The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to discover some social and economic factors concerning the home background of the ninth and twelfth-grade students during their first and last years of high school; and (2) to study the physical status of these groups for the year 1949-1950, noting the development of each group in order to discover the relationship, if any, of social and economic status upon school marks of the students in the two grades.

The problem in this study is to show the possible relationship between improved physical skills and the total adjustment of boys at the junior high school level. A limited number of boys selected from the seventh and eighth grades who were without adequate physical skills were given special assistance for improving such skills, and a record was kept of the procedure and possible results of this instructional program.

The problem of this study is to make a critical investigation and a thorough analysis of different methods that have been used to report pupil progress in the elementary school of Henrietta, Texas, and other elementary schools. Also, some significant changes underlying the concepts of educational achievements are to be shown and basic principles presented to develop a desirable method and procedure in establishing a more effective and functional marking and reporting program for the fourth grades in Henrietta, Texas.

This study is concerned primarily with comparisons in subject matter achievement between the pupils in the small rural schools and the pupils in the city schools.

The problem of this study was to find ways of improving and enriching the curriculum through the use of the intelligence quotients obtained from the California Test of Mental Maturity. To reveal some of the needs of the curriculum and also to reveal the possibilities and limitations of testing for intelligence, statistical relationships between intelligence quotients and academic achievement as measured by both teacher marks and achievement tests were determined.

This bachelor thesis investigates inequalities present within the elementary schools of Helsingborg during the period from 2013 to 2023. Through statistical analysis, it explores various dimensions of difference among students, considering factors such as gender, school affiliation, academic performance, and whether or not one recently arrived in the country. The study relies on data sourced from the Helsingborg municipality and addresses two main questions: the extent and nature of inequalities in Helsingborg’s schools and how these inequalities have evolved over the specified period. Two definitions of inequality are utilised: “Differences between groups” (e.g., between boys and girls) and “Differences within the same group” (indicated by high standard deviation within a group). These differences are quantified using three metrics: the sum of students’ grades (merit value), the number of classes passed, and whether or not the student qualified for further education (gymnasium). The methodology includes nonparametric hypothesis tests and regression analysis. The tests employed are Kruskal-Wallis’ test, Dunn’s test, χ2 test for independence, and Fisher’s exact test, with appropriate corrections. Standard linear regression is also applied. The findings highlight disparities in academic achievement and access to higher education. Notable results include a significant dichotomy between newly arrived students and other students across all performance metrics. There were no significant changes in inequality over the time period.

This paper presents the thesis that a major emphasis on craft activities in the creative art program for early adolescence is indicated as an aid in the adjustment of the child to the more mature status in which he finds himself. As a test, during the school years 1955-56 and 1956-57, children in grades six and seven at the W. W. Bushman School in the Dallas Independent School District, Dallas, Texas, participated in various projects in crafts as part of the course of study in art, which also included drawing and painting. A description and evaluation of these problems are the subject of this paper.

The present study is a part of a long-time cooperative study of the Home Economics Department of the North Texas State Teachers College, begun in 1940. The purpose is to compare the dark adaptations of second and third-grade children made in 1940 with those made of the same children in 1941 and in 1942. Also included in this study is the comparison of a group of freshmen college men made in 1940 with a group of twenty-five men made in 1942. An attempt is also made to determine whether an individual has higher dark adaptation on sunshiny days than on cloudy days.

Kreditvärderingsinstituten marknadsför sig som oberoende aktörer som ska vägleda investerare att övervinna informationsasymmetrier på kapitalmarknaden. Kreditvärderingsinstituten har på det sättet skaffat sig en framträdande roll på kapitalmarknaden. Kreditvärderingsinstituten ger en förenklad spegling av verkligheten samtidigt som de besitter en stor makt. Kommersiella fastighetsbolag kan förbättra sin kreditvärdighet om de överensstämmer med kreditvärderingsinstitutets normer. Analysen använder sig av en Foucaultinspirerade maktanalys för att beskriva hur maktrelationen ser ut och vilka effekter den får.  Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur de kommersiella fastighetsbolag som tagit upp ett officiellt kreditbetyg har påverkats av kreditvärderingsinstitutets normer och vilka inverkningar det har haft på organisationen. På så sätt kan det ge en ökad förståelse för hur yttre påtryckningar kan normaliseras och leda till ett självreglerande beteende inom en organisation.   Studien har antagit en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med ett abduktivt arbetssätt. Den befintliga forskningen har varit vägledande i studien men inte styrande utan studien har löpande stämt av observationerna mot den. Studiens primärdata har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer av fyra finanschefer och en medarbetare på finansavdelningen på fem kommersiella fastighetsbolag i Sverige. Därigenom utforskas huruvida kreditvärderingsinstitutets normer och metodologi har internaliserats och bidragit till organisatoriska förändringar.  Resultatet visade att kreditvärderingsinstitutets normer i form av deras metodologi för kreditvärdighet hade införts av organisationerna i varierad utsträckning. / The credit rating agencies market themselves as independent actors who should guide investors to overcome information asymmetries in the capital market. In this way, the credit rating agencies have acquired a prominent role in the capital market. The credit rating agencies provide a simplified reflection of reality while exercising power. Commercial real estate companies can improve their credit rating if they comply with the credit rating agency's standards. The analysis uses a Foucault-inspired power analysis to try to describe what the power relationship looks like and what effects it has. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the commercial real estate companies that have taken up an official credit rating experience the credit rating agency's standards and how it affects the organization. In this way, it can provide an increased understanding of how external pressures can be normalized and transformed into self-regulating behavior within an organization. The study has adopted a qualitative research strategy with an abductive approach. The existing research has been guiding in the study but not governing, but the study has continuously adjusted the observations against it. The study's primary data has been collected through semi-structured interviews of four finance managers and one employee in the finance department at five commercial real estate companies in Sweden. In doing so, it is explored whether the credit rating agency's standards and methodology have been internalized and contributed to organizational changes. The result showed that the credit rating institute's standards in the form of their methodology for creditworthiness had been introduced by the organizations to a varying extent.

This study's purpose is to see what factors affect formative assessment and how these factors impact the implementation in the k-3 classroom. The primary methods used have been electronic searches in the databases, ERIC, and Education research complete. Some studies showed that teachers have a positive attitude toward formative assessment, but they have some difficulties with its implementation. Time limitation is another factor that could impact the teachers' planning and the implementation of formative assessment in their classrooms. In some cases, formative assessment tends to lead more towards grades and results rather than proper feedback from the teacher. Teachers' understanding of formative assessment differs from one another depending on for example teachers' experience in teaching, teachers' background, male or female teachers, etc. A couple of studies focused on feedback as both a tool for teachers to assess students and in some situations for praising the students. It is up to the teachers to find a way to present the feedback effectively and equally between the students. Some researchers focused on the dialog between teachers and students as an essential part of the student's learning and development. Other researchers mean that the establishment of “sustained shared thinking” is essential where the focus lies on co-construction in adult-child collaborations.
