Kim, Sunha; Chang, Mido; Park, Jeehyun – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2018
Survival analysis is an advanced statistical method to investigate the occurrence and the timing of an important event such as school access, dropout, and graduation in a longitudinal framework. The aim of our study is to provide practical guidelines for empirical researchers in choosing an appropriate survival analysis model. For this goal, this…

Padgett, Ryan D.; Salisbury, Mark H.; An, Brian P.; Pascarella, Ernest T. – New Directions for Institutional Research, 2010
The sophisticated analytical techniques available to institutional researchers give them an array of procedures to estimate a causal effect using observational data. But as many quantitative researchers have discovered, access to a wider selection of statistical tools does not necessarily ensure construction of a better analytical model. Moreover,…

von Eye, Alexander; Mun, Eun Young; Bogat, G. Anne – Developmental Psychology, 2008
This article reviews the premises of configural frequency analysis (CFA), including methods of choosing significance tests and base models, as well as protecting [alpha], and discusses why CFA is a useful approach when conducting longitudinal person-oriented research. CFA operates at the manifest variable level. Longitudinal CFA seeks to identify…

Xiang, Yun; Hauser, Carl – Northwest Evaluation Association, 2010
The purpose of this paper is to offer an analytic perspective to policy makers and educational practitioners regarding how to use longitudinal achievement data to evaluate schools. The authors further discuss the potential practical applications of their models for superintendents, researchers, and policy makers. The premise of the study is that…

Kubanyiova, Magdalena – Modern Language Journal, 2008
The prominent current tendency in applied linguistics to situate its theory and research has seen parallel shifts in the type of research methodologies being employed. Increasingly, decontextualized laboratory methodologies are giving way to more holistic approaches, and these, in turn, involve a significant shift in the researchers' roles,…

Lillibridge, Fred – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2008
This chapter presents a sophisticated approach for tracking student cohorts from entry through departure within an institution. It describes how a researcher can create a student tracking model to perform longitudinal research on student cohorts. (Contains 3 tables and 2 figures.)

Rodgers, Joseph Lee – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Applies the confluence model to a longitudinal intact family data set. Also tests the data with simple linear models. Results suggest that the confluence model should be rejected as a useful model for these data based on principles of parsimony and predictability. (Author/AS)

Pfeifer, Michael; Holtappels, Heinz Gunter – European Educational Research Journal, 2008
Following the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment for Germany, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research founded the capital investment program "Future Education and Care" as a federal measure to support the expansion of all-day schooling in Germany. During this process it became obvious that learning and…

Park, Ilhyeok; Schutz, Robert W. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2005
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Latent Growth Model (LGM) to researchers in exercise and sport science. Although the LGM has several merits over traditional analysis techniques in analyzing change and was first introduced almost 20 years ago, it is still underused in exercise and sport science research. This statistical model can be…

Hertzog, Christopher; Nesselroade, John R. – Child Development, 1987
Challenges the typical treatment of causal effects in longitudinal data, arguing that models should be conceptualized and tested in ways that directly reflect prior assumptions as to the trait- or state-like nature of the variables. Examples demonstrate that meaningful longitudinal studies of state variables can be conducted without assuming their…

Walker, Lawrence J. – Child Development, 1989
Examines several issues concerning Gilligan's and Kohlberg's models of moral orientations and Kohlberg's model of moral stages in a longitudinal study of 233 subjects aged 5 to 63 years. Results revealed few violations of the stage sequence over the two-year longitudinal interval. (RJC)

Tanaka, Jeffrey S.; Huba, G. J. – 1984
Previous research has suggested that the attitudinal and frequency dimensions of social support are independent. To examine the stability of support, the effects of support on depressive symptomatology, and the effects of depressive symptomatology on support over a 1-month period, 112 college students completed the Beck Depression Inventory, the…

Reynolds, Arthur J.; Walberg, Herbert J. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1992
Tested a structural model of mathematics achievement and attitude with a probability sample of 3,116 adolescents from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth. Concluded that prior achievement and home environment influenced subsequent achievement most powerfully and that previous attitude had the most powerful influence on subsequent attitude.…

Rogers, Bruce G. – 1983
During the past 15 years, considerable attention has been given to a conspicuous longitudinal change in grading patterns in higher education. Commonly referred to as "grade inflation," the phenomenon has been perceived by some as seriously weakening the meaning of grades but by others as reflecting a positive tendency for students to…

McCall, Robert B. – Child Development, 1985
Explains that from a prediction standpoint the confluence model is not very efficient. Very modest increments in accuracy are associated with family configuration variables once chronological age is covaried. Suggests that the major postulates of the theory be tested directly, within individuals and with longitudinal data. (Author/AS)
