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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students transitioning into the middle school often experience difficulty adjusting to their new environment. During this transition, declines in academic motivation, academic achievement, and connectedness have been noted. Most research on this transition has taken place in public school settings. This research investigated the impact of the middle school transition in a private school setting. This study examined students' perceptions of the middle school transition as it related to the connectedness students perceived to their new school, those individuals whom students perceived as most helpful during their transition, academic motivation and achievement following the transition, and perceived helpfulness of transition activities conducted by the school. In addition, the study examined significant differences of the transition experience based on gender and race. Five hundred and two private middle school students in 35 private schools in Virginia completed a paper and pencil survey in which they responded to 47 questions regarding their transition into middle school. It was found that students generally felt connected to middle school, and the number of extracurricular activities in which a student participated did not appear to correlate significantly with connectedness. Most new middle school students did not perceive their transition experience as difficult. Middle school teachers, parents and friends appeared to be the most helpful to students during their transition. As compared to elementary school, newly transitioned middle school students were more academically motivated, and academic achievement showed a slight improvement in middle school. Students reported that visits made to the middle school as an elementary student were most helpful to their transition, and that the summer orientation and tour were also found to be helpful. Males perceived parents, middle school teachers and elementary school counselors as more helpful to their transition than did females, who considered friends most helpful. Parents were perceived as most helpful to the transition by Asian students. Caucasians reported higher academic achievement in middle school than African American students, and African American students perceived their academic achievement as higher than that of Hispanic students. African American students, more than any of the other groups represented, believed that the information given to the middle school by the elementary school was very helpful to their transition. Native American students, and students identifying their race as "Other" felt that the assignment of an older middle school buddy was more helpful to the transition than did Caucasian or Hispanic students. In terms of the relative contribution of the variables to the prediction of ease of transition, the number of transition activities has the greatest influence, followed by level of support from others, perception of connectedness to middle school, and middle school academic performance.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this action research-based study was to identify first- year middle school students’ perceptions of the influences of a teacher advisory (TA) program on their transition concerns and connectedness with a teacher before and after their first nine weeks in the middle school. The transition from elementary school to middle school can be difficult for students due to the structural and cultural changes in the middle school organization and the adolescent development that occurs. The use of an advisory group led by a teacher to assist in this transition and connectedness is a program that was the subject of this study. Student perceptions were obtained from quantitative results from a pre-and post-survey and then followed up with qualitative findings from focus group protocol to explore the quantitative results in more depth.The main research question explored was: What are advisory-based students’ perceptions of transition and connectedness in their first-year of middle school? Supporting questions were: To what extent do perceptions of transition concerns and connectedness with a teacher change before and after students enter the middle school? What, if any, gender, age, ethnicity, and feeder school attendance demographic differences exist in these perceptions? What, if any, differences exist between advisory and non-advisory students’ perceptions on their transition concerns and connectedness? The conclusions from the quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that at the end of nine weeks in the middle school: 1) Transition concerns decreased for both advisory and non-advisory students; 2) Connectedness with a teacher decreased for both advisory and non-advisory students with a higher connectedness for advisory students than non-advisory students; 3) Advisory students expressed a more positive view of advisory teachers than non-advisory students expressed of homeroom teachers; 4) Advisory students overall had a positive perception of the TA program and the TA teacher despite a decrease in connectedness. Implications and recommendations for education personnel are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of gifted middle school students who attended one of two middle school gifted service options as they transitioned into high school. Gifted middle school students from either a center-based gifted service option or a school-based gifted service option from middle schools in a suburban district in Central Virginia participated in the study. Participants who had completed three consecutive years within the gifted service option were purposively selected for the study. Students completed a pre-transition survey at the end of their eighth grade year and a post-transition survey early in their ninth grade year. The survey asked students to identify their high school program choice and provide a reason for their choice in order to establish high school program choice trends among the different gifted service options. The surveys also assessed the differences in the students' perceptions of the transition from middle school into the chosen high school as it pertains to academic, organizational, and social constructs of the high school program. Students from the center-based gifted program were more likely to choose to attend one of the regional Governor's schools, and chose to do so because of personal interest and the perception of academic rigor. The students from the school-based gifted service options were more likely to choose to attend one of the district's specialty centers, and chose to do so because of personal interest and parental encouragement. Prior to transitioning into high school, both the center-based gifted and the school based gifted students had high perceptions of the grades they earned. However, after transitioning into high school, only the center-based gifted students continued to have a high perception of grades earned. Prior to the transition into high school the center-based gifted students had higher perceptions of the academic, organizational, and social constructs. Differences were not found among the post-transition perceptions of the academic, organizational, and social constructs between the two gifted middle school groups; however, the extremely small sample size of the post-transition survey may have impacted these results.

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.
