Race: Test Efficacy, Test Anxiety And Test Performance
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The psychological element of test performance is no myth; myriad people crumble under the pressure of being tested on their knowledge of a given subject, even if they are fully cognizant of the material in question. The stress the culminates from this perceived pressure often leads one to perform at significantly lower levels of capability, ultimately compromising their final marks. What is being looked at more closely, however, is the issue of race and test performance, inasmuch as stereotype vulnerability serves to predispose ethnic populations to related test anxiety. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Racism & Adolescent Development
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page research paper that examines the effects of racism on adolescents. Adolescence is a crucial period in the "physiological, emotional and cognitive development" of students (Jackson, 2005, p. 203). This is a "defining point" that directly influences both students' perceptions of their identity and their confidence in their ability (Jackson, 2005). Complicating adolescent developmental goals is the fact that racism continues to be a defining factor in American society, particularly in regards to the development of African American adolescents. The effects of racism are manifested in complex, often intertwining, repercussions (Banks, et al, 2001). This examination of literature indicates some of the cognitive, physical and social/psychological effects that racism has on minority adolescents. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Random Public School Searches/Legality
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper that investigates the constitutionality of school searches.

Yet, on the other hand, school officials bear the responsibility of providing safe and orderly environments that promote learning for all their students. It is a delicate balancing act to address both responsibilities in today's school environment. The writer explores these issues, citing several court cases and Supreme Court decisions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
