<p>This study explored the relationship between school level and the psychosocial construct of a growth mindset school culture. Data was collected on the What’s My School Mindset (WMSM) Survey from a stratified random sample of PK-12 faculty and administrators (n = 347) in 30 schools across a large northwestern state. The overarching research question was, “Is there a relationship between school level and a school’s growth mindset?” Results revealed a significant decrease in the WMSM mean between elementary school level and high school level participant self-reports. Therefore, the results of this study could be used to create opportunities for faculty dialogue and reflection to changes perspectives, inform future practice, provide realistic ways to implement change by using research-based evidence to challenge assumptions; and give sound reasons for new practices.</p>

The teaching of geometry in the elementary school can be an exciting experience; children are receptive to experimentation, and many activities can be devised to facilitate learning. Generally, however, the use of exploration in geometry decreases as students progress through school and as they begin the study of formal axiomatic systems. In the higher grades we need to present interesting uses of geometry that will allow students to develop their powers of exploration and problem solving. The purpose of this article is to outline an example of how geometry serves as a model in the real world and to suggest how it might be used at the high school level.

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between corruption and economic growth by taking the driving force of education into account. A significant contribution of the education level to the reduction process of corruption is expected to occur. For this reason, the number of those who are convicted of corruption offenses depending on their educational status for Turkey are to be taken into account, whereas the effect of education being a separate variable on growth and corruption will not be considered. In this regard, Vector Error Correction (VECM) model will be used as a method for the years between 1980-2011 and the relationship between corruption and economic growth will be analyzed. The contribution of the study to the literature is to reveal the impact of those who cause corruption depending on their education level on growth by undertaking the education levels separately. According to the empirical findings, considering corruption convicts who are literate but not graduated from a school and those having graduated from primary and secondary education, it was observed that corruption affects growth in a negative way. In contrast, given the corruption crimes which were committed by the graduates of both high school and vocational school at high school level and higher education, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between corruption and economic growth.

The evaluation step in school accreditation process includes eight components of national education standard (SNP). The result of accreditation from the evaluation is believed to explicate the academic achievement of student, in this case is National Examination (UN). Thus, it is necessary to further observe the relation between the accreditation results and the score of national examination. One of the analysis that can be used is regression analysis, it is used to observe the relation between the accreditation result and the sroce of national examination also to identify the SNP components that affect the national examination score. However, since the study was conducted at senior high school level where the national examination score for this level covers six subjects, the analysis used is no longer a simple regression but a multiple variable regression. It is because of the relationship between the score of the national examination that characterizes an academic achievement. The application result of multiple variable regression method shows that there is a relation between SNP and national examination score.

Self-efficacy is based on competencies, this expression basically exists because of many people experience. The truth of that expression should confirm scientifically, for sure. This study aims to confirm the relationship between professional competence and multicultural competencies with the self-efficacy of school counselor in Banjarmasin City. The researcher collected data from 162 school counselor in Banjarmasin city, both those working at the junior high school level and high school / vocational school using the professional competency scale (α = 0.805), multicultural scale (α = 0.889), and school counselor self-efficacy scale (α = 0.899). The results of the study suggest that there is no positive and significant correlation between professional competence and multicultural competence together with the self-efficacy of school counselor (r = 0.006; p <0.05). However, it was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between professional competencies and multicultural school counselor (r = 0.516; p <0.01). Further research needs to check again the relationship between professional and multicultural competencies with school counselor self-efficacy using a wider range and sample size.

In order to examine the relationship between school size and achievement, a study was conducted using longitudinal achievement data from North Carolina for three separate cohorts of public school students (one elementary, one middle and one high school). Results revealed several interactions between size and student characteristics, all of which indicated that the achievement gaps typically existing between certain subgroups (i.e., more versus less-advantaged, lower versus higher-achieving) were larger in larger schools. Results varied across the grade level cohorts and across subjects, but in general effects were more common in mathematics than in reading, and were more pronounced at the high school level. Study results are discussed in the context of educational equity and cost-effectiveness.
