“…The AMS questions were not normally distributed as assessed by visual inspection of histograms, as well as skewness and kurtosis scores. Descriptive statistics and the use of ordinal data for this study supported the use of nonparametric methods, which are free from statistical distribution assumptions (Emerson, 2017;Kero & Lee, 2016;Patle, Libang, & Ahuja, 2016). Median scores were calculated for each of the AMS subscales.…”

Grounded in the self-determination theory, this exploratory quantitative study investigated motivational profiles of bachelor’s degree seeking students at an online, for-profit university. Cluster analysis revealed two distinct motivational profiles (internally and externally regulated) of 158 students enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program. The significant differences between the two profiles offers support for the multidimensional nature of motivation as argued by self-determination theory. A chi-square test of independence revealed a significant association between motivational profile membership and gender. No associations were found between motivational profile membership and age. The results offer insights into the motivations of bachelor’s degree seeking students attending an online, for-profit university. Over two-thirds of the students in this study exhibited high external forms of motivation. It is recommended practitioners employ methods to increase autonomous forms of motivation in the online, for-profit educational setting. Understanding student motivations to graduate may help administrators, curriculum designers, and instructors develop focused interventions and best practices that could be used to increase graduation rates.

“…Missing data were not included in statistical analyses, and descriptive statistics were obtained for answers to each question of the pre-/ posttests. Likert-scaled elements (Emerson, 2017) from Section 1 of the pre-/posttests were summarized by calculating median scores of all items, and prior to the calculations, a Cronbach's alpha measurement (Bonett & Wright, 2014) of .741 was obtained to ensure internal consistency of the scale. The Mann−Whitney U test was conducted to examine the nonparametric variables from Section 1 of the pre-/posttests, and a Wilcoxon test was used to determine if a significant change in scores from the related samples occurred for Section 2; a limit for statistical significance for all analyses was identified as p less than .05.…”

Introduction: Morbidity and mortality rates among Dominican children are a serious health concern worsened by a lack of preventive care that hinders early identification and avoidance of illnesses. The purpose of this study was to improve health outcomes in Dominican children by implementing a well-child examination (WCE) protocol entitled "Watch Me Grow." Methods: A quantitative, descriptive methodology was used. Twelve adults involved in pediatric care with the Foundation for Peace organization in the Dominican Republic were designated to receive WCE protocol education, and 159 children received WCEs and health promotion teaching. Results: No statistically significant improvement in WCE knowledge was noted. The most common abnormal findings were unhealthy weight (47.8%), dental caries (46.5%), low vision (17.0%), and elevated blood pressure (15.7%). Discussion: The WCE protocol facilitated early identification of many pediatric health concerns and may help diminish the potential future impact of illnesses on Dominican children.

“…Students were asked to self-evaluate their competence in areas identified earlier using a Likert scale [3], where 5 represents the highest degree of proficiency, and 1 the lowest. Each area was broken down into subcategories to better evaluate specific outcomes.…”

This study examines student educational outcomes from working on prosthetic limb design inside and outside of the classroom. The Helping Hand Project (HHP) is a nonprofit organization that builds custom prosthetic devices for children with amputations. The HHP does so through the involvement of students working in an extracurricular club, and by partnering with the Design and Manufacturing II course, a class open to 3rd year engineering undergraduates in the UNC & NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. In this study, student outcomes, which include technical skills, design ability, teamwork, and business skills, were surveyed before and after building prosthetic devices either in or out of the classroom. This will aid in identifying where students perceive the value in such an activity and allow comparisons between in and out of classroom settings. Survey results from students in the design class on average improve in each category, whereas students in the extracurricular club activities saw improvement only in the technical and design skills categories. In each category, the design students saw on average a greater increase in confidence.
