Youmi Suk; Youjin Lee – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background/Context: Some observational studies involve multiple layers of treatment selection, specifically in the context of the extended time accommodation (ETA) for English language learners (ELLs). In ETA settings, the first selection occurs due to the eligibility rule, where students whose ELL English proficiency is below a certain threshold…

Smith, William; Xu, Xiao – European Journal of Education, 2023
After eight years of piloting, China's National Assessment of Education Quality (NAEQ) was administered for the first time in 2015. The NAEQ was introduced during the country's transition from exam-oriented to quality-oriented education. The public, in particular parents and students, were required to subscribe to this reorientation. To ensure…

Downton, Ann; Giumelli, Kerry; McHugh, Barbara; Stenning, Paul – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
The shift from additive to multiplicative thinking is challenging for students. A professional learning program was developed that focused on an identified area of need by teachers, namely multiplicative thinking. Program content focused on concepts underpinning multiplicative thinking, pedagogical approaches, challenging tasks, and application to…

Hiebert, Elfrieda H. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2023
The science of reading has captured the attention of educators, policy makers, and the public. Elfrieda H. Hiebert recounts some of what she's learned from her recent exploration of the topic. She has found that research evidence tends to fall into three categories: research that provides unequivocal conclusions, research that holds promise for…

López, Verónica; Salgado, Mauricio; Berkowitz, Ruth – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2023
Supportive school and classroom climates can add to student achievement and compensate for the negative contribution of low-socioeconomic status (SES) to academic achievement. We tested the added contribution of school and classroom climate to Chilean students' mathematics test scores. We performed a secondary analysis of 151,015 eighth-grade…

Chrystal S. Johnson; Yukiko Maeda; Jennifer Sdunzik; Godwin Gyimah; Razak Dwomoh; Chenchen Lu – Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2023
Charter schools continue to expand, particularly in urban communities. To critique the civic side of charter schools, we applied Wilson's counter-public framework from a macro level to analyze the 2014 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)- Civics results. We employed a multilevel regression model to ascertain whether Black and…

Ferrara, Francesca; Pozio, Stefania – Cognition and Instruction, 2023
In this article, we examine eighth graders' incorrect responses to a specific task on a national standardized assessment of mathematics. The task asked students to write the formula for the perimeter of a given figure as a function of a variable. We focus on incorrect responses to better understand students' difficulties with the algebraic…

Hardy, Ian; Phillips, Louise; Reyes, Vicente; Hamid, M. Obaidul – Comparative Education, 2023
In this article, we contest globalised notions of data as 'universally' beneficial, necessary and 'evidence-based'. We do so by drawing upon narrative accounts of the problematic ways data impact educators researching and working in university and schooling settings over time and in varied national contexts. We reveal how data are transient and…

Diaz Rios, Claudia Milena – Comparative Education Review, 2020
National large-scale assessments (NLSA) have spread rapidly since the 1990s, but contrary to arguments of diffusion theories, not every country with large-scale assessments develop test-based accountability (TBA). The diverse-case comparison presented in this article demonstrates that the interaction between global pressures and domestic policy…

Michaels, Christopher; Barone, Diane – Career and Technical Education Research, 2020
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at secondary and post-secondary levels are gaining more and more attention from students, parents, and communities. Evaluating the merit of educational programs is a necessary practice. This study examined the academic achievement of CTE completer high school graduates and non-CTE graduates as measured…

Fávero, Luiz Paulo; Souza, Rafael de Freitas; Belfiore, Patrícia; Corrêa, Hamilton Luiz; Haddad, Michel F. C. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
In this paper is proposed a straightforward model selection approach that indicates the most suitable count regression model based on relevant data characteristics. The proposed selection approach includes four of the most popular count regression models (i.e. Poisson, negative binomial, and respective zero-inflated frameworks). Moreover, it…

Kleinert, Corinna; Christoph, Bernhard; Ruland, Michael – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Panel attrition is a major problem in long-term panel studies. While the design of the German National Educational Panel Study adult survey--combining biannual competency tests with regular face-to-face interviews--is highly innovative, such a design could raise respondent burden and thus potentially increase panel attrition and nonresponse bias.…

Barrios Aguirre, Fernando; Forero, Diego A.; Castellanos Saavedra, Martha Patricia; Mora Malagón, Sandra Yaneth – SAGE Open, 2021
The use of a computer and internet connection allows high school and university students to access more relevant information. However, there is no consensus on the effects of the use of these tools on academic results. This work evaluates the impact of computers and the internet at home on the results of the Saber 11 test, a national exam taken by…

This paper provides evidence on the differences among Spanish regions, regardless of other factors, in student achievement -- in Language, Mathematics, Science and Citizenship -- of fourth graders. This is the first paper in Spain that analyses these differences for Primary Education in all Spanish autonomous communities. The data in the Spanish…

Ben Smith; Stephen Morris; Harry Armitage – Education Endowment Foundation, 2021
This guidance is intended for the planning stage of trials -- in particular, trials for which the primary outcome measure being considered is attainment at GCSE (and in particular, GCSE English Language and Mathematics). However, it is generalisable to any other graded qualification or assessment used as an outcome measure, i.e. A-levels. It is…
