The binary logistic regression model is used to analyze the school examination results (scores) of 1002 students. The analysis is performed on the basis of the independent variables viz. gender, medium of instruction, type of schools, category of schools, board of examinations and location of schools, where scores or marks are assumed to be dependent variables. The odds ratio analysis compares ...

In 2010, the PRISE Research Group developed a new student outcome variable, SASS, using state measures of high school success in science and college readiness. This variable was used to determine the relationships of school support practices and teacher characteristics to positive student outcomes in science. New analyses completed during the 20102011 school year by the PRISE Research Group ind...

Engagement and motivation are not one and the same, but motivation can be transformed into engagement with proper design of support. In this study, we examined the differences between high performers and low performers with regard to changes in their motivation, regulation, and engagement throughout the semester. Participants were 100 students enrolled in online self-paced asynchronous mathemat...

In present study, it was examined that how parent collaboration with school and student, affect students’ math achievement, and how this effect varies across schools. . (NELS) data set includes 24.599 8 grade students from 1042 high schools throughout the U.S. in 1988. In this data set some of the topics covered are school, work, parent’s educational background. By using two-level HLM), an atte...

College-bound students in Japan undergo a process of intense preparation known as examination hell. An extreme manifestation of examination hell is the ronin phenomenon. Typically thirty percent of students choose the ronin option under which they spend years in addition to high school preparing for the next year’s college entrance examinations. Using the mean scores of the entrance examination...

The purpose of this study was to screen for FCHL in children using serum lipid phenotypes. The subjects were 1190 (599 male, 591 female) children who participated in a screening and care program for life style-related diseases in school children. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride were determined, and information on the family history of parents was obtaine...

The combined effects of standards-based reforms and accountability demands arising from recent technological and economic changes, say Tom Corcoran and Megan Silander, are requiring high schools to accomplish something they have never been required to do-ensure that substantially all students achieve at a relatively high level. Meeting that challenge, say the authors, will require high schools ...

This article examines the impact of private high schools vs. public high schools on the academic performance of 15,270 undergraduate students registered at Ball State University. Students who went to religious high schools seem to outperform their private and public school counterparts. However, the impact of this advantage is a relatively small increase (0.055–0.073) in GPA on a four-point sca...

We investigate how “top-N percent” policies in college admission affect diversity at the high-school level. It is well understood that these policies produce incentives for students to relocate to schools with weaker competition. We show theoretically that such school arbitrage can neutralize the policy at the college level but may partially desegregate high schools. These predictions are suppo...

The relationship between academic achievement and the subjective well-being of elementary school children has received increasing attention. However, previous research on the relationship between these variables has yielded inconsistent conclusions - possibly due to the presence of potential moderating variables. This study investigated the relationship between the academic achievement and the ...
