This book was released on 2012 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation was designed to explore the transition of a group of ninth-grade students into a large rural upstate South Carolina high school. The primary focus was to ascertain the students' levels of academic intrinsic motivation toward English, math, science, history, and their general orientation toward school learning, and to explore those freshman academy experiences that the students felt most directly impacted these attributes. The freshman academy at this school was implemented in 2006 as a district initiative to strengthen the transition to high school and ultimately increase the graduation rate. -- This was a mixed methods case study in which the researcher sought to gain insight into the students' academic intrinsic motivation toward subject areas as well as their general motivational orientation. Data were measured quantitatively by administering the Children's Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (CAIMI) to a group of current ninth graders enrolled in the freshman academy at a South Carolina high school. -- The students' scale scores on the CAIMI measured their levels of motivation across five subscales--English, math, science, history, and general orientation toward school learning. Qualitatively, the researcher conducted three student focus groups, four teacher interviews (one teacher from each of the four subject areas), and an administrator interview with the assistant principal in charge of the freshman academy. Additionally, the researcher conducted a review of the written descriptions of the freshman academy. -- The results from this study led the researcher to conclude that the students, teachers, and administrator perceived the overall impacts of the freshman academy on ninth-grade transition as positive and supportive, thus easing the transitional challenges of its students from middle school to high school. All participant categories perceived the academy's structure and program design to have diminished the possible deleterious effects of the academic, procedural, and social challenges experienced by the students as they transitioned to high school. All participant categories perceived the teachers to be primary motivational sources for their students. Students indicated that, although this impact had been mostly positive for them as learners, in some cases, the teachers' impact had been to decrease their desire to learn. CAIMI subscale scores were low in all four subject areas, as well as toward school learning in general. This indicated a possible disconnect between what the teachers did to motivate their students to learn, and what the students perceived as motivating. The researcher's recommendations were for the school to assess the motivation levels of their incoming freshmen and to use this data to guide them in design and implementation of their instructional programs and schedules. In addition, the school should develop and implement professional development on intrinsic motivation theory and practical implications for the classroom teachers.
Book Synopsis Exploring the Relationship Between the Freshman Academy Environment and Academic Achievement and Resilience by : Taneesha George

This book was released on 2016 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student success or failure during the transition to high school is an accurate predictor of student success beyond the ninth grade. In an attempt to support students during this transition, many schools across the nation have implemented small learning communities called freshman academies to bridge the apparent gap in achievement between middle and high school. Research has linked freshman academies and ninth grade success in terms of test scores (Styron & Peasant, 2010). There is, however, little empirical research that examines the success of freshman academy students in terms of promoting resilience and other factors during this time of risk. Therefore, this correlational study tested the resilience and stage-environment fit theories by exploring the relationship between student perceptions of the freshman academy environment and student resilience in terms of academic achievement (grade point average), socio-emotional adjustment, and school confidence. Each of the research hypotheses was analyzed using Spearman's rho to relate students' perceptions of the freshman academy to each of the criterion variables. The research failed to reject the first null hypothesis, as there was not a statistically significant correlation between school environment and academic achievement. However, the research rejected the last two null hypotheses, proving that there was in fact a statistically significant correlation between school environment and perceived socio-emotional adjustment and school confidence. The researcher concluded that freshman academy success is linked more to the social aspects of the high school transition than to the academic aspects.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from a public middle school to a public high school represents a pivotal point in the educational trajectory of a student. To combat freshman transition challenges, school district administrators created Freshman Academy models. This study examines the impact of two Freshman Academy models, isolated and school-within-a-school, on student achievement and engagement in a rural East Tennessee school district. The researcher examined 2013-2018 English I and Biology I end of course Tennessee Value Added Assessment System assessments and former 2018-2019 Freshman Academy student survey responses of the Student Engagement Instrument survey on peer student support and teacher student relationships. The researcher found that no statistical difference existed between the two Freshman Academy models on student achievement and engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine teacher, student, and parent perceptions of the high school transition program within a Freshman Academy at one Midwest high school using a mixed-methods approach with a convergent design. Interviews were done with teachers that teach primarily freshman students, and perception surveys were used with teachers, students, and parents to answer the following research questions: a) How do freshman teachers believe the Freshman Academy interventions influence students' successful transition into high school? b) What are staff's perceptions of the Freshman Academy in preparing students for success in high school? c) What are students' perceptions of the Freshman Academy in preparing them for success in high school? and, d) What are parents' perceptions of the Freshman Academy in preparing their students for success in high school? The data was used to determine which supports participants believed were most effective in keeping students on track towards graduation at this Midwest high school. Summary statements focused on the importance of positive relationships between students and adults, and recommendations from the study focus on increased community building and building structures for increased student accountability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 67 people participated in this study. Along with the collection of archival data, 12 interviews, 13 focus groups, and 22 observations were conducted throughout a three-week period from April to May 2007. From these data, three cases were created to describe participants' perceptions on how the implementation of their freshman academy might have helped students transition to high school. Overall, my study suggests that freshman academies may help to personalize the high school experience when initiatives are completely implemented. Many freshman academy initiatives are difficult to put into practice and are only perceived to be truly effective and beneficial in helping students make the transition to high school when they are fully operational.
