...lakeisha.grier@washburn.edu Wenying Sun, Washburn University, nan.sun@washburn.edu ABSTRACT In this study, we investigate the relationship between academic performance and the use of computer technology. We test our hypothesis which proposes that the growing use of electronic deveices is academically beneficial to high school students' standardized test scores and GPA. Our method of data collection includes both a survey of high school students in the Midwest area and an analysis of national SAT scores in the years before computing and in years with computing. Analysis of SAT archival data shows a negative correlation between scores pre-computing and scores post-computing (with computing influences), meaning that as scores before computing were decreasing, scores with prevalent computer technology are increasing. Our survey data also displayed a positive correlation between time spent on electronic devices for school purpose and GPA. Keywords: Computer Technology, Academic Performance, SAT, GPA, Electronic Devices INTRODUCTION The availability and use of electronic devices continues to grow. Over 420 million smart phones were sold worldwide in 2011 [6]. Almost 400 million computers were sold during 2010, and that figure is expected to increase to over 1 billion units which will include computers and smart phones by 2014 [3]. With the development of Wi-Fi hotspots, it is now easier for people to stay connected with their portable devices. Since electronic devices continue to...

...continue to be the most important factor in evaluating a school is deceptively simple. Most educators do not really understand why a standardized test provides a misleading estimate of a school staff's effectiveness, as well as education quality for students. Standardized test are not effective measurements of a student’s knowledge, they create negative impacts on curriculum, and they are racially, socially, and economically biased. A standardized test is any examination that's administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner. There are two major kinds of standardized tests: aptitude tests and achievement tests. “Standardized aptitude tests predict how well students are likely to perform in some subsequent educational setting (SAT-I /ACT), both of which attempt to forecast how well high school students will perform in college. But standardized achievement-test scores are what citizens and school board members rely on when they evaluate a school's effectiveness.” (Popham) One of the most important reasons that students’ performances on these tests should not be used to evaluate educational quality is because student performances on standardized tests are heavily influenced by three causative factors, only one of which is linked to instructional quality, asserting that low or high test scores are caused by the quality of instruction is illogical. Popham argues that the problem of this confounded causation involves...

...In today’s world, women are taking a more active role in their careers. There are women who lead large companies, own their own businesses, and are very active in their community, but there are also those women who are just laid back better known as gals. Gals take on their responsibilities, but they are not as serious about their lives as women. Gals tend to live their lives to the fullest. They attend sporting events, go to bars, and do not care what people think about them. Women are always concerned about their appearance and what other people think. Women take life very seriously. They see the world as a challenge everyday whether they are at the office or at home with the family. They always have an agenda for everything that they do, and a certain way of doing it. For example, a business woman has to wear a certain type of suit, shoes and drive a certain car. Women have a reputation to uphold. On the other hand, gals wear what makes them feel good and dress for themselves rather than dressing for others. Gals drive cars they can afford rather than driving a car they have no way of paying for. Gals are basically the average woman. They go to work everyday, come home and take care of the family and then take care of themselves. This means that they take time out of their busy day to satisfy some of their needs. Gals go out on the town with their friends, to volunteer their time for the needy, and they just make the best out of what they have. Women take care of themselves...

But I thought instead of going through the same essays over and over again, you can get to know more about me and what I’d like to do for the future. Sound good? Ok let’s go. First of all my name is Gustavo Arturo Villarroel De La Concha Alvarez. Pretty long isn’t it? Don’t worry you can call me Gus for short. Over the past year when I still a junior in high school I conjured up a multitude of ideas for innovations that could very well alter the way we manufacture vehicles for the future, but first I need to be educated in the field that best suits that subject, Mechanical Engineering. During my junior year, I bought a 2001 6 cylinder Laser Red Ford Mustang. It was a stick shift too, so it was fun to drive on the highway switching in and out of gears and really hear the engine roar. I went with my mother and step father to the Rolex 24 since they worked for BRA Motorsports and went inside the garages for the racers and I was mesmerized by the array of sport horses as well as the components that make them up. I was always a curious soul, I just felt the need to poke my nose into things that fascinated me and I always had the urge to obtain a COMPLETE understanding of them...

...at and to see if that child meets the basic standard for that age group (Benson, 2003). Intelligence testing determines the level for college students, and adults, such as entering college, and employee candidates for job placement. Today in society there are several testing options for intelligence, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and College Admission Test (SAT), (Benson, 2003). The American Psychological Association uses the intelligent intelligence approach for testing, as other professionals do. The intelligence testing determines effectiveness, and analyzes theories in this paper. Intelligence Testing Theories Intelligence testing is determined through a series of tests and evaluations. The evaluations are administered first to determine what type of testing is acquired. College student entering college must take a SAT test first before entering college to determine one’s abilities, or level for placement in a college (Benson, 2003). How this is determined is how well a student does on various levels on the SAT test. This evaluation is the results of the entire group of various questions to see what level of intelligence this person is at for college (Benson, 2003). Benson suggest those not entering college can take an IQ test that is...

...Why do colleges rely heavily on the S.A.T & A.C.T. scores? The SAT is essentially a reasoning test used to evaluate potential college students in an unbiased way. The SAT, unlike high school academic tests, is not a place to demonstrate accumulated knowledge, and high school alone does not prepare a student for a good score on the SAT. The SAT is neither an IQ test nor a measure of academic potential. Higher scores on the SAT significantly increase a student’s college options, learning about and preparing to take the SAT is an extremely important part of the college process. Some students have a high g.p.a. but can be bad test takers regardless if they study or not. We all know that many college admissions offices imbue SAT and ACT scores with importance. At schools that are deluged with tens of thousands of applications, numbers matter, so these scores can play an outsized role in admission decisions. That means these scores can affect where individual students get to go to school. Through my High School experience, teachers told me the SAT would determine a lot of my potential in life. Having been told this, I still feel the ways that it has affected me, and I still remember all of the years it took to undo the feeling of having a test define the rest of your life. Having to apply for fee waivers and the worry related to not scoring "high enough." because of this experience, I didn’t apply to the schools I didn’t think would accept me (based on my grade), and I didn’t...

...students to apprehend. The acceptance rate at Indiana University is roughly 72-78%. With a GPA of 3.62, Indiana University requires you to be above average in your high school graduating class. A student would need at least a mix of A’s and B’s, preferably with more A’s than B’s. An article from the Indiana University website explains, “You can compensate for a lower GPA with harder classes, like AP (Advance Placement) or IB (International Baccalaureate) classes.” If your GPA is at or below the school average of 3.62 then, you’ll need to have a higher SAT or ACT score. The average SAT score at IU is 1740. This given score makes IU competitive for SAT test scores. Therefore, it’s essential for incoming students to have excellent SAT scores near the average score at IU. Whereas, the average ACT score at IU is 27. This score makes IU fall under the category of moderately competitive for ACT scores. Thus, ACT scores are almost as important as SAT test scores. IU requires your general courses with a few upper level classes in order to challenge yourself. On average 34,646 students apply to IU Bloomington each year and more than 75% of applicants are accepted. Therefore, IU Bloomington on average admits about 27,272 students each year. Overall, Indiana University Bloomington has a high acceptance rate with competitive standardize test requirements. In addition, financial cost is a major component when deciding on colleges. The cost of tuition for individual residents at IU Bloomington...

...Indiana School Data Tommy Sickels July, 2012 Indiana Department of Education Data were obtained from the Indiana Department of Education website at http://www.doe.in.gov/. Each data set is a representation of numbers in Indiana schools except for enrollment which went back about 75 years. Therefore I took a smaller sample of the population. The Indiana Department of Education website posts most all information to the site. The website provides easy navigation with a very intuitive menu selection system that guides users through the website easily. 1) Enrollment by Hispanic Culture: Public School Enrollment Table A |Year: |Number Enrolled: | |1988-89 |16,826 | |1991-92 |18,013 | |1999-00 |30,083 | |2004-05 |52,665 | Enrollment of Hispanic culture in public schools has grown sharply since 1988-89 from 16,826 to 52,665 in 2005-06. This is an increase of 35,839 students in 16 years which is over twice the enrollment during the time period. The increase is positive for each consecutive listing in table A. Throughout the state of Indiana the Hispanic culture is on the rise and schools must meet the challenge of providing equal opportunity for education. In Americe, between the 1993-94 and 2002-03 school years Hispanics accounted for 64% of the students added...

I myself took the ACT three times (credibility). Therefore, we have all experienced the heavy amount of pressure, the nerve-racking time limits, and the “oh my gosh I only have more five minutes but two whole columns left to bubble” feeling. But most importantly, we all understand how much college admission hinges on how well we perform on these standardized tests. III. Thesis Statement and Preview: However, standardized testing has long-standing problems of inaccuracy, inequalities, and inducing test anxiety which I will later discuss in detail. Because of these flaws, the college...

...What is the ACT Aspire Test? Colleges accept both SAT or ACT test results for determining that a student is academically ready for college. While some students take both tests, others choose one. The ACT is described as more of an achievement exam, while the SAT requires more reasoning skills. The ACT is comprised of multiple-choice questions in the areas of English, reading, science, mathematics, and includes an optional writing test. Many school districts have taken measures to buildup participation in the ACT and optimize student outcomes. ACT Aspire is the latest curriculum-based program for elementary through high school students, designed specifically to: provide early assessment of student progress; enhance college readiness; and...
