Baseline Covariates

This article examines how controlling statistically for baseline covariates, especially pretests, improves the precision of studies that randomize schools to measure the impacts of educational interventions on student achievement. Empirical findings from five urban school districts indicate that (1) pretests can reduce the number of randomized schools needed for a given level of precision to about half of what would be needed otherwise for elementary schools, one fifth for middle schools, and one tenth for high schools, and (2) school-level pretests are as effective in this regard as student-level pretests. Furthermore, the precision-enhancing power of pretests (3) declines only slightly as the number of years between the pretest and posttests increases; (4) improves only slightly with pretests for more than 1 baseline year; and (5) is substantial, even when the pretest differs from the posttest. The article compares these findings with past research and presents an approach for quantifying their uncertainty.

The purpose of this research is to study the influence parental involvement on student achievement in high schools in NongChok District, Bangkok, Thailand. To compare the level of parental involvement on the student achievement and to analyze the influence of parental involvement and education policy on the student achievement, it is classified by demographic factors.The population in this study are parents whose the children are currently studying in the public high schools in NongChok district, Bangkok, Thailand. The sampling process was determined by using a non-random sampling method. The calculated sampling size was 210 samples. Data were collected through the structured questionnaire whose the reliability was 0.88. The statistic used in the research were the descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and Standard Deviation), One-way ANOVA, and Multiple Linear Regression. The result indicated that 60.5 percent of respondents were married mothers (79.5 percent), had received high schools or equal (51.4 percent), work as employees (43.8 percent), earn below or equal to 150,000 Baht per year (44.3 percent), and work less than or equal to 8 hours per day (71.9 percent).The hypotheses testing showed that the parents have various involvements in the students’ education process. The type of the parents also had a statistically significant influence on the students’ achievement at 0.01 level. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis found that the education policy had significantly affected the students’ achievement at 0.01 level, while the parental involvement had no statistically significant relationship with the students’ achievement. Moreover, the estimated equation can predict the studens’t achievement is at 28.4%.

This study aims to see whether there is an influence on teacher performance and the utilization of learning resources on student achievement in the field of Islamic Education in Private Junior High Schools in the Bukit Raya District of Pekanbaru City. The population in this study were all VII grade students of Private Junior High Schools in the Bukit Raya District of Pekanbaru, which amounted to 323 people. The sample in this study was taken by proportionate random sampling technique with Slovin formula that is 173 people. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire technique, the data collected was analyzed using multiple regression analysis namely Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2. The results of this study indicate the value of R2 (coefficient of determination) or R Square of 0.284 or 28.4%. This value can be interpreted that changes in student achievement by changes in the value of the independent variable teacher performance and the utilization of learning resources by 28.4% while 71.6% is determined by changes in other factors. Tcount value for learning motivation variable is 3.529 with sig. 0.001 smaller than 0.05 this means that there is an influence of teacher performance on student achievement and tcount for the utilization of learning resources variable is 3,659 with sig. 0,000 is less than 0.05, this means that there is an influence of the use of learning resources on student achievement. It can be concluded that there is an influence between teacher performance and the utilization of learning resources on student achievement in the field of Islamic Education in Private Junior High Schools in the Bukit Raya District of Pekanbaru City.
