particularly disengaging. The post-16 uptake of physics in my school is aligned with the national trend; the number of students choosing to study physics is significantly lower than the number choosing to take biology and chemistry. This study argues that increasing student engagement with electricity may be valuable to increasing the uptake of physics post-16. This study begins with a literature review to set out what is meant by engagement, outlining the problems with the current research in the area and highlighting ways in which engagement can be increased. The use of modelling to increase engagement is thoroughly examined. A survey of 144 Year 10 students was carried out to elicit students' views of engaging electricity teaching. Seven electricity intervention lessons were taught and their success was evaluated using Grounded theory to systematically analyse audio recordings from a Year 10 focus group of four students. Following the focus group, the intervention lessons were adapted to develop an electricity revision lesson for Year 11 students. The success of this lesson was similarly evaluated using a focus group followed by Grounded theory analysis. The main findings of this study suggest that girls' engagement can be increased by ensuring that tasks are designed to include elements of synthesis of prior physics knowledge or opportunities for collaboration with peers. Girls were not engaged when tasks were perceived to have no relevance to their everyday experiences. Due to the level of abstraction inherent in much of the topic, it was found that the personal relevance of each task could not always be explicit.
