| Abstract | Patrick Kent McCrary. THE IMPACT OF ATTENDANCE ON ACHIEVEMEN T IN THREE NORTHWEST GEORGIA MIDDLE SCHOOLS. (Under the direction of Dr . Constance Pearson, School of Education, September 2010). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of attendance on achievement in three northwest Georgia middle schools. The seventh grade students were divided int o two groups. One group was considered non-truant, missing fifteen or less days of s chool, according to the county attendance protocol, and the other group was considered truant, missing 16 or more days, according to the county attendance protocol. The purpose was to determine if there was a statistically significant disparity bet we n the non-truant and truant students on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test scores measur ed by a t-test. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the scores of t he two groups. The overall Criterion-Referenced Competency Test score, as well a those in the domains of Numbers and Operations and Algebra showed a significant difference in the results. Therefore, the null hypothesizes were rejected. The scores in the domains of Geometry and Data Analysis and Probability did not show a significant differe nc in the results. Therefore, the null hypothesizes were accepted. |
