Direct linkSpybrook, Jessaca; Zhang, Qi; Kelcey, Ben; Dong, Nianbo – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2020
Over the past 15 years, we have seen an increase in the use of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) to test the efficacy of educational interventions. These studies are often designed with the goal of determining whether a program works, or answering the what works question. Recently, the goals of these studies expanded to include for whom and under…

Dong, Nianbo; Kelcey, Benjamin; Spybrook, Jessaca – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Researchers are often interested in whether the effects of an intervention differ conditional on individual- or group-moderator variables such as children's characteristics (e.g., gender), teacher's background (e.g., years of teaching), and school's characteristics (e.g., urbanity); that is, the researchers seek to examine for whom and under what…

Westine, Carl D.; Unlu, Fatih; Taylor, Joseph; Spybrook, Jessaca; Zhang, Qi; Anderson, Brent – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Experimental research in education and training programs typically involves administering treatment to whole groups of individuals. As such, researchers rely on the estimation of design parameter values to conduct power analyses to efficiently plan their studies to detect desired effects. In this study, we present design parameter estimates from a…

Spybrook, Jessaca – Journal of Experimental Education, 2014
The Institute of Education Sciences has funded more than 100 experiments to evaluate educational interventions in an effort to generate scientific evidence of program effectiveness on which to base education policy and practice. In general, these studies are designed with the goal of having adequate statistical power to detect the average…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Puente, Anne Cullen; Lininger, Monica – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
This article examines changes in the research design, sample size, and precision between the planning phase and implementation phase of group randomized trials (GRTs) funded by the Institute of Education Sciences. Thirty-eight GRTs funded between 2002 and 2006 were examined. Three studies revealed changes in the experimental design. Ten studies…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Raudenbush, Stephen W. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2009
This article examines the power analyses for the first wave of group-randomized trials funded by the Institute of Education Sciences. Specifically, it assesses the precision and technical accuracy of the studies. The authors identified the appropriate experimental design and estimated the minimum detectable standardized effect size (MDES) for each…
