Relationship between Hope and Academic Achievement
Deanna S. Fosness
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Educational research is ubiquitous; however, agreement on best practices is not. Although parents, teachers, students, and communities have a vested interest in students' success, varying practices of what is taught, how it is taught, and to whom it is taught are still debated. This study expands upon work done by Dr. Scott Wurdinger and Dr. Ron Newell in which their research shows that student hope and NWEA math and reading scores appear to be correlated. To expand upon those results, demographic information was used to see if a difference exists amongst dichotomized groups. The results indicate that the difference in medians are the same for all groups with the exception of the median change in reading between male and female students.
