Title: Effect of an interactive component on students conceptual understanding of hypothesis testing

The control group had hsyal lecture and home assignments while the experimental group participated in a collaborative interactive lab. Using Ancova, there was a statistical significant difference between the two groups based on the University of minnesota's Comprehemsive Assessmentment of Outcomes in Statistics

​When high school leaders
Talk about the high-stakes tests
Kids perform better

​
Pennylloyd Baldridge
East Carolina University

​This research shows it is likely that principals will lead more successful schools if they are comfortable talking to their faculties about high-states testing. To increase their level of comfort, principals should increase their knowledge of assessment-based accountability, their understanding of the history of educational testing, and their ability to guide teachers in improving the quality of classroom assessments. Furthermore, increased comfort in talking about high-states testing to faculty and improved understanding of the tests may help the principal create and maintain a learning environment where test data are used to inform instruction.

Dissertation Haiku in the News!

​​​           Doctoral Dissertations in Haiku
“One of my old professors liked to say that a poem isn’t any good unless you can explain it to a three-year-old. I never would have thought one could apply that same standard to a doctoral dissertation, but then I came across a brilliant little website called Dissertation Haiku.”
