Conducting a Parametric Independent Samples t-test is Chapter 4 of Calculating Basic Statistical Procedures in SPSS: A Self-Help and Practical Guide to Preparing Theses, Dissertations, and Manuscripts, authored by John R. Slate and Ana Rojas-LeBouef from Sam Houston State University. This book is written to assist graduate students and faculty members, as well as undergraduate students, in their use of the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences-PC (SPSS-PC) versions 15-19. Specifically, we have generated a set of steps and screenshots to depict each important step in conducting basic statistical analyses. We believe that this book supplements existing statistical texts in which readers are informed about the statistical underpinnings of basic statistical procedures and in which definitions of terms are provided. Accordingly, other than providing a few basic definitions, we assume that dissertation chairs/thesis directors, students, and/or faculty will obtain their own definition of terms. We hope you find this set of steps and screenshots to be helpful as you use SPSS-PC in conducting basic statistical analyses.

The authors examined the college-ready graduate rates of two groups of students in the state of Texas for the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 school years: students classified as Limited English Proficient and students receiving special education services. Data from a state-mandated exit test administered to 11th graders revealed disturbingly low percentages of both groups of students who were college-ready in reading and math. Statistically significant differences were present in these subject areas among these groups of students. Implications for educational leaders are discussed.

[Expand Summary]
In this study, the researchers examined the extent to which student-to-teacher ratios and per pupil expenditures differed for at-risk students as a function of being enrolled either at a traditional school or being enrolled at an academic alternative education center. Data, collected from the Texas Education Agency Academic Excellence Indicator System, were analyzed across the State of Texas over the 2004–2005 and 2005–2006 academic school years. Statistically significant differences were yielded in student-to-teacher ratios and per pupil expenditures for both school years between the two groups of at-risk students. Alternative education campuses had higher per pupil expenditures than did traditional high schools with large at-risk populations. Implications of these findings are discussed.

[Expand Summary]
Community colleges in the 21st century fill a variety of important educational roles. Because of their geographic accessibility, open-door admission policies, and affordable tuition, community colleges also attract a diverse group of students. Researchers who have conducted retention studies on students of color have indicated that it is not only the educational institution’s responsibility to ensure success, but also the responsibilities of others (e.g., students, family, school administrators, faculty members, and staff) to ensure student success. Lack of education among students of color will continue to create inequality within the workforce in the United States. Thus, included in this review of the literature are discussions of the impact minority growth will have in the United States, the implications of growth on society, the impact of growth on student retention, Black students, Hispanic students, and the factors affecting student retention. A discussion of several studies on the need to improve minority retention is also included.
