Intraclass Correlation Values for Planning Group-Randomized Trials in Education
Hedges, Larry V.; Hedberg, E. C.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v29 n1 p60-87 2007
Experiments that assign intact groups to treatment conditions are increasingly common in social research. In educational research, the groups assigned are often schools. The design of group-randomized experiments requires knowledge of the intraclass correlation structure to compute statistical power and sample sizes required to achieve adequate power. This article provides a compilation of intraclass correlation values of academic achievement and related covariate effects that could be used for planning group-randomized experiments in education. It also provides variance component information that is useful in planning experiments involving covariates. The use of these values to compute the statistical power of group-randomized experiments is illustrated. (Contains 11 tables.)
