Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was designed to discover fifth and sixth grade teachers' and administrators' perceptions related to the middle school transition process relative to the academic, social, and organizational needs of students in a large, suburban school district in Pennsylvania. The participants were teachers of the core academic areas, encore subject teachers, counselors, and administrators at both the elementary and middle school levels. This research examined the results based upon the responses of 48 fifth grade teachers from ten elementary schools, 62 sixth grade teachers from two middle schools, and nine administrators from both elementary and middle schools who completed an online instrument - Perceptions of Transition Survey (POTS). The teacher and administrator POTS survey contained phrases that measured the extent to which they believe students will look forward to, may be worried about, and open-ended questions designed to obtain further teacher and administrator insight regarding the transition to middle school. Results of the study indicated all three groups (5th grade teachers, 6th grade teachers, and administrators) identified student social and academic issues as the defining characteristics of middle school transition. Identifying the consistent and inconsistent messages of school staff members across elementary and middle school buildings may guide future research as school districts strive to provide students with a successful foundation form middle school transitions.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is evidence that demonstrates the important role both parents and teachers play in the successful transition of children to middle school. While there is significant research into how both impact student success, there is a paucity of research into what teachers perceive parents believe are the expectations and concerns of their child as they transition to middle school. The purpose of this study was to use descriptive statistics obtained from surveys to explore what parents believed were the expectations and concerns of their child regarding the upcoming transition to middle school. Additionally, the study examined what teachers perceived parents believed their child's expectations and concerns were as they were about to transition to middle school. Finally, a comparison was done to find similarities and differences between the two groups. A survey was administered to 72 parents attending a new school orientation for incoming middle school students at a small rural school in Ohio. The same survey was administered to 16 middle school teaching staff members from the school the students would be attending. Parents and teachers identified both perceived academic and social concerns of children about to enter middle school. This included concerns such as getting good grades and having hard teachers as well as participating in social events and extracurricular activities. Both parents and teachers tended to have a holistic view of the identified items of excitement and worry concerning the transition to middle school. This indicated there was no major focus on overall academic or social concerns regarding the transition to middle school but rather a concern for the overall wellbeing of the student which is an important factor in establishing a successful school climate and dealing with the stresses faced by middle school students today.

D.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High dropout rates and low on-time graduation rates across the United States suggest that for many students proper transitioning is not taking place from middle schools to high schools. This study was designed to examine what effect perceptions and expectations held by students, faculty, and parents dealing with transition from middle school to high school had on the ability of students to successfully make this transition. In addition, the researcher sought to determine the extent student self-efficacy had on individual students successfully making the transition from middle school to high school in regards to core academic performance, behaviors, and attendance. The transition from middle school to high school is one of the most critical transition periods in a students educational journey. Evidence shows that more students drop out between the ninth- and tenth-grade year than any other. The literature concerning the area of transition from middle school to high school offers reasons why students fail to transition and what steps can be taken to circumvent the loss of these students prior to graduation. It was the researchers hope that by looking at stakeholder perception toward ninth-grade expectations and student perceived self-efficacy, this study would yield insight into what further steps could be taken to help all transitioning first time ninth graders to succeed and remain on track for on-time graduation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of eighth grade students and eighth and ninth grade teachers regarding academic, procedural, and social transition issues from middle school to high school. The research design was a multi-site, mixed methods case study of two suburban districts with single 6-8th grade middle schools feeding a single high school. Academic issues explored student concern about harder classes, homework, grades, more teachers, preparation for college, and preparation for life. Procedural issues included concerns about the size of the school, getting lost, getting to class on time, school rules, and expectations. Social issues covered included safety, sense of belonging, fitting in, bullying and freedom. The conceptual framework for this study was based on a study of elementary to middle school transition by Akos and Galassi (2004) which grouped transition issues into three components: academic, procedural and social. This study examined how these same issues are related to the transition at a secondary school level.

Download or read book STUDENT PERCEPTIONS ON BELONGING: THE TRANSITION OF STUDENTS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL. written by Kenna Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from middle to high school for students is filled with social and academic challenges. Students who do not successfully navigate these obstacles are more likely to drop out of high school resulting in a myriad of negative consequences for them and their communities. Student voice is an important but often overlooked asset in education. Therefore, to design improved transition programs, it is worthwhile to empirically study the student perspective. This study gathers perspectives about the school supports that most contributed to their success in ninth grade from students who did not drop out. Using InQuiry methodology, three distinct viewpoints emerged: Captains, named due to their self-reliance, Passengers who relied on support from school structures, and Crew who thrived due to supportive social network. The findings of this study can be used by school leaders to better understand how to design effective supports for students as they make the important step from middle to high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Sponsored by the Middle Level Education Research SIG and the National Middle School Association) The Young Adolescent and the Middle School focuses on issues related to the nature of young adolescence and the intersection of young adolescence with middle level schooling. This volume of the Handbook of Research in Middle Level Education marks the sixth installment in the series. The Handbook series, begun in 2001 by Vince Anfara, the series editor, has addressed varying thematic issues important to middle level education research. This volume, The Young Adolescent and the Middle School, focuses on the unique developmental needs of young adolescents and the role of the middle school in attending to these needs. The contributing authors in this volume address one of three developmental areas critical to young adolescents—physical development, intellectual/cognitive development, or social and personal development—and how these developmental characteristics affect the educational environment and the organization of middle schools.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study detailed in this dissertation was designed to examine and understand student perceptions of self-efficacy, motivation, student-teacher relationships, and procedural differences during the transition to middle school. The mixed-methods study utilized a survey, focus groups, and interviews to triangulate the data. -- An analysis of the data revealed that there is a statistically significant difference between student perceptions of motivation and self-efficacy at School A and School B. The researcher found that students at School A had a more positive perception in the areas of motivation and self-efficacy than School B, yet School B met its predicted growth score and School A did not. The paired t test established that there is no statistically significant difference between student perceptions of the difference between elementary and middle school and teacher/student relationships at School A and School B. The qualitative data provided by the focus groups and interviews allowed the researcher to establish that students from both schools have similar positive perceptions of consistency with teacher expectations from class to class, confidence, and being prepared for the transition to middle school.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine elementary and middle school teacher and administrator perceptions of variables that impact student transition from elementary school to middle school and to examine elementary and middle school teacher perspectives of student emotional readiness for middle school. A total of 30 educational professional staff, 26 teachers and four administrators, from two semi-rural public school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania completed surveys containing Likert scale questions. Two teachers and two administrators participated in the interview portion of the study to further explore their perceptions about student transition into middle school. The results of this study affirmed the importance of a cohesive transition program for students. The findings of this research identified a majority consistency of 70% between the perspectives of teachers and the perspectives of administrators regarding variables that impact student transition to middle school. Teachers were evenly divided on whether their students were academically prepared for middle school, although, the majority of teachers did not feel their students were behaviorally ready for middle school. Findings identified significant gaps in current transition activities. Response data supported transition activities were void of current crucial social issues facing today's youth. These findings can guide future research for school districts to create comprehensive transition plans to ensure students are given the greatest opportunity for success.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities (EBD) frequently experience poor social and academic outcomes relative to their non-disabled peers. The middle to high school transition is a critical juncture in the educational process and can influence or impact high school and post- high school outcomes. This study sought to gain an understanding of the ways in which the current middle to high school transition process for students with EBD was being implemented. Additionally, literature was reviewed to reveal possible evidence-based practices which could lend support to the process. Seven teachers of middle school students with EBD were interviewed. Themes emerged related to communication and collaboration. Results revealed several components of the transition process that teachers believed to be of particular importance. These results are discussed and additional considerations to establish a successful transition process are explored.
