Donovan, Matthew C. J.; Tracy, Sarah J. – Communication Education, 2017
Communication activism pedagogy (CAP) is rooted in many of the same ideals as participatory action research (e.g., attending to issues of social inequality and oppression with the goal of enacting social change). Not only does participatory action serve an important role in taking research outside of the ivory tower, but also it notably gives…

Fikis, David R. J.; Oshima, T. C. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
Purification of the test has been a well-accepted procedure in enhancing the performance of tests for differential item functioning (DIF). As defined by Lord, purification requires reestimation of ability parameters after removing DIF items before conducting the final DIF analysis. IRTPRO 3 is a recently updated program for analyses in item…

Zhang, Chan; Lonn, Steven; Teasley, Stephanie D. – Field Methods, 2017
Cumulative evidence is mixed regarding the effect of lottery incentives on survey participation; little is known about why this strategy sometimes works and other times fails. We examined two factors that can influence the effectiveness of lottery incentives as suggested by leverage-salience theory: emphasis of survey attributes in invitations and…

Zembylas, Michalinos – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2017
This paper follows recent debates around theorizations of "affect" and its distinction from "emotion" in the context of non-representational theories (NRT) to exemplify how the ontologization of affects creates important openings of ethical and political potential in educators' efforts to make productive interventions in…

Bertucio, Brett – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2017
This essay seeks to contribute to the critical reception of "Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives" by tracing the Taxonomy's underlying philosophical assumptions. Identifying Bloom's work as consistent with the legacy of Cartesian thought, I argue that its hierarchy of behavioral objectives provides a framework for certainty and…

Kara, Yusuf; Kamata, Akihito – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2017
A multilevel Rasch model using a hierarchical generalized linear model is one approach to multilevel item response theory (IRT) modeling and is referred to as a one-parameter hierarchical generalized linear logistic model (1-P HGLLM). Although it has the flexibility to model nested structure of data with covariates, the model assumes the normality…

Garrison, Jim – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
My article is a rejoinder to Gert Biesta's, '"This is My Truth, Tell Me Yours". Deconstructive pragmatism as a philosophy of education.' Biesta attempts to place Jacques Derrida's deconstruction in 'the very heart' of John Dewey's pragmatism (710). My article strives to impress Deweyan pragmatism in the heart of Derridian deconstruction.…

Barrett, Michelle D.; van der Linden, Wim J. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
Linking functions adjust for differences between identifiability restrictions used in different instances of the estimation of item response model parameters. These adjustments are necessary when results from those instances are to be compared. As linking functions are derived from estimated item response model parameters, parameter estimation…

Carlson, James E. – ETS Research Report Series, 2017
In this paper, I consider a set of test items that are located in a multidimensional space, S[subscript M], but are located along a curved line in S[subscript M] and can be scaled unidimensionally. Furthermore, I am demonstrating a case in which the test items are administered across 6 levels, such as occurs in K-12 assessment across 6 grade…

Jonas, Mark E.; Chambers, Drew W. – Educational Theory, 2017
From the late eighteenth through the end of the nineteenth century, educational philosophers and practitioners debated the benefits and shortcomings of the use of emulation in schools. During this period, "emulation" referred to a pedagogy that leveraged comparisons between students as a tool to motivate them to higher achievement. Many…

Leeman, Jennifer; Calancie, Larissa; Kegler, Michelle C.; Escoffery, Cam T.; Herrmann, Alison K.; Thatcher, Esther; Hartman, Marieke A.; Fernandez, Maria E. – Health Education & Behavior, 2017
Public health and other community-based practitioners have access to a growing number of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), and yet EBIs continue to be underused. One reason for this underuse is that practitioners often lack the capacity (knowledge, skills, and motivation) to select, adapt, and implement EBIs. Training, technical assistance, and…

In his focus article, "Rethinking Traditional Methods of Survey Validation" in this v15 n2 2017 issue of "Journal Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives," Andrew Maul writes that it is commonly believed that self-report, survey-based instruments can be used to measure a wide range of psychological attributes,…

Sternberg, Robert J. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
In this article, I discuss how teaching of mathematics can develop and encourage creative thinking, not only in mathematics, but also in general. I begin by discussing creativity as a habit that teachers can help students develop. Then I briefly present the investment theory of creativity. The basic idea of the investment theory is that creative…
