The purpose of the study by Landecker (2009) was to show that the sentence diagramming can be an fun, interactive, competitive and engaging exercise to help students learn the parts of speech and how they fit together in a sentence. Landecker (2009) uses the observational method to gather data on her sample: a classroom of students under the direction of professor Lucy Ferriss. 24 students between the ages of 19 and 21 were "so excited about diagramming" thanks to the teaching methods the 55-year-old instructor employed in the classroom (Landecker, 2009, p. 10). The question that Landecker posed at the beginning of the study was whether or not students could actually find diagramming to be an interesting subject to which they could apply themselves and from which they could learn. As Landecker (2009) finds through direct observation, the answer is yes: the students were "infected with a zeal to get it right" (p. 10).
Participants
Participants in this study were 24 students between the ages of 19 and 21 -- both male and female -- in the English class taught by Lucy Ferriss. The class was a basic university-level English grammar class. Landecker (2009) observes that...
10).
Methodology
Participants were selectively chosen rather than randomly: Lucy Ferriss's students were specifically chosen for observation for this study because of the reputation that Ferriss had established for herself in the academic world regarding teaching grammar and diagramming.
The data collection tool employed by Landecker (2009) is the direct observation method. She physically immersed herself in the actual classroom environment where Ferriss taught her students in order to see with her own eyes how the students took to the method. The date chosen for observation was a day in which the students were participating in a diagramming contest: one side of the classroom against the other side in a race to see which side could correctly diagram the other side's 100-word sentence. This was, according to Landecker (2009), the "course's main event -- a sentence diagramming 'slam'" (p. 10). Landecker silently took notes, recording observations of the proceeding over the course of one-hour. The study was qualitative in nature, with Landecker (2009) highlight specific themes and activities in order to show to what extent the method of teaching diagramming was successful.

Key terms to be considered in this process will be those concerning a developed understanding of the purpose of the study from a health perspective. Therefore, this section should provide the study with a clear identification of those terms which will be needed for an understanding of the research subject as a whole.

Community Sports Programs Are Community Sports Programs a Viable Investment for Cities and Economies? Recent years have seen states substantially increase their budgetary allocations to community sports programs, particularly youth programs. This trend is informed by the belief that such programs help to reduce negative vices among the youth and to consequently boost the welfare of adolescents and youth in the state. The following research questions seek to assess the feasibility of
Perceptions of Self-Efficacy Among Counseling Students Today, increasing numbers of college students are enrolled in online courses that either supplement or entirely replace traditional land-based counseling graduate degree programs (Smith, Mcaullife & Rippard, 2014). These trends may have an effect on the respective levels of self-efficacy that counseling students develop as a result of their online or land-based coursework. To help determine the extent of these differences, if they exist,
Generating Hypothesis/Research Question Systematic and critical reviews The long established concepts and specialists reports have progressively been substituted by more organized reviews on the basis of latest researches (Heming and Brereton, 2009). An effort is made to maintain the same standards of researches that were previously maintained, by these organized reviews (Hemingway and Brereton, 2009). Findings on which the review is based should be properly expressed so that the data can
Based on behavioral screening procedures, 100 students were at behavioral risk. For the 100 students at behavioral risk, 60 also showed academic risk. (2003, p. 216).

Reading curriculum was the differential influence in students' growth in this study by Kamp, et al. (2003). Accelerating growth
grades of students' team taught and student not team taught in the MAE504 course at taking Trident University. In the quantitative research, carrying out a statistical analysis to answer the research question can be challenging for many students. The study discusses different statistical tools that can be used to analyze the data to compare the variable team taught students and variable non-team students. The discussion will assist students in
