SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The purpose of this quantitative correlational research was to assess the extent to which preK-12th-grade (male and female) educators' beliefs and knowledge regarding grade-level retention are related to their teaching experience, and grade level taught, at an international school located in the UAE, and whether the relationship patterns by gender were similar to the pattern for the whole sample. The theoretical framework for this study was provided by Guided by Dewey's theory of experience. Three research questions addressed the statistical significance of the bivariate correlations among the variables of interest computed on the entire dataset and on the male and female subsamples of educators. The study was conducted with a convenience sample of 89 educators, out of a target population of 338, who completed the Teacher Retention Beliefs and Knowledge Questionnaire. The results of Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis showed no statistically significant relationships of preK-12th-grade (male and female) educators' beliefs and knowledge regarding grade-level retention with their teaching experience and grade level taught. These findings may be used in the development of programs and policies to reduce grade-level retention at the international school where the study was conducted.
