Performance Evaluation In order to assess the model accuracy, it is necessary to use some quantitative measures of learning. In this study the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and regression analysis were used to evaluate the model performance. MSE is a useful measure of success for numeric prediction and is calculated using Eq. (1). It is worth mentioning that small values of MSE indicate better performance of the ANN model. It was found that the optimum performance of the model is at 25 neurons with…
Assessment, Evaluation Paper Description: This quantitative study uses a least-squares regression model to determine the predictive power of socio-economic factors on district-level student achievement on new, Common Core-aligned standardized assessments. We posit that educators may use our methodology and model to control for socio-economic factors, and more equitably compare school district performance. Purpose We used a least-squares regression model to determine the predictive power of…

internationally accepted standards for sustainable forest management. Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments have long recognized that forests and their many resources are essential in so many ways to the long-term well-being of Canada’s environment, communities and economy. Managing forests sustainably is therefore critical for Canada, not only to balance competing uses in the short term, but to ensure we can enjoy forests’ benefits for generations to come. Managing our…

The survey instrument created for this study includes relational questions to discover whether one or more working conditions predicts teacher retention and whether the absence of one or more working conditions predicts the likelihood a teacher will leave teaching or migrate to a new building. The survey contains both Likert-type scaled response ratings and demographic questions designed to identify teacher characteristics such as grade level. There are four constructs in this study: academics…
Importance of Preschool Programs The priority of preschool programs has become a national concern due to the establishments of public prekindergarten programs throughout all the states. The introduction of structured learning environments is the new focus of prekindergarten programs. The connections between early childhood programs and kindergarten programs are key elements in helping bridge the transition gap (Skouteris, Watson, & Lum, 2012). Parents sometimes only have vague ideas of what…

People do not want to hear about climate change and decreasing natural resources. Continued denial will be the downfall…
