Rebecca H. Woodland; Rebecca Mazur – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024
Logic modeling, the process that explicates how programs are constructed and theorized to bring about change, is considered to be standard evaluation practice. However, logic modeling is often experienced as a transactional, jargon-laden, discrete task undertaken to produce a document to comply with the expectations of an external entity, the…

Tenko Raykov; Lisa Calvocoressi; Randall E. Schumacker – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
This paper is concerned with the process of selecting between the increasingly popular bi-factor model and the second-order factor model in measurement research. It is indicated that in certain settings widely used in empirical studies, the second-order model is nested in the bi-factor model and obtained from the latter after imposing appropriate…

Raykov, Tenko; Anthony, James C.; Menold, Natalja – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
The population relationship between coefficient alpha and scale reliability is studied in the widely used setting of unidimensional multicomponent measuring instruments. It is demonstrated that for any set of component loadings on the common factor, regardless of the extent of their inequality, the discrepancy between alpha and reliability can be…

Jeffrey Matayoshi; Shamya Karumbaiah – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2024
Various areas of educational research are interested in the transitions between different states--or events--in sequential data, with the goal of understanding the significance of these transitions; one notable example is affect dynamics, which aims to identify important transitions between affective states. Unfortunately, several works have…

Teasdale, Rebecca M. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2021
Evaluative criteria define a "high quality" or "successful" evaluand and provide the basis for judgment of merit and worth, yet they are often assumed and implicit in the evaluation process. This article presents an empirically supported model that describes and integrates two aspects of criteria: domain and source. Domain…

Cintron, Dakota W.; Montrosse-Moorhead, Bianca – American Journal of Evaluation, 2022
Despite the rising popularity of big data, there is speculation that evaluators have been slow adopters of these new statistical approaches. Several possible reasons have been offered for why this is the case: ethical concerns, institutional capacity, and evaluator capacity and values. In this method note, we address one of these barriers and aim…

Mark, Melvin M. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2022
Premised on the idea that evaluators should be familiar with a range of approaches to program modifications, I review several existing approaches and then describe another, less well-recognized option. In this newer option, evaluators work with others to identify potentially needed adaptations for select program aspects "in advance." In…

Razmgir, Maryam; Panahi, Sirous; Ghalichi, Leila; Mousavi, Seyed Ali Javad; Sedghi, Shahram – Research Evaluation, 2021
This article explores the models and frameworks developed on "research impact'. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of related literature through scoping study method. The present research investigates the nature, objectives, approaches, and other main attributes of the research impact models. It examines to analyze and classify models…

Marta Natalia Wróblewska – Research Evaluation, 2025
The Impact Agenda, introduced with Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF), constituted a revolution in research evaluation in the UK. 'Research impact' (impact of scholarly work outside of academia) became one of three profiles under which research quality is evaluated. This shift in the British evaluation system was followed, and often…
