A quantitative correlational study examining the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on in-class behaviors and academic performance among special education students

Purpose: To analyze the relationship between ACEs on in-class behaviors and academic performance among special education students

Problem: The impacts of ACEs lead to lower academic performance among special education students

RQ: What is the relationship between in-class behaviors and academic performance

Analyses: Pearson's correlation coefficient (r)

Pearsons R is used to demonstrate whether two variables are correlated or related to each other. When using Pearson's correlation coefficient, the two variables in question must be continuous, not categorical.
