journals I found useful was “Addressing Test Anxiety in Inner City Schools through Play and Performance.” This particular case study came about because of the seriousness and the increase of accountability being emphasized on standardized tests. The rigorousness of standardized tests has generated test anxiety among many students. The purpose of this study was to explore a new approach to this problem. This case study demonstrates the findings of a program called “Performing Beyond Fear .” It is “designed to help students and school staff deal more productively with test anxiety and stress by using performance activities, discussions, and stress reduction exercises.” The research was conducted by using the mixed method approach. The case study was conducted in two public elementary schools, Randolph and McDonald Elementary, during the school year of 2007-2008. The schools selected had the population where “more than 90% of students received free or reduced lunch and 97% of the students were African American or Latino.” McDonald Elementary was the school that implemented the program while Randolph Elementary did not. The case study included the participation of four fourth-grade classes from each school and also 241 fourth graders. The findings of the case study demonstrated that the elementary school that implemented “Performing Beyond Fear ,” in fact had an impact of test scores. The test scores for the…
of 13-35, which account for 21.6% of the total 97 in the sample. c. The mean level of the hour spent in the office during week 2 is 47.47 hours, with the standard deviation of 17.06. The distribution is slightly negative skew (-0.237), although in an acceptable range suggest that slightly more samples spend more hours in office than the average. The distribution’s value for kurtosis (-1.005) exceeds the acceptance level (value between 1.0 and -1.0.), implying it has a ‘Platykurtic’…
There are three core principles in developing PICT which are speed in generating test, ease of use and extensibility of core engine. PICT take input of plain-text file that specified by tester as test factor (parameters) and test factor values (values of parameter) (Czerwonka, 2006). Two phases need to be passed through in order to generate test cases in PICT, preparation and generation. Firstly, all information needed in generation phase need to be computed in preparation phase. This…
Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions that cause physical, learning, language and or behavior disabilities (Thomas, Cotton, Pan, & Ratliff-Schaub, 2012). In the United States, studies have shown that about 16–18% of children in various populations have developmental disorders, yet only 20–30% of them are identified before entering school (Thomas et al, 2012). As a result of this prevalence, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that pediatricians use the…
The scenario presents a great look-in-the-mirror type of opportunity for Lauren and the company, and can this simple transgression permanently tarnish her and even the company’s image in the market place? This is the first step in the Virtue test and it sets up moving to step two. Ultimately, does the company and Lauren as well, want to be known as trustworthy and take no shortcuts in their field? This I believe would be the case and pressing ahead with a bad product is an unacceptable option…
Each value of parameter was randomized to be combined as test cases. Since it is randomized, no fixed test cases can be got from this process. For instance, pizza ordering system can produced 11 random test case of {{1:1:2}, {0:1:0}, {1:0:0}, {0:1:2}, {0:2:1}, {1:0:1}, {0:1:1}, {1:0:2}, {1:2:1}, {1:2:0}, {1:2:2}}. From these random test case lists, each test case was divided and paired. Result of all random test case paired was shown in Table 3.9. Table 3.9 Divided test case Random test case…
This is not the case for everyone, a women could just as easily initiate violence, but it is “less likely”. It is good to have a balance between both and that will help you think rationally and not let things get out of hand. Women do not go into this profession asking for “special treatment”, they want to be treated just like their fellow male officers. It is hard on them when they are told “you cannot do this” just because they are female and are more fragile. They want to be treated with…
They also kill most if not all the civilians working inside the factory. By using the close connection theory, if can be stated that the deaths of the workers are so closely connected to the destruction of the facility, the deaths turn from unintended and foreseen, to intended. The pilot bombed the factory knowing fully that innocent people were going to die for the factory to be destroyed and still went through with their mission. In the case of DR, the doctors let the patients die without even…
families and kids in better situations in the end. If the case ends, it ends in reunification or in adoption. She has the opportunity to see children succeed and families succeed. Some things that she likes about her particular job is that every day is different, no day is the same. She is a fighter and there are a lot of battles in the system that have to be fought. Her job is exciting every day is different and every day is a challenge. She never feels like her job is easy and for her, that…
The District Clerk’s office of Webb county, located inside the Justice Center in Laredo, Texas, is one of the most important offices within its local court systems due to its constant mission to provide the most organized and efficient clerical duties for every single court case. This office is basically the “support staff” for the District Courts at Law and County Courts at Law which their roles include gathering data, issuing processes (such as warrants), reporting to agencies such as the…
