Show moreThe researcher examined how recency effect influences student evaluations of faculty. Students were examined to determine the effects caused by rater training and keeping diaries of their instructors performance. Students used The University of West Florida Student Assessment of Instruction as a pretest and posttest to evaluate their instructor. Results indicated that recency effect does exist. Results also indicated that even though students have not heard of recency effect they have recognized and experienced the effect. Faculty interviewed clearly defined and understood the impact of recency effect, including several of the faulty admitting they tried to influence student evaluations based on recency effect.

Show moreA hierarchical approach to examine nursery function of coastal systems was tested for gray snapper, Lutjanus griseus. Juveniles were sampled with trawls and seines in four regions along west Florida. The first two tiers of habitat evaluation showed that seagrass was a significant variable for presence/absence and density of gray snapper (Binomial GLM; p < 0.001, Delta Lognormal GLM; p = 0.002). Significant differences in growth rates were observed in 2007 (ANCOVA test for equal slopes; p < 0.001) but not 2006, driven by fastest growth in the Southwest region and slowest in the Big Bend region. Region-specific natural tags from otolith chemistry were derived from element:Ca ratios (Ba:Ca, Li:Ca, Mg:Ca, Mn:Ca, and Sr:Ca) and carbonate stable isotopes values (13C and 18O). Significant differences were found among study regions and between sampling years (MANOVA Pilia's trace; p < 0.001 for both effects). Cross validated classification accuracies using four regions were 77.9% in 2006, 85.0% in 2007, and 76.3% when years were modeled jointly. Using three regions raised classification success to 82.6% in 2006, 92.3% in 2007, and 83.3% when years were modeled jointly. Subsequent studies may employ tags based on otolith chemical signatures to estimate nursery sources of adults.

Reef fish community structure was estimated from video collected at unpublished artificial reef sites (n = 27) located between 15 and 20 miles south of Pensacola, Florida. Quarterly sampling trips were conducted between fall 2004 and summer 2006. Video sampling was performed with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with a laser scaler that was used to estimate fish size.

Show moreReef fish community structure was estimated from video collected at unpublished artificial reef sites (n = 27) located between 15 and 20 miles south of Pensacola, Florida. Quarterly sampling trips were conducted between fall 2004 and summer 2006. Video sampling was performed with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with a laser scaler that was used to estimate fish size. Tagging also was conducted at a subset (n = 9) of reef sites to examine species-specific site fidelity and movement. Results indicate that reef communities are dynamic in nature as significant changes occurred in fish assemblages and the reef-attached fouling community during the study. Number of fish species and individuals present increased over time, while evenness and the Shannon-Weiner diversity index decreased. Reefs were characterized by large abundances of small red snapper (< 9% above the legal size limit of 406 mm) which increased in abundance, along with other lutjanids, throughout the study, while grouper abundances decreased. Tagging data demonstrated that red snapper exhibited the lowest site fidelity and most movement (mean distance = 27.2 km) among tagged fishes. Overall, study results suggest even fishes observed at unreported artificial reef sites may suffer significant fishing mortality if they move among fished and unfished areas.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to explore the outcomes of implementing the practice of leader rounding at Ferry Pass Middle School. Specifically, this study focused on how certain leader actions influenced staff's satisfaction with their work environment and parents' satisfaction with their child's education. The teachers' perceptions of principals applying leader rounding were also determined. In this study, the leader rounding process was implemented in the spring semester of 2010. Survey instruments were administered to 887 families and 85 staff members at Ferry Pass Middle School to determine staff and parent satisfaction. In addition, two focus group sessions were conducted to gain teachers' perceptions about the leader rounding process. The findings indicate that the actions included in the leader rounding process positively influenced staff's perceptions about their work environment. Data from focus groups indicate that leader rounding made a positive impact on morale and opened up lines of communication. Ferry Pass Middle School is a better place to work for employees. Staff members see the benefits of leader rounding and would like the process to continue.

These factors include individual differences as well as external conditions such as time of day and task parameters. The current study examined the impact of time of day preference and task instructions on performing a simulated baggage screening task. Task instructions were manipulated to prime participants to either a prevention or promotion regulatory focus. Participants performed the task either during their preferred time of day or outside their preferred time (i.e., off peak). No significant differences in performance were found due to priming or due to time of day preference.

Show moreIn response to declining national academic rankings, the United States developed a set of common standards (Common Core State Standards Initiative [CCSSI], 2015; Neuman & Roskos, 2013); however, success requires student effort. In that respect, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student ability and effort following implementation of the Common Core Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and student motivation for learning mathematics. The construct of perception evident in Weiner's attribution theory of interpersonal motivation indicates individuals attribute motivation to factors they perceive to be real (Weiner, 2000). Student perceptions of parent attitudes can influence student motivation. This study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional design with survey methodology to gather data online from middle school students in a district that implemented the CCSSM. The study used 122 participants for an alpha of .05, power of .80, and medium effect size. The study utilized Pearson's r and Spearman r along with simple linear regression and multiple regression analyses to describe the relationship between the variables. Results indicate that student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student ability have a greater influence on student motivation than student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student effort. Student perceptions of parent attitudes toward both student ability and student effort are more positive than student perceptions of their own ability and effort, consistent with Weiner's (2000) social component of motivation. The study implies possible changes to policy and practice that would increase parent communication and involvement in a child's education.

Show moreRecent surveys have revealed substance use in students as early as the elementary years. According to the literature, peer groups are influential on individual behavior and this is especially true during the early years of adolescence. Thus, research has started to identify specifics of early adolescent substance use. The present research investigated the predictive power of social norms, specifically overall school norms and peer groups norms, on adolescents. self-reported substance use. The sample included 132 adolescents in physical education classes in a rural southeastern middle school. Adolescent's perceptions of cigarette, chewing tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, and other substance use of the overall school, peer groups within the school, and their self-selected peer group were assessed using a survey developed by the researcher. The results of the study support the contention that perceived peer group substance use is a stronger predictor of adolescent self-reported substance use than perceived schoolwide substance use. This research could be beneficial in informing school administrators and researchers about substance use at the middle school level which could lead to a better understanding of how to tailor prevention to this population.

Show moreBasic teacher certification examinations serve as the primary tool for assessing the academic readiness of candidates to enter teacher education programs in many parts of the United States. However, data indicate that teacher examinations disproportionately hinder diverse individuals. Current research has linked Florida's General Knowledge, Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FTCE) with the stagnation of qualified teacher education applicants but has failed to investigate the examination specifically. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between test-taker characteristics and the number of attempts test-takers required to pass the General Knowledge FTCE at a Southeastern U.S. public university. Astin's (1993) input-environment-outcome (I-E-O) model guided the study by suggesting test-taker characteristics may be related to the test-taker outcome of passing the General Knowledge FTCE. I utilized Spearman's rank-order correlation and Pearson's chisquare test to analyze the relationship between academic and demographic characteristics of the sample (N = 623) and the number of General Knowledge FTCE attempts. The study did not find a statistically significant relationship or difference between grade point average (GPA), firsttime-in-college (FTIC) status, transfer status, or gender and the number of General Knowledge FTCE attempts. A small negative monotonic relationship between age and the number of General Knowledge FTCE attempts and a statistically significant difference between race and the number of test attempts were found. I discuss implications pertaining to the need for further research on the relationship between age and teacher certification examination success, alternative teacher certification assessments, and General Knowledge FTCE score reporting.
