Üniversite Öğrencileri Arasında Yüksek ve Düşük İstatistik Kaygısının Ayrıştırıcıları

Discriminant function analysis was used to determine important non-cognitive factors that differentiated between low-and-high anxiety students in statistics. The participants were 246 college students enrolled ion introductory statistics courses at a state university in Texas. Students responded to two scales: the Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale and Attitudes Toward Statistics. They also indicated their previous mathematics experiences, perceived statistical abilities, and satisfaction with their current statistics course. Findings showed that the discriminant model accounted for 63% of the between-group variance and discriminated with 88% overall accuracy. Perceived statistical ability was the most influential variable that separated the groups.Bu çalışmada, istatistik derslerinde öğrenciler üzerinde gözlemlenen istatistik kaygısının bilişsel olmayan faktörlerinin yüksek ve düşük kaygılı öğrencileri ayırt etmesi amacıyla Ayrıştırıcı Fonksiyonlar Analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Texas Eyaleti’nde bir devlet üniversitesinde istatistiğe giriş dersini almakta olan 246 lisans ve yüksek lisans öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Öğrenciler İstatistik Kaygısı Derecelendirme Ölçeği ve İstatistiğe Karşı Tutumlar Ölçeği’ni yanıtlamışlar ve ayrıca geçmiş matematik tecrübelerini, kendilerinin istatistik yeteneklerini ve aldıkları istatistik dersindeki doyum düzeylerini öznel olarak derecelendirmişlerdir. Araştırma bulguları ayrıştırıcı modelin gruplar arası varyansın % 63’ünü açıkladığını ve modelin % 88 genel doğruluk düzeyinde olduğunu göstermiştir

Explorations With Fixed-Role Therapy

Here then, are the first studies of the effectiveness of fixed role therapy. We hope that making these available, in their original unedited form, to the wider scientific community will fill a gap in the historical record and stimulate further work on this important technique on Kelly\u27s approach to human adaptation.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/fort_hays_studies_series/1047/thumbnail.jp

The Handbook of Clinic Practice

The Handbook of Clinic Practice is a major surviving document that shows Dr. Kelly\u27s early development as a clinician. The Handbook began as a guide for bachelor and master level students working in the Clinc. This was a major teaching tool for Dr. Kelly during his years at Fort Hays Kansas State College. It represents his early position regarding behavior in a clinical setting, and also provides a glimpse of the immense variety and scope of Dr. Kelly\u27s talents.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/fort_hays_studies_series/1048/thumbnail.jp

An exploration of the perceptions of Illinois secondary administrators toward agricultural education and their preferences for a quality agricultural education program

This study examined the perceptions that Illinois administrators have toward secondary agricultural education and the qualities that make an agricultural education program successful. In most cases, positive perceptions and high support levels were tied closely to the ability of the program to apply core concepts such as math, science, and reading into the curriculum. Community need was also cited as an important factor in administrators’ support for agricultural education programs. Those programs with curriculum foci that prepared students in areas of agricultural mechanics, business or production also received strong support. These findings suggest that the major factor affecting administrator support for agricultural education is tied in closely with the ability of the program to aid in increasing student achievement as measured through standardized test scores as well as prepare students for careers in agriculture

Concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the information processing styles

To investigate concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of thr Information Processing Styles, 62 students majoring in social sciences evaluated the accuracy of the checklist in describing their dominant types. Each student had a friend who read the descriptions of thy dominant types(s) of the student and rated their perceived accuracy of that categorization. Analyses indicated the inventory is reliable and valid
