Title
THE TERRANOVA MATHEMATICS TEST AS A PREDICTOR FOR GRADES IN ALGEBRA I.
Author
Plesa, Zuzana, Stout, David L., Zimmerman, Sherri L., Barry, George M., Franklin, Godfrey, University of West Florida
Abstract/Description
Examined in this investigation was the use of scores from the TerraNova mathematics test, part of the TerraNova Multiple Assessments battery, to predict grades in high school algebra. The TerraNova mathematics percentile rankings and semester grades for 116 Algebra I students over a 3-year period at a Department of Defense Overseas School in Iceland were obtained. The dependent variable was semester grades in Algebra I and the independent variable was TerraNova mathematics percentile rankings...
Show moreExamined in this investigation was the use of scores from the TerraNova mathematics test, part of the TerraNova Multiple Assessments battery, to predict grades in high school algebra. The TerraNova mathematics percentile rankings and semester grades for 116 Algebra I students over a 3-year period at a Department of Defense Overseas School in Iceland were obtained. The dependent variable was semester grades in Algebra I and the independent variable was TerraNova mathematics percentile rankings. A correlational analysis and a regression analysis were performed to determine whether the TerraNova mathematics test could be used as a predictor of grades in Algebra I. A statistically significant correlation for all 3 years was found. Subsequently, through the regression analysis it was indicated that TerraNova mathematics test scores did predict grades in Algebra I.

Title
ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTITY, SELF-CONCEPT, AND COMMITMENT AMONG TEACHERS IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA.
Author
Boutwell, Debra Ann Collins, Barry, George M., Zimmerman, Sherri L., Barlar, Alice D., Olson, Arthur H., Pierce, Christine K., University of West Florida
Abstract/Description
Effects of school identity and teacher self-concept as indicators to commitment were examined. A total of 223 elementary, middle, and high school teachers from 7 northwest Florida schools completed instruments and interviews. Teachers’ school (organizational) identities, measured by the Organizational Identification Scale, were combined with their self-concepts, measured by the Adult Self-Perception Profile, to predict 63% in the variance of commitment at work, measured by the Occupational...
Show moreEffects of school identity and teacher self-concept as indicators to commitment were examined. A total of 223 elementary, middle, and high school teachers from 7 northwest Florida schools completed instruments and interviews. Teachers’ school (organizational) identities, measured by the Organizational Identification Scale, were combined with their self-concepts, measured by the Adult Self-Perception Profile, to predict 63% in the variance of commitment at work, measured by the Occupational Commitment Questionnaire. Findings indicated a significant relationship between school identity and teacher commitment (.78), between teacher self-concept and commitment (.21), but not between school identity and teacher self-concept (.13). Teachers valued most highly interactions with students; 66% noted the need to be recognized, praised, and respected as professionals.

PRIVATIZATION OF SUPPORT SERVICES IN PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
Author
Clark, Charles Edward, Sr., Wentz, Patricia J., Barry, George M., Friedrich, Douglas D., Rasmussen, Karen L., Wu, P. C., University of West Florida
Abstract/Description
This study uses qualitative research methods to examine the privatization of support services in Florida’s 10 public universities making up the State University System of Florida as of June 30, 2001. The study was limited to those non-academic functions provided by the administrative divisions of each university. The study investigated (a) the different kinds of support services that had been privatized, (b) the degree of privatization, (c) how managers dealt with the ambivalence question...
Show moreThis study uses qualitative research methods to examine the privatization of support services in Florida’s 10 public universities making up the State University System of Florida as of June 30, 2001. The study was limited to those non-academic functions provided by the administrative divisions of each university. The study investigated (a) the different kinds of support services that had been privatized, (b) the degree of privatization, (c) how managers dealt with the ambivalence question when it was cost effective to privatize a service yet politically difficult to do so, and (d) the lessons learned from privatization of services. Data were gathered from each institution using a common set of questions applied through a combination of personal interviews and surveys. The study allowed comparisons of the 10 universities.

RECENCY EFFECT IN UNIVERSITY STUDENT EVALUATION OF FACULTY INSTRUCTION
Title
RECENCY EFFECT IN UNIVERSITY STUDENT EVALUATION OF FACULTY INSTRUCTION.
Author
Dickey, David Louis, Pearson, L. Carolyn, Rasmussen, Karen L., Barry, George M., Cox, John L., Little, Wesley J., University of West Florida
Abstract/Description
The 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 instructor’s 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...

Students were examined to determine the effects caused by rater training and keeping diaries of their instructor’s 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.
