Type: Dissertations/Theses - Masters Theses
Subjects: Gender Issues,Sex Role,Sex Stereotypes,Childrens Literature,Picture Books,Story Telling,Language Usage,Content Analysis,Gender Differences,Literary Devices,Gender Bias,Equal Education,Illustrations

The purpose of this study was to identify the gender representation and language use in 20 children's storybooks by Pratham books and Tulika publishers. Children begin to learn values and perspectives in the early years of their life. This learning about various aspects builds the foundations of how their ideas and views are shaped. Hence, reading materials such as storybooks present them with insight into how different genders are perceived in the society. This present study aims to explore how genders are visually depicted in storybooks in terms of roles/occupations and activities, appearance and locations/space(s) used, and the language usage that is, the adjectives by which genders are described. For this study, a qualitative method was adopted and the data was analysed in two parts, Firstly, a content analysis tool was employed which addressed the two aspects (A) Visual analysis and (B) Linguistic analysis. Secondly, the data from the content analysis tool was further analysed by employing thematic analysis. It was revealed from the findings that both females and males were portrayed as primary caregivers but the larger number of females hold the roles of primary caregivers in families depicted in storybooks. Female characters were assigned occupations/jobs outside of home settings but not even once male characters were depicted in activities in public spaces. The findings did not reveal any use of sexist language in the storybooks. Authors and illustrators should develop storybooks with equal gender representation in the text as well as depiction through visual representation Policymakers, stakeholders, and educators should develop such a curriculum where storybooks with equal representation is selected and read in schools. It is suggested another research in the same area should be conducted with large-scale data and future research could explore variations with the age-groups, language and publishers for an in-depth study in the area of gender representation. The following are appended: (1) Appendix- A: Layout of Content analysis tool, Appendix-B: Information about storybooks by Pratham Books and content analysis of storybooks by Pratham Books and graphs, (2) Appendix-C: Information about storybooks by Tulika Publishers and content analysis of storybooks by Tulika Publishers and graphs.

Student dropout is one of the challenges commonly encountered by learning institutions. It has been a problem and several studies have been conducted to know the reasons for dropping out to craft solutions appropriate and contextualized to different types of learning institutions. This study seeks to determine the dropout rates of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology students in a state university in Nueva Ecija, Philippines during the Academic Year 2020-2021. The study was conducted in time of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic to understand the reasons of the IT students for dropping out. Descriptive research design was used in this study and statistical treatment such as frequency and percentage distributions were used to quantitatively describe the data. Results revealed that there is a 10.79% decrease in enrollment from the first semester during the second semester of Academic Year 2020-2021, majority of the students who have not enrolled are from the first year level, and the three major reasons why student-respondents decided to stop schooling are (1) availability of resources, (2) financial difficulties, and (3) conflicts with their work schedules. Researchers suggest that to lessen the number of student dropouts, instructors are encouraged to motivate their students, especially those in the first year level to continue their studies and strive to excel in their chosen program. Also, the guidance and counseling office of the college may craft programs and activities to boost the interest of the students to study hard amidst the challenges they encounter. Lastly, the students may be informed and introduced to different financial assistance such as scholarships available in the university.

The research has been conducted to examine the feasibility of offering a Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing, one of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) priority courses according to [1] and in keeping with the University's mission and vision. In Nueva Ecija, questionnaires were delivered to senior high school students, and interviews were performed with corporate companies. The data was analyzed using the SWOT Analysis approach to establish the course's competitiveness and cost. According to the survey findings, many graduating senior high school respondents consider BSEMC as a college course. Some of the reasons mentioned by respondents are free tuition, proximity to their home, the University's outstanding reputation, demand for the degree, and a high percentage of employability soon after graduation. A questionnaire and interviews were used as the primary instruments in this study, including selected high schools in Nueva Ecija and several commercial entities. It also used SWOT analysis to determine the course's competitiveness and attractiveness. The amount of senior high school students who replied favorably to the questionnaire reveals that student-respondents are interested in enrolling in the BS in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing program. Demand for the course, the low cost of education, employment after graduation, and the University's strong reputation are all factors. The University's strength is based on its vision, purpose, goals, objectives, and CHED standards such as faculty qualifications and available facilities. Limited educational offerings and reliance on government scholarships are two internal flaws. This contributes to the industry's human resources shortage even more. As a result, offering entertainment and multimedia computing is necessary.

Interest continues to be high in technology-based interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Understanding the preferences and challenges of technology use among individuals with ASD can inform the design of such interventions. Through 18 interviews with parents, we used an iterative inductive-deductive approach to qualitative analysis and explored uses of technology for social skills development among adolescents with ASD. Our findings include parents' observations about their adolescent's preferences in types of technology devices and digital content, as well as both positive and negative effects of technology use on mood and behavior. Parents highlighted several avenues of technological preferences and risks that may inform intervention design, enhance user engagement, and capitalize on users' strengths while buttressing areas for growth.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate, over 2 separate school years, the school-district-wide failure rate of kindergartners on a screener of grammatical tense marking--the Rice Wexler Test of Early Grammatical Impairment (TEGI) Screening Test (Rice &amp; Wexler, 2001)--composed of past tense (PT) and third-person singular (3S) probes. Method: In the fall of 2 consecutive school years, consented and eligible kindergartners (n = 148 in Year 1, n = 126 in Year 2) in a rural southern school district were administered the TEGI Screening Test. Children who failed the screening test or either of the individual probes (PT or 3S) were administered the Primary Test of Nonverbal Intelligence. All children also completed the Test of Articulation Performance-Screen (Bryant &amp; Bryant, 1983) and, in Year 2, the Get Ready to Read! emergent literacy screener (Whitehurst &amp; Lonigan, 2001). Results: The screening tool outcome most closely and consistently aligned with the recommended failure rate of approximately 30% (Oetting, Gregory, &amp; Rivière, 2016; based on Tomblin et al., 1997) was the TEGI PT probe. TEGI Screening Test and 3S probe failure rates fell below the recommended level. Most children who failed the PT probe demonstrated nonverbal intelligence skills within the average range. In addition, most children who failed the PT probe would not have been readily identified on the basis of only the results of their articulation or emergent literacy screenings. Conclusions: The TEGI PT probe is an efficient and reliable screener that identifies children for monitoring or additional language assessment. Children with language vulnerabilities are not necessarily identified by articulation or emergent literacy screenings at entry to kindergarten. To identify children at risk for language impairment, it is therefore necessary to directly screen oral language.

Chapter 2 of the Biennial Survey of Education in the United States reports on the most fundamental and the largest segment of the educational system in the United States--the public elementary and secondary schools. Data on the organization, staffing, enrollment, and financing of regular full-time public elementary and secondary day schools in the States, the District of Columbia, and the outlying parts of the United States for the school year 1957-58 are provided. A number of tables also give historical data for earlier years--in some cases going back as far as 1869-70. Included in this chapter also are data on the number of full-time nonpublic day schools and on their enrollment and instructional staff. Included for the first time are enrollment data, by state, on demonstration, model, and training schools attached to teachers' colleges or universities. National (but not state) enrollment figures are given for the following types of schools: (1) Federally-operated schools on Federal installations; (2) Federal schools for Indians; and (3) residential schools for exceptional children. Initial tables provide a historical summary of public school statistics; and data on school administrative units and state, local, and regional education agencies. Subsequent tables provide data on a state-by-state basis on the number of school systems, the school age population, enrollment, average daily attendance, high school graduates, instructional staff, and the school lunch program. Concluding tables present data on financing public elementary and secondary school systems, including revenue and nonrevenue receipts for public schools, total expenditures, current expenditures, capital outlays, interest on school debt, status of school bonds, value of school property, average annual salary of instructional staff, and expenditures per pupil.
