¶ … local school district has recently implemented a program designed to support students who are currently in need of training in English as a Second Language (ESL).ESL students come from a country and/or culture where they speak a language other than English in the home. Not being native English speakers put these students at a disadvantage, both verbally and in written form. The school district would like to measure the effectiveness of ESL programs, and the benefits that the ESL program offers to the students who use it. There are a few other issues that the school would like to see addressed in the study. These are the link between the program and overall academic progress, the satisfaction level that the students have with the program, and the satisfaction levels of other stakeholder as well (teachers, parents and administrators).
The study will measure the impact the ESL curriculum has had on student achievement levels. The null hypothesis is that there will be a positive correlation between enrollment in the ESL program and student academic performance. The independent variable is participation in the ESL program. The dependent variable will be student grades. These are quantitative figures that the school...
When combined with records of student participation in the ESL program, it can be determined whether or not students participating in the ESL program experience an improvement in their grades over time. The underlying theory is that the students will see improved performance because the ESL program will increase their competence and confidence studying in English. The study will focus on the first grade level. The control group will be data from prior years. In those years, a different curriculum was used for ESL students. The district has data on the academic performance of those students. The district also has demographic data, and this will be evaluated to ensure that the control group and the study group are comparable. The performance of native English speakers can serve as a baseline in the sense that it is expected the ESL program students will start at a lower achievement level than their native English speaking peers, but will see their academic performance move towards the non-native level over time.
The study will be set in the school district. The reason is that each district in the area runs its own ESL program, and the study intends to test the effectiveness of this district's program,…
be made to approximate a chi-square distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size large enough. In this case, students in English as a Second Language classes should constitute a large enough sample size (Bagdonavicius, 2011). After the data has been analyzed, the results will be presented both in written format and in PowerPoint format.
It is extremely important that the participants' privacy is protected. The study participants are children, and the research will require access to their academic records. To ensure privacy, the students will never be contacted by the researcher. The researcher will only receive grades and test results, and these will be codified by student number. No names will be provided to the researcher. Each student who will participate in this study will need a written consent from their parents, guardian, and/or caretaker. A privacy form will be presented to each student in both English and Spanish that will explain the research study's strategic plans and objectives. The privacy form will require a parent's or guardian's signature before the student will be allowed to partake in the study. In addition, the students will be numbered with no personal information gathered; such as name, address, and/or demographics.
Bias will always be present in any type of research, and the researcher(s) in this particular situation will be reminded of that presence periodically throughout the time frame of the study. There are no particular biases for which this study is at significant risk, as the study is purely quantitative in nature. Students throughout the district will be chosen at random to avoid potential bias that might occur if students are selected only from a handful of schools. The sample size should be demographically representative of the population, and the different schools (and teachers) within the district.
Full Research ProposalSection 1: IntroductionResearch problem: The high prevalence of chronic diseases and the corresponding burden on the healthcare system in Saudi Arabia.Background: Saudi Arabia has been facing an increasing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. These diseases not only have a significant impact on the health and well-being of individuals but also place a significant strain on the country's healthcare system.Research area: The research
Economical and Ethical Issues in Recycling Economic Issues There is a general agreement that the U.S. should be undertaking more recycling, with only 34.3% of current waste recycled. The rate is increasing, and while there have been legislative moves, it may be argued that the ethical awareness and economic factors have had a greater impact. The research proposal argues that the dualistic approach to recycling seen in the anthropocentric model can be
The use of statistical techniques including t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient analysis and the use of predictive statistics techniques in addition to those mentioned will be used. Expected Results of Research It is anticipated that the Act will be shown to have a statistically significant effect on smaller firms choosing to stay private, and if they are public already, to choose to either go back to being privately held or be acquired. Further, it is expected
Car Advertisements The automobile industry is one of the largest in the world, and one of the largest advertisers in the world. In the 20th century, and into the 21st, automobiles became the dominant force in the development of the world, giving a high degree of independence to people who previously would have had much more limited means of transportation at their disposal. That freedom proved exceptionally popular, to the point
Jaron Van De Laar While green issues remain prominent in the hospitality sector, there is an immense amount of confusion amongst practitioners and academics on certain specifics. The focus of this paper will be sustainability practices in the Dutch hotel industry. The key issue addressed is governmental agencies' impact on implementation of green practices and eco-labels in the hospitality industry. Hotel stimulation to encourage engagement in eco-friendly programmes, as well
