Help for dissertation research.

by Edna Waller

Jul 24, 2012

If you are a Mississippi middle school or high school teacher I would appreciate your help with a research project that my daughter is engaged in for completion of her doctorate degree. Please read the following information. If you can take 30 minutes of your time and complete this survey, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mississippi Educator, I am a Mississippi native and a doctoral student at Capella University working to receive my Ph.D. in Public Service Leadership. Coming from a family of teachers, I have become very interested in studying school violence prevention programs. I am conducting a research project to study teacher’s perception as to the role environmental factors play in incidents of school violence. To collect data for this study, I will be surveying Mississippi middle and high school teachers (grades 6 -12).

Dear Mississippi Educator, I am a Mississippi native and a doctoral student at Capella University working to receive my Ph.D. in Public Service Leadership. Coming from a family of teachers, I have become very interested in studying school violence prevention programs. I am conducting a research project to study teacher’s perception as to the role environmental factors play in incidents of school violence. To collect data for this study, I will be surveying Mississippi middle and high school teachers (grades 6 -12). This study seeks to determine if the actual physical environment in which students spend the greater part of their day can affect behavior, which in turn, can lead to school violence. The more information provided to educators as to the causes of school violence, the more prepared they will be to both understand and combat the problem. Although this study will focus on environmental factors in middle and high schools in the state of Mississippi, the findings of this study could help educators in other schools across the nation better understand the effect that the physical learning environment has on the health, well being, and learning of children of all ages. This information could also be used by those individuals who plan, design, construct, and maintain school buildings and environments. By improving design or maintenance, school environments could be made safer, less threatening, and more conducive to learning. In order to complete this research, data on the school building condition and incidents of school violence will be needed. I am requesting your assistance in collecting data with the completion of a three part electronic survey. The first section includes a brief demographics survey. In the second section, the current condition of school facilities will be determined by the information you provide through by completing the Revised Commonwealth Assessment of Physical Environment (CAPE) facilities assessment instrument. In the third section, the level of school violence within your schools will be determined by your responses on the completion of the Teacher Survey of School Violence instrument. The total survey consists of 47 questions and should take approximately 30-50 minutes to complete. The names of the participating schools or participating teachers will not be identified in this study. You will not be asked to identify yourself or your school. I have attached a link to the online survey at MonkeySurvey.com below. Please take a few minutes to review the consent form and complete the survey by clicking the link below. Your responses are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or require clarification, please email me at [email removed]:
