Secondary school attendance policies in Indiana, attendance and withdrawal percentages, and other selected factors : a multi-variate analysisMcMillan, Nancy C. January 1991 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine if any relationship exists among the factors of:(1) strictness of a secondary school's attendance policy,(2) its attendance percentages, and(3) its withdrawal/expulsion/push out percentages with respect to the school's:(4) student enrollment totals of grades seven through twelve;(5) proximity to an urban or metropolitan area; and(6) socio-economic status of the students.This quantitative study involved four (4) independent variables [policy strictness, enrollment size, urban location, and SES] and two (2) dependent variables [attendance percentages and withdrawal percentages]. Six (6) null hypotheses were tested.A questionnaire was sent to the principal of each of the 668 secondary schools which housed any combination of grades 7 through 12. The primary focus of the survey instrument was to have the schools self-determine the strictness of their attendance policies which were in effect for the 1989-90 school year.The attendance, withdrawal, SES, urban type, and enrollment size data were obtained from the Indiana Department of Education office in Indianapolis. The 1989-90 school year data was used. Each school's DOE-AG (Attendance & Graduates) and DOE-WD (Withdrawal) statistics reported in June of 1990 was compared to the questionnaire answers.Three (3) two-way analysis of variance tests (ANOVA) and F-tests for mean differences were used in the treatment of the data. Post hoc tests using the LSD procedure were also used on all groups showing significant differences at the 0.05 level.Eight of the twelve F-tests showed significant differences at the .05 level and in fact were found to be below a .001 level of probability that the differences were by chance. Also, significant interaction was found between two of the groups (policy group and urban type) when compared to attendance percentage.The findings were:(1) Attendance was most influenced by school size and urban type location than the other factors of policy strictness or socio-economic status of the students. Attendance rates were the poorest in large schools and in schools located closer to urban areas.(2) Withdrawal rates were to be highest in large schools and in schools located in metropolitan areas.(3) Strictness of a school's attendance policy did not seem to have a predictable impact upon the attendance rates of the student body with respect to the school's size, urban location, or the socio-economic status of the students. / Department of Educational Leadership

The relation of childhood church attendance and adult church attendanceAngel, Steven January 1979 (has links)
Although little work has been done in the area of consistency of church attendance across age spans, work in the other areas of psychology suggests that such behavioral patterns should tend to be consistent. A total of 102 subjects were studied, half of whom do not presently attend church, half of whom attend regularly. Various correlations across age groups were computed using Pearson's correlation. coefficient, and as predicted, church attendance or non-attendance was found to be significantly correlated across different age spans. A consistency hypothesis was upheld.

Views from the pews : distinguishing factors present in twenty churches that experienced attendance growth during the years 1996-1998Shumate, Charles R. January 1999 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe various characteristics that contributed to the growth in twenty churches that experienced a rate of numerical growth by a minimum of ten percent per year over the three years 1996-1998. The general methodology for the study was to report the experiences of the persons attending these fast growing churches. The study intended to bring some objectivity to the issue of increased attendance in worship services in the church.The review of literature revealed a plethora of central characteristics and vital signs that should be taken into account in developing a growing church. However, most of the studies were approached from the variable of membership instead of actual worship attendance. Since few studies have targeted the actual worship attendance as the focus of study a gap remains in the whys of Sunday morning worship attendance increase. The present study drew a blueprint for qualitative research and focused on the factors that accompanied attendance growth, as reported by church worship attendees.The twenty fast growing churches studied were of different sizes to discover essential differences and similarities in their growth characteristics and in their prescriptions for increased attendance. The churches were stratified into five different size categories, which included: fewer than 124, 125 to 249, 250 to 499, 500 to 999 and 1,000 or more in Sunday morning worship attendance. Three churches were chosen from within each of the five church size groupings, a total of fifteen churches whose attendees completed the survey instrument. In each of these congregations, one hundred persons were completed and returned. Also, five churches were chosen, one each from the size classifications for on location small group interviews. The overall quality of the worship service related positively to attendance growth. Church attendees reported the quality of preaching as an essential ingredient in the attendance increase in Sunday morning worship.Survey participants indicated that the growth of their congregation was related to the friendliness of the people in their church. Also, churches where attendees have a growing sense of belonging are more likely to be growing numerically.The five highest categories identified as contributing to attendance growth were associated with the Sunday morning worship. These churches place a high commitment upon worship. Friendliness was among the high five but goes well beyond the context of morning worship. Preaching, worship, a sense of God's presence, music, friends and caring relationships are important factors in church vitality, which accompanied increased attendance. Recommendations for further research were given.. / Department of Educational Leadership
