VerBruggen, Robert – Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2022
The Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the legality of racial preferences, in part thanks to a lawsuit against Harvard College alleging that the school discriminates against Asian-Americans. Proving discrimination at a specific school is an arduous task, requiring access to private, detailed admissions records--as the legal documents in that…

Michelle, Richards-Babb; Curtis, Reagan; Ratcliff, Betsy; Roy, Abhik; Mikalik, Taylor – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
We investigated whether use of an adaptive-responsive online homework system (OHS) that tailors homework to students' prior knowledge and periodically reassesses students to promote learning through practice retrieval has inherent advantages over traditional-responsive online homework. A quasi-experimental cohort control post-test-only design with…

Ziegelmeier, Lori B.; Topaz, Chad M. – PRIMUS, 2015
Flipping the classroom refers to moving lectures outside of the classroom to incorporate other activities into a class during its standard meeting time. This pedagogical modality has recently gained traction as a way to center the learning on students in mathematics classrooms. In an effort to better understand the efficacy of this approach, we…

Walsh, Vonda K.; Bush, H. Francis – Contemporary Issues in Education Research, 2013
Problem-based learning has been proven to be successful in both medical colleges and physics classes, but not uniformly across all disciplines. A college course in probability and statistics was used as a setting to test the effectiveness of problem-based learning when applied to homework. This paper compares the performances of the students from…

LaRose, P. Gavin – PRIMUS, 2010
In this study we examine the introduction of on-line homework to a Calculus II course as a replacement for ungraded pencil-and-paper homework assignments. We consider how this had an impact on students' performance in the course, on student behavior in completing the assigned work, and on student attitudes toward it. We find that students working…

Doorn, David J.; Janssen, Susan; O'Brien, Maureen – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2010
Over the past two decades there has been increasing movement toward the use of computers and the internet in conjunction with many courses across the educational spectrum. In addition to having consequences for course delivery, both inside and outside of the classroom, this movement has had an impact on the coursework that is required of students.…

Duckworth, Angela L.; Quinn, Patrick D.; Tsukayama, Eli – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
The increasing prominence of standardized testing to assess student learning motivated the current investigation. We propose that standardized achievement test scores assess competencies determined more by intelligence than by self-control, whereas report card grades assess competencies determined more by self-control than by intelligence. In…

Xia, Nailing – RAND Corporation, 2010
There is considerable debate about the relative importance of family versus school factors in producing academic and nonacademic student outcomes, and whether and how their impacts vary across different student groups. In addition to critically reviewing and synthesizing earlier work, this study extends the literature by (a) using the ECLS-K, a…

Stiles, John – Educational Leadership, 1992
Survey showed that U.S. students in international schools for children of expatriates received more failing grades than European or Asian students. U.S. students also spent less time on homework and less time with their families than did European or Asian students. Non-U.S. students are generally more at ease around adults, whereas American…

Carpenter, Dick M., II; Ramirez, Al – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2007
The achievement gap, traditionally measured by test scores, also can be documented by dropout behavior. Examining dropout behavior among Black, White, and Hispanic students, with a particular focus on gaps within groups and not just between Whites and minorities, shows a clearer picture of the achievement gap. The results of our study show…
