Lorette, Pernelle – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Quantitative social scientists have adopted the positivist epistemology and methodology of natural sciences, seeking objectivity, generalisability, and neutrality. However, in social sciences -- unlike in natural sciences -- humans are both the investigators and the object of investigation, leading to intricate interconnections between researchers…

Philip Ezekiel Dakwo; Yagmur Cerkez; Engin Baysen – SAGE Open, 2023
Every sport requires players to practice constantly to develop skills and the zeal to become a perfect player increases based on the players' anxiety-performance level. This makes humor styles of players a significant counterweight to the severity associated with anxiety-performance in basketball learning practices. As a result, the study aimed to…

Craig K. Enders – Grantee Submission, 2023
The year 2022 is the 20th anniversary of Joseph Schafer and John Graham's paper titled "Missing data: Our view of the state of the art," currently the most highly cited paper in the history of "Psychological Methods." Much has changed since 2002, as missing data methodologies have continually evolved and improved; the range of…

Mathematics anxiety (MA) has a debilitating impact on learning, achievement, mental health, and the future career life of students. Though MA is a popular research theme, there is little agreement among researchers regarding the cross-cultural effect of gender. The purpose of this paper was to explore the perceived MA differences among males and…

Allanson, Patricia E.; Notar, Charles E. – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2020
This article discusses the basics of the "4 scales of measurement" and how they are applicable to research or everyday tools of life. To do this you will be able to list and describe the four types of scales of measurement used in quantitative research; provide examples of uses of the four scales of measurement; and determine the…

Shen, Zuchao; Kelcey, Benjamin – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
Conventional optimal design frameworks consider a narrow range of sampling cost structures that thereby constrict their capacity to identify the most powerful and efficient designs. We relax several constraints of previous optimal design frameworks by allowing for variable sampling costs in cluster-randomized trials. The proposed framework…

Bi, Henry H. – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
Although teachers at many colleges and universities receive regular performance reviews (e.g. annual reviews), there are no absolute standards regarding what teaching performance in terms of teaching evaluation ratings during the review period is satisfactory. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a new two-step approach to construct…

Sengül Avsar, Asiye – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
In order to reach valid and reliable test scores, various test theories have been developed, and one of them is nonparametric item response theory (NIRT). Mokken Models are the most widely known NIRT models which are useful for small samples and short tests. Mokken Package is useful for Mokken Scale Analysis. An important issue about validity is…

Iannario, Maria; Manisera, Marica; Piccolo, Domenico; Zuccolotto, Paola – Sociological Methods & Research, 2020
In analyzing data from attitude surveys, it is common to consider the "don't know" responses as missing values. In this article, we present a statistical model commonly used for the analysis of responses/evaluations expressed on Likert scales and extended to take into account the presence of don't know responses. The main objective is to…

El Sherif, Reem; Langlois, Alexis; Pandu, Xiao; Nie, Jian-Yun; Thomas, James; Hong, Quan Nha; Pluye, Pierre – Education for Information, 2020
Mixed studies reviews include empirical studies with diverse designs (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods). To make the process of identifying relevant empirical studies for such reviews more efficient, we developed a mixed filter that included different keywords and subject headings for quantitative (e.g., cohort study), qualitative…

Liu, Xiaofeng Steven; Shin, Hyejo Hailey – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2020
Computer simulation can be used to demonstrate why the unbiased sample variance uses degrees of freedom (n-1). This is first demonstrated for sampling from a normal random variable, and in additional simulations for some selected non-normal random variables, namely, chi-square and binomial.

The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a multicycle survey of adult skills and competencies sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The survey examines a range of basic skills in the information age and assesses these adult skills consistently across participating…

Mohammad, Nagham; McGivern, Lucinda – Online Submission, 2020
In regression analysis courses, there are many settings in which the response variable under study is continuous, strictly positive, and right skew. This type of response variable does not adhere to the normality assumptions underlying the traditional linear regression model, and accordingly may be analyzed using a generalized linear model…

Zhao, Siqian; Wang, Chunpai; Sahebi, Shaghayegh – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Students acquire knowledge as they interact with a variety of learning materials, such as video lectures, problems, and discussions. Modeling student knowledge at each point during their learning period and understanding the contribution of each learning material to student knowledge are essential for detecting students' knowledge gaps and…

Wu, Edward; Gagnon-Bartsch, Johann A. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
In paired experiments, participants are grouped into pairs with similar characteristics, and one observation from each pair is randomly assigned to treatment. The resulting treatment and control groups should be well-balanced; however, there may still be small chance imbalances. Building on work for completely randomized experiments, we propose a…
