Gregory Chernov – Evaluation Review, 2025
Most existing solutions to the current replication crisis in science address only the factors stemming from specific poor research practices. We introduce a novel mechanism that leverages the experts' predictive abilities to analyze the root causes of replication failures. It is backed by the principle that the most accurate predictor is the most…

Beechey, Timothy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This article provides a tutorial introduction to ordinal pattern analysis, a statistical analysis method designed to quantify the extent to which hypotheses of relative change across experimental conditions match observed data at the level of individuals. This method may be a useful addition to familiar parametric statistical methods…

Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Karumbaiah, Shamya – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Research studies in Educational Data Mining (EDM) often involve several variables related to student learning activities. As such, it may be necessary to run multiple statistical tests simultaneously, thereby leading to the problem of multiple comparisons. The Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure is commonly used in EDM research to address this…

Sun-Joo Cho; Amanda Goodwin; Matthew Naveiras; Paul De Boeck – Grantee Submission, 2024
Explanatory item response models (EIRMs) have been applied to investigate the effects of person covariates, item covariates, and their interactions in the fields of reading education and psycholinguistics. In practice, it is often assumed that the relationships between the covariates and the logit transformation of item response probability are…

McCarthy, Richard V.; Ceccucci, Wendy; McCarthy, Mary; Sugurmar, Nirmalkumar – Information Systems Education Journal, 2021
This case is designed to be used in business analytics courses; particularly those that emphasize predictive analytics. Students are given background information on money laundering and data from People's United Bank, a regional bank in the northeast United States. The students must develop their hypothesis, analyze the data, develop and optimize…

Arnold, Julia C.; Mühling, Andreas; Kremer, Kerstin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Scientific thinking is an essential learning goal of science education and it can be fostered by inquiry learning. One important prerequisite for scientific thinking is procedural understanding. Procedural understanding is the knowledge about specific steps in scientific inquiry (e.g. formulating hypotheses, measuring dependent and…

Haynes-Brown, Tashane K. – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2023
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the dynamic process involved in developing and utilizing a theoretical model in a mixed methods study. Specifically, I illustrate how the theoretical model can serve as the starting point in framing the study, as a lens for guiding the data collection and analysis, and as the end point in explaining the…

Kubsch, Marcus; Stamer, Insa; Steiner, Mara; Neumann, Knut; Parchmann, Ilka – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
In light of the replication crisis in psychology, null-hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and "p"-values have been heavily criticized and various alternatives have been proposed, ranging from slight modifications of the current paradigm to banning "p"-values from journals. Since the physics education research community…

Bosch, Nigel – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
Automatic machine learning (AutoML) methods automate the time-consuming, feature-engineering process so that researchers produce accurate student models more quickly and easily. In this paper, we compare two AutoML feature engineering methods in the context of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data mining competition. The…

Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…
