Fowler  \nIntroduction  \nRecently, the federal government put an emphasis on the education of military children as part of  \nthe Joining Forces initiative (The White House, n.d.). The mission of Joining Forces is “to  \nsupport those who also serve: military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors”(The  \nWhite House, n.d.). According to the Joining Forces website, the intent is to “advance  \nprogramming to support military-connected children in their classrooms, and help ease the  \nburdens created by the highly mobile military lifestyle”(The White House, n.d.) . The United  \nStates Department of Education also has a mission statement of note: “Our mission is to promote  \nstudent achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational  \nexcellence and ensuring equal access”(U.S. Department of Education, n.d.) . Considering these  \ntwo mission statements, an analysis of recent peer-reviewed articles was deemed necessary to  \ndetermine the breadth of the existing research on the academic performance of highly mobile,  \nmilitary-connected students. The content analysis herein addresses this question: “Since 2001, to what extent have relevant research journals published articles regarding the effects, if any, on the  \nacademic performance levels of elementary-aged students in the first through fifth grades who  \nexperience high-frequency mobility from being military-connected?”  \nBackground  \nChange is a constant in the life of military-connected students. Change typically comes for a  \nmilitary-connected family due to either the service member’s permanent change of station  \n(PCS)—where the service member is assigned to a new location—or due to the deployment of  \nthe service member. A PCS will bring about a school transition for any school-aged children in  \nthe family. According to a 2021 report released by the U. S. Government Accountability Office  \n(GAO), there are approximately 650,000 K-12 military-connected students that attend schools  \nwithin the United States, and 80% of these students attend public schools (National Academies  \nof Science, Engineering, and Medicine, 2019) . Due to national security needs, these students’  \nparents will move every few years causing the students to experience a school change up t","cbCaikKW75vY4Jh1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikKW75vY4Jh1","pdf",311102,10,"English","# Introduction\n# Background\n# Methodology","[{\"question\":\"What research question does the content analysis address?\",\"answer\":\"Since 2001, how extensively have relevant research journals published articles about the effects, if any, of high-frequency mobility on the academic performance of elementary students in grades 1–5 who are military-connected.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are military-connected students more likely to experience frequent relocation?\",\"answer\":\"Changes often occur due to permanent change of station (PCS) and deployment, which can require school transitions.
