Determining Relationships Between Predictive Factors of High School Dropout and Student Engagement

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Over the past several years, educational leaders and researchers have tried to find the causes for high school dropout. Studies have shown that both demographic and student factors have contributed to placing a student at risk for dropping out of high school. Most of the studies, however, have been conducted in urban or suburban settings. Additional research has been done to examine how students are cognitively, socially, and emotionally engaged in school. Often, students at risk of dropping out were found to have lower levels of engagement in each of the dimensions. This study endeavored to determine if relationships existed between traditional predictors of high school dropout and the dimensions of student engagement in a rural high school. Using the High School Survey of Student Engagement developed at Indiana University, the perceptions of students attending a rural Minnesota high school were gathered. Students were identified from responses to the instruments and separated by gender, grade level, ethnicity, home language, parent education level, socio-economic status, ways time was spent out of school, and perceptions of the school's structures. The quantitative data from 388 participants were analyzed using Chi-Square tests, and statistical significance was found in the dimensions of engagement for some traditional demographic risk areas. The data suggested that students' choices on how time was spent and their perceptions of school structure tended to have more negative relationships with school engagement than their demographic associations. This study has particular significance as it establishes reliability and validity for the High School Survey of Student Engagement not previously established by Indiana University.

High School Dropout, Graduation, and Completion Rates

Pages : 154
Book Description
High school graduation and dropout rates have long been used as indicators of educational system productivity and effectiveness and of social and economic well being. While determining these rates may seem like a straightforward task, their calculation is in fact quite complicated. How does one count a student who leaves a regular high school but later completes a GED? How does one count a student who spends most of his/her high school years at one school and then transfers to another? If the student graduates, which school should receive credit? If the student drops out, which school should take responsibility? High School Dropout, Graduation, and Completion Rates addresses these issues and to examine (1) the strengths, limitations, accuracy, and utility of the available dropout and completion measures; (2) the state of the art with respect to longitudinal data systems; and (3) ways that dropout and completion rates can be used to improve policy and practice.

Understanding Dropouts

ISBN: 0309170583

Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
The role played by testing in the nation's public school system has been increasing steadily-and growing more complicated-for more than 20 years. The Committee on Educational Excellence and Testing Equity (CEETE) was formed to monitor the effects of education reform, particularly testing, on students at risk for academic failure because of poverty, lack of proficiency in English, disability, or membership in population subgroups that have been educationally disadvantaged. The committee recognizes the important potential benefits of standards-based reforms and of test results in revealing the impact of reform efforts on these students. The committee also recognizes the valuable role graduation tests can potentially play in making requirements concrete, in increasing the value of a diploma, and in motivating students and educators alike to work to higher standards. At the same time, educational testing is a complicated endeavor, that reality can fall far short of the model, and that testing cannot by itself provide the desired benefits. If testing is improperly used, it can have negative effects, such as encouraging school leaving, that can hit disadvantaged students hardest. The committee was concerned that the recent proliferation of high school exit examinations could have the unintended effect of increasing dropout rates among students whose rates are already far higher than the average, and has taken a close look at what is known about influences on dropout behavior and at the available data on dropouts and school completion.
