Teacher Retention: Why Do Teachers Remain in the Classroom?

by Patrick J. Couch

Research Design

This study will utilize the retention rate of teachers within elementary schools. The teaching
profession is known for its difficult nature and low retention rate. The burdens that teachers
experience within the classroom commonly cause individuals to burn out and leave the field of
education.
The research method is needed because it is essential to understand the ways in which
veteran teachers have been able to overcome the burdens of teaching. Also, to determine the
reasons why specific teachers have continued teaching for multiple decades.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to determine the reasons why specific teachers have
continued teaching for multiple decades and also to distinguished these characteristics of their
profession to be the main reasons why they return to the classroom each year. The results of this
study support previous research regarding the retention of teachers in elementary schools. The
implications of this study are significant because they emphasize the elements of teaching that
ought to be fostered within school communities. Across the board, teachers reported to value their
ability to make a difference in the lives of their students. Teachers also revealed that personal
relationships with their family, friends, students, and fellow colleagues have been the greatest
source of support for them during difficult teaching periods.

Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. What factors contribute to teachers remaining in the profession?

2. How do teachers describe the impact of the changes to their personal and professional lives?

3. How to understand the ways of veteran teachers have been able to overcome the burdens of
teaching?

4. How do teachers differentiate the new and veteran teachers in the field of education?
 Perceptions of Gender Differences in Science Intelligence

by Megan Fink

Research Design

This study will utilize the perceptions of Gender Differences in Science Intelligence.
However, gender differentiation in early play experiences may result in gender differences in
cognitive abilities, social interactions, and vocational choices. The research method is needed
because it is important to investigate to what extent these observed differences can be attributed to
measurement bias. Measurement bias may arise when the phenomenology of depression varies
with age or gender.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to examine how the gender and gender role of
participants influences the perception of their own intelligence (and multiple intelligences), that of
their partner as well as hypothetical others who are either described in “gender consistent”
stereotypical ways or inconsistently”, (Furnham, 2011a, 2011b cited by PMC Lab 2013)
“Transition from lecturing to active learning, students interact more with each other and are likely
comparing themselves more to other students in the class,” (Wong, 2018). Gender was found to
impact a student’s perception of their own intelligence, particularly when they compared
themselves to others. Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. What factors affects the gender differences in science intelligence?

2. How gender role of participants influences the perception of their own intelligence?

3. How student’s perception describes the impact of their own intelligence in terms of gender
differences?

Instilling a Sense of Social Entrepreneurship in America’s Youth by Tommy Flaim

 Research Design

This study will utilize the rise of social entrepreneurship in reshaping conversations
around our world’s social and environmental issues. In recent years, there has been an explosion
of interest in the relatively nascent field (Cohen & Bannick, 2014). Social entrepreneurship adds
a weapon to the arsenal in our fight against the various social and environmental issues that
plague us today, many of which have plagued us for many years. While there is a lot of promise
with this field, it is important that we fully leverage its potential.

The research method is needed to evaluate if, and if so to what extent, we can instill
interest in business and/or social entrepreneurship in elementary school students.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to instill a sense of social entrepreneurship in America’s
youth. Regardless of whether they cast the entrepreneur as a breakthrough innovator or an early
exploiter, theorists universally associate entrepreneurship with opportunity. Entrepreneurs are
believed to have an exceptional ability to see and seize upon new opportunities, the commitment
and drive required to pursue them, and an unflinching willingness to bear the inherent risks.
Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. What factors contribute to entrepreneur instilling a sense of Social Entrepreneurship in

America’s Youth?

2. How do entrepreneur describe the impact of instilling the sense of Social Entrepreneurship in
America’s Youth?

3. How do entrepreneur can instill interest in business and/or social entrepreneurship in elementary
school students?
Analyzing the Relationship between Student Engagement and Instructional Strategies in a
Kindergarten Spanish-Immersion Religion Class by Emma Fleming

Research Design

This study will utilize the relationship between student engagement and instructional
strategies within a kindergarten Spanish-immersion Religion class. Research on effectiveness of
immersion programs primarily investigates general methods of instruction in relation to overall
proficiency of a language (Cárdenas, 1993).
The research method is needed because instead of focusing on proficiency, this study
seeks to combat the means by which proficiency is affected: the instructional strategies.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to order for instruction within an immersion classroom
to be fruitful, language must be understandable, the content should be taught without translation
(in L2), and literacy is developed and transferred smoothly.
Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. How do methods of teacher instruction affect student engagement in a Spanish-immersion

kindergarten classroom?

2. Which methods promote the greatest engagement in this specific style of classroom?
 Analysis of Principal Leadership in the Wake of Maintaining a Tight Budget by Michael H.
Ginocchio Jr.

Research Design

someone to be a successful principal figure. It also sought to bring forth to public knowledge the
sheer difficulty of the job that these individuals are tasked with. Overall, this findings concluded
that each principal, through the way they handled their budgetary situation, exhibited trademark
qualities of strong principal leadership. They were willing to resort to creative methods to fund
programs throughout their schools, were actively involved in the lives of their students as well as on
good terms with their support staff, and did not show signs of major morale loss from the stress of
their jobs.

Learners by Madeline Hahn

Research Design

This study will utilize the rapidly changing U.S. demographics necessitate a closer look at
education for youth heritage Spanish speakers. Research shows that complete heritage language
proficiency contributes to the development of second language proficiency.

The research method is needed for heritage Spanish speakers in the U.S., where English
language proficiency predicts academic success, complete proficiency in Spanish is essential. Current
research suggests that heritage language classes are most effective in promoting heritage language
proficiency. However, limitations within this study suggest that further research is still needed in order
to assess effective heritage language class design and the true impact of CBI.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to investigate which of two heritage language class
designs [isolated language teaching or content-based instruction (CBI)] is more effective in developing
heritage language reading skills. A comparative analysis of scores from the Spanish reading
comprehension exams of heritage Spanish speakers enrolled in either a CBI or isolated language
teaching course reveal CBI to be more effective in developing Spanish reading skills within Spanish
heritage speakers.
Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. How do the Spanish Classes shows the complete heritage language proficiency to the
development of second language proficiency?
