Influencing graduate students' classroom achievement,homework habits and motivation to learn with verbal praise     

Dawson R. Hancock 《Educational research; a review for teachers and all concerned with progress in education》2013,55(1):83-95

Identifying factors that influence students' learning in the classroom continues to be an important objective of educators at all levels. To address this issue, researchers have investigated a multitude of instructional variables that impact students' motivation to learn. One instructional variable, verbal praise, has often been identified as an important mediator in the enhancement of students' motivation to learn. However, the lack of consistent findings regarding students' reactions to verbal praise, combined with the lack of research on adult learners, prompted the current investigation. Using an experimental design, this study revealed that graduate students exposed to well-administered verbal praise by a professor performed significantly better on a professor-created examination, spent significantly more time doing homework and exhibited higher motivation to learn in the classroom than did studentswho received no verbal praise. Characteristics of effective verbal praise that contributed to these outcomes, the potential usefulness of verbal praise as a reinforcer of student motivations and directions for future research are discussed.  相似文献   

Testing the Predictive Validity of the GRE Exam on Communication Graduate Student Success: A Case Study at University at Buffalo     

Vivian M. Williams  Timothy J. Wise 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(2):229-245

GRE scores for entering M.A. and Ph.D. students in Communication at University at Buffalo from 1990 to 2001 were used to predict graduate student success. Graduate student success was measured in two ways: grade point average (GGPA) and graduation rates. Preliminary analyses on Master's students (M.A.) revealed that international students, compared to domestic students, earned lower GRE verbal (GRE-V) scores, higher GRE quantitative (GRE-Q) scores, had higher undergraduate grade point averages and were more likely to graduate from the program (82% vs. 49%). Only GRE scores were different for International vs. Domestic students when examining doctoral students. For M.A. students, GRE-V was positively correlated with GGPA and GRE-Q was positively related to earning the M.A. degree. Regression analyses controlling for several factors, including domestic student status, found only undergraduate GPA to predict GGPA and graduation for M.A. students. GGPA and GRE-V predicted graduation rates for M.A. students when GGPA was included in logistic regression analysis. GRE, GPA, and GGPA failed to predict Ph.D. success when examined together.  相似文献

A SYSTEMS MODEL FOR CURRICULUM DECISION MAKING     

Alan Johnston  Don Avila 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(2):109-116

Abstract

Two types of community colleges are described, one serving as a miniuniversity and the other as an opportunity center. The academic progress of 750 students from four community colleges, two classified as miniuniversities and two as opportunity centers, was compared in terms of (a) persistence, and (b) success after transferring to a senior institution. Institutions classified as opportunity centers were found to graduate a greater proportion of their students than did the miniuniversities. Academic performance after transferring to a senior institution was equivalent for students graduating from either type of institution. It is concluded that large numbers of community college students are unnecessarily discouraged and thereby deterred from higher education by community colleges that operate as miniuniversities and that the needs of most community college students are better served by the opportunity center.  相似文献

广西仫佬族与壮族中小学生体质差异比较分析     

潘聚仟 《四川体育科学》2014,(3):144-149

为了解和掌握广西仫佬族与壮族学生体质健康状况及其差异,对广西仫佬族1419名学生的体质调研资料进行统计并与2010年广西城乡壮族7～15岁学生的调查资料进行比较。结果显示,广西仫佬族与城市壮族学生身高、体重均值水平有较大的差距,身体充实度落后于城市壮族学生的平均水平,体型接近乡村壮族学生群体,男、女生身体形态生长突增高峰的开始年龄分别为13～14岁和10-12岁;肺机能发育水平以及柔韧素质仫佬族学生明显优于城乡壮族学生水平;视力不良检出率仫佬族与壮族学生均表现为,女生高于男生,并随学龄呈逐年增长趋势。因此,应根据各民族学生体质指标态势,有针对性地进行营养、体育锻炼等干预措施,以促进学生体质健康水平。  相似文献
