We examine the relationship between district level student achievement and teacher average salary in Ohio from academic year 2013-14 to academic year 2018-19. Utilizing panel data, the following district level characteristics were controlled for: average teacher experience, average teacher degree-level, student socioeconomic status, race, student attendance rate, pupil support expenditure per equivalent pupil and administration expenditure per equivalent pupil. Using a random effects regression our findings suggest that higher pay can impact student growth. When we partition our sample quintiles by poverty level, we find that teacher salary is only significant for the top quintiles. Our results suggest that for some districts (i.e., wealthy districts) teacher salaries’ impact on student performance is something that can be controlled, for other districts (i.e., poorer districts), teacher salary is another variable that shows no relationship to student performance.

Increased spending and decreased student performance have been attributed in part to teachers' unions and to the collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) they negotiate with school boards. However, only recently have researchers begun to examine impacts of specific aspects of CBAs on student and district outcomes. This article uses a unique measure of contract restrictiveness generated through the use of a partial independence item response model to examine the relationships between CBA strength and district spending on multiple areas and district-level student performance in California. I find that districts with more restrictive contracts have higher spending overall, but that this spending appears not to be driven by greater compensation for teachers but by greater expenditures on administrators' compensation and instruction-related spending. Although districts with stronger CBAs spend more overall and on these categories, they spend less on books and supplies and on school board–related expenditures. In addition, I find that contract restrictiveness is associated with lower average student performance, although not with decreased achievement growth.

The purpose of the study is to explore the influence of teaching evaluations on teachers in that they might try to please their students by giving higher grades in order to get higher teaching evaluation scores. To achieve this purpose, the study analyzed the correlations between teaching evaluation scores, student’s final grades and course fail rates, and it also examined whether students’ final scores and course fail rates are important predictors of teaching evaluation scores. The study used teaching evaluation scores and students’ final grades of the courses offered in the fall term of academic year 2014 and the spring term of academic year 2015 in one university in Taiwan as research samples. The results showed that both student’s final grades and course fail rates are predictors of teaching evaluation scores. There is a positive correlation between teaching evaluation scores and students’ final grades, and a negative correlation between teaching evaluation scores and course fail rates. Based on the findings, the study inferred that the implementation of teaching evaluations may influence teachers to give better grades and lower course requirements to please their students in order to get higher teaching evaluation scores.

New federal regulations (State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators) place increased pressure on states and local public school districts to improve their measurement and reporting of gaps in teacher qualifications across schools and the children they serve. Yet a sole focus on resource disparities between schools within a state ignores an important driver of those disparities: district-level spending variations, particularly when accounting for differences in student populations. The analyses herein evaluate connections between district and school level spending measures and teacher equity measures (such as salary competitiveness and staff: student ratios), and specifically whether inequality in “access to excellent educators” at the school level is greater in states where funding inequalities between school districts are greater. We find that district spending variation explains an important, policy relevant share of school staffing expenditures in 13 states. In many states, including Illinois and New York, a nearly 1:1 relationship exists between district spending variation and school site spending variation. In California, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, district spending is positively associated with competitive salary differentials, average teacher salaries, and numbers of certificated staff per 100 pupils. In each of these states, district poverty rates are negatively associated with competitive salary differentials, average teacher salaries and numbers of certified staff per 100 pupils. As such, regulatory intervention without more substantive changes to state school finance systems, addressing district-level inequities, will likely achieve little. Current federal policy pressures state education agencies to report and attempt to regulate inequities that arise because of school finance systems over which those agencies have no direct influence. Our analysis suggests that the administration would be more likely to meet its goals if it attempted to more directly address state school finance system disparities, placing pressure on state legislatures to equitably and adequately fund schools, and following through with the requirement that state-to-district equity provisions translate into district-to-school equity.

Lecture recording is the process of capturing the visual and/or audio aspects of a lecture for students to access at their own convenience. Recorded lectures have the potential to benefit student learning through making lecture content more accessible, however effects on student attendance, attainment and engagement are debated. This is of particular interest to professional degrees, which teach to standards set by professional bodies and have limited control over curriculum content. The aim of this study was to explore student and staff use and opinion of lecture recording over an academic year in a professional degree to see how patterns of use may change after lecture recording becomes common place. Four students provided longitudinal blogs over the academic year (four blogs per students) which were thematically coded. Student use of lecture recording changed over the academic year, and was sensitive to the structure of the veterinary programme. Concurrently, semi-structured interviews with staff members highlighted frustrations with lecture recording technology and a perceived lack of flexibility due to recording. Guidance and support is needed to help staff and students to overcome these problems.

Improving the quality of learning is one of the things that must be achieved in the college academic process. To achieve this, monitoring and evaluation of the results of the learning process is needed, namely by looking at student performance. Based on this, the research aims to develop a university data warehouse with student performance objects that will be used by the board application for the monitoring process. The application was successfully developed with several main features, namely: a) displaying the number of students based on year, region and the entrance to college, b) displaying a comparison of the number of students in each academic year based on student status , d) display student performance every academic year and e) KPI values based on needs analysis. These features have been tested using the blackbox approach and the test results show that the features work properly and produce outputs in corresponding to the test scenario.

Attendance in educational institutions is an important thing that is always a common concern, attendance is used to measure student performance or seriousness in taking education. Klabat University as an Educational institution, in this case at the Faculty of Computer Science. Trying to manage attendance as well as possible to get information that is fast, precise and accurate. with this information about attendance, this institution can find out what things need to be improved and what things should be limited, or what decisions must be made for student success, which are related to attendance. The need for attendance reports at the Computer Faculty of Klabat University is urgently needed. Currently attendance report are still using paper, and the process for creating the report are by manual input one by one for generating the report. This research will create an application that runs on the Android operating system and this application will later be accessed with an Android-based smartphone with a student ID card barcode scan feature, as a marker of student attendance, so the report can be generated automatically into the system. The research model or method used is the Prototyping method. Prototyping design models are made faster so that the time needed for system development is shorter. This characteristic is very suitable with the needs of the existing system that only requires a short time in its development. The tools that will be used by researcher are MIT App Inventor to build an Android applications. For the purposes of real time reports of student attendance, researcher will use Google apps as a data storage facility and as a means for generating reports. The results of this study are expected to create an android-based mobile application that in real time can send student attendance data that can be accessed directly anytime and anywhere in the form of attendance report data. For future development, researcher may suggest to use other method than barcode scanning. RFID or NFC tag supported for student ID Card can be use for attendance check.

This article presents work undertaken in the 2010-2011 academic year at two international campuses of Nottingham University. Although the data was shared after seven years, it is believed the findings have implications for the present time. The primary aim of this study was to compare the use of podcasts against traditional lectures on student learning of a course designed for Bachelors of Engineering (BEng) and Masters of Engineering (MEng) students majoring in chemical engineering, and chemical and environmental engineering. The campus based in the UK (UNUK) taught the module using a conventional “chalk-and-talk” approach whilst the other in Malaysia (UNMC) used electronic lectures (podcasts) to deliver the taught component of the module. The same assessment (exam and coursework) was used in both campuses to measure the differences in effectiveness of the two approaches. The comparison found that the mode of delivery has no obvious effect on the academic performance of the students for both coursework and exam components, however, the electronic lecture approach was found to have a negative impact on student attendance on campus.
