This paper reports the results of a meta‐analysis in which dynamic model educational effectiveness is used as framework to search for school factors associated with student achievement. The methods and synthesis 67 studies are presented. Findings reveal that effective schools able develop policies take actions order improve their teaching practice learning environment. Factors excluded from were found be only weakly outcomes. Implications research on improvement drawn. It illustrated this...
Significance Controlling the dynamics of excitons—including their transport, fission, fusion, and free carrier generation—presents a central challenge in energy science, optoelectronics, photobiology. We develop coupling-pathway theory for triplet transfer, process controlled by structure medium between donor acceptor sites, find two competing coupling pathway mechanisms. At shorter distances or high tunneling gaps, electron hole move sequentially from to acceptor, accessing donor–acceptor...
This paper argues that Educational Effectiveness Research (EER) should establish closer links with research on teacher professional development. A dynamic integrated approach (DIA) to development is proposed. The methods and results of a study comparing the impact DIA Holistic Approach (HA) are presented. Teaching skills 130 teachers achievement their students (n = 2356) were measured at beginning end intervention. Teachers found be certain developmental stage randomly allocated evenly into...

This paper refers to the Dynamic Integrated Approach (DIA) towards teacher professional development, which attempts merge research findings on effectiveness and development. The theoretical framework major features of DIA are presented. It is argued that can be effectively implemented through five steps: establishing clarity consensus about aims objectives; identifying needs priorities for improvement empirical investigation; provision guidelines, reflection opportunities coaching effective...
We explore Dexter coupling pathway interferences in non-covalent assemblies, employing a method that enables the assessment of strengths, interferences, and their physical origins context one-particle two-particle (<italic>i.e.</italic>, coulombic) operators.
This paper refers to the dynamic approach school improvement (DASI) which attempts contribute merging of educational effectiveness research and improvement. The main underlying assumptions implementation phases DASI are discussed. Moreover, a study aiming compare impact in helping schools reduce bullying is presented. results reveal that has stronger on improving factors reducing than other approaches Suggestions for further investigating sustainability provided policy implications drawn.
This paper argues that research on teacher professional development could be integrated with validated theoretical models of educational effectiveness (EER). A dynamic integratedapproach (DIA) to is proposed. The methods and results a study comparing the impact DIA Holistic - Reflective Approach (HA) are presented. Teaching skills perceptions teaching 130 teachers achievement their students (n=2356) were measured at beginning end intervention. Teachers found certain developmental stage...
Research evidence suggests school self-evaluation with the participation of stakeholders could improve teaching and learning. Identification use appropriate frameworks, however, is not an easy task for schools. Such a framework, LEAD School Effectiveness Surveys, has been developed by Independent Schools Victoria in Australia. The suite stakeholder surveys enables schools to evaluate their overall effectiveness several domains make informed decisions improvement. This article evaluates...
A UV-IR-Vis 3-pulse study of infra-red induced changes to electron transfer (ET) rates in a donor–bridge–acceptor species finds that charge-separation are slowed, while charge-recombination accelerated as result IR excitation during the reaction.
During the last 25 years researchers have proposed a number of conceptual frameworks to measure various functions instructional leadership. One most frequently used is Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS). Despite great studies employing PIMRS, evidence for its reliability and validity relatively limited. In addition, we still don’t know much about extent which this instrument could be in diverse demographic cultural educational settings. This study explores content, face,...

This paper presents the results of a study investigating short- and long-term effects secondary schools upon student academic success development. A questionnaire was administered to randomly selected sample 15% Cypriot students who graduated in June 2004 2005 from schools. good response rate (i.e., 66%) obtained. For each criterion measuring school effects, separate multilevel analysis conducted. The provide evidence for statistically significant on students' at university entrance exams...
Purpose This paper aims to describe the findings of a study investigating relationships between teacher attitudes teaching mathematics, self-efficacy, student achievement and job satisfaction in Taiwan. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 110 fifth grade primary school teachers their students ( n = 2,334) 10 years old. A questionnaire criterion-reference test mathematics distributed during academic year 2016–2017. The data analysed using confirmatory factor analysis stepwise...
This paper presents findings from research exploring gender by item difficulty interaction on mathematics test scores in Cyprus. Data steamed 2 longitudinal studies with 4 different age groups of primary school students. The hypothesis that boys tended to outperform girls the hardest items and easiest was generally supported for each year group. effect social class also examined. For class, there a correlation between differences estimated separately whole sample. It is claimed understanding...
