Fred Emmanuel Sato; Jonghwi Park – Journal of Environmental Education, 2025
Policymakers and educators have increasingly focused on improving public understanding of climate change to prepare people to tackle its causes and impacts. Researchers have joined these efforts by assessing environmental literacy (EL) and climate change literacy (CCL) to inform policies and educational initiatives. This article systematically…

Robert Meyer; Sara Hu; Michael Christian – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: This paper develops a new method to estimate quasi-experimental evaluation models when it is necessary to control for measurement error in predictors and individual assignment to the treatment group is based on these same fallible variables. A major methodological finding of the study is that standard methods of estimating models that…

Ayodele Abosede Ogegbo; Umesh Ramnarain; Joseph Krajcik – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Inquiry-Based Teaching Practice (IBTP) is an essential component of science education, and promoting its implementation is at the heart of various reform efforts. Even though science teachers regard IBTP as an essential pedagogical method, they rarely use it for various reasons. This study utilizes Bronfenbrenner's ecological framework to examine…

Beal, Jennifer S. – Deafness & Education International, 2021
Few American Sign Language (ASL) assessments are readily available for educators to administer and score to document deaf students' skill levels and direct ASL instruction. Even fewer studies include deaf students with intellectual disabilities or document deaf students' ASL skills across time. The present study reports deaf school-aged students'…

Tirado, Andrea; Shneyderman, Aleksandr – Research Services, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, 2020
This Research Brief describes a model developed as an alternative method for making ESOL exit decisions in 2019-2020. Given the cancellation of the 2019-2020 Statewide student assessment, FSA ELA results which are used as one of the two major components for making ESOL exit decisions will not be available, and an alternative method is needed. This…

Lamont, Andrea E.; Markle, Robert S.; Wright, Annie; Abraczinskas, Michelle; Siddall, James; Wandersman, Abraham; Imm, Pam; Cook, Brittany – American Journal of Evaluation, 2018
Traditional methods of evaluation are limited in their ability to answer key questions often of interest to process evaluators, such as heterogeneity in the ways individuals adopt new programs. In this article, we demonstrate how a statistical approach, Latent Class Analysis, can help improve the quality of process evaluations and illustrate its…

Young, Suzanne; Range, Bret G.; Hvidston, David; Mette, Ian M. – Planning and Changing, 2015
Principals in one Western state were surveyed about teacher evaluation systems commonly used across the state. Findings suggest that principals' beliefs about aligning practice to performance expectations, about how much the view of professional practice is growth-oriented, and the degree to which systems use multiple measures are the variables…

Smolkin, Laura B.; McTigue, Erin M.; Yeh, Yi-fen Y. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
Given the importance of explanation in science texts for children, this research explored Coh-Metrix as a tool for rapidly determining the presence of explanations in science trade books. Variables from Coh-Metrix specifically addressing cause ("causal content," "causal cohesion," and "positive causal connectives")…

Elliott, Stephen N.; Roach, Andrew T.; Kurz, Alexander – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2014
We describe the concept of a dynamic instructional practices portfolio to evaluate special education teachers. This portfolio features the My Instructional Learning Opportunities Guidance System (MyiLOGS) as the core component. MyiLOGS is an online, daily self-report measure of opportunity to learn (OTL) that provides detailed information on…

Berliner, David C. – Teacher Educator, 2013
In the United States, but not only here, the movement to evaluate teachers based on student test scores has received powerful political and parental support. The logic is simple. From one testing occasion to another students should show growth in their knowledge and skill. Similar types of students should show similar patterns of growth. Those…

Rapanta, Chrysi; Garcia-Mila, Merce; Gilabert, Sandra – Review of Educational Research, 2013
The need to enhance argument skills through education has become increasingly evident during the past 20 years. This need has resulted in an ongoing discussion that focuses on students' and teachers' argumentation and its support. However, apart from the extended competence-based discourse, no clear and homogeneous definition exists for…

Kane, Thomas J.; McCaffrey, Daniel F.; Miller, Trey; Staiger, Douglas O. – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 2013
To develop, reward, and retain great teachers, school systems first must know how to identify them. The authors designed the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project to test replicable methods for identifying effective teachers. In past reports, the authors described three approaches to measuring different aspects of teaching: student surveys,…

Kelcey, Benjamin; Carlisle, Joanne – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Of particular import to this study, is collider bias originating from stratification on retreatment variables forming an embedded M or bowtie structural design. That is, rather than assume an M structural design which suggests that "X" is a collider but not a confounder, the authors adopt what they consider to be a more reasonable…

Biberman-Shalev, Liat; Sabbagh, Clara; Resh, Nura; Kramarski, Bracha – Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, 2011
Based on a sample of 312 high school teachers who participated in the Israeli PISA assessment of student academic achievement in 2002, the current study examines the mediatory role of their perception of the subject matter (as "open/flexible'" or "closed/hierarchical") in the relation between their disciplinary expertise…

Nunez, Jose Carlos; Rosario, Pedro; Vallejo, Guillermo; Gonzalez-Pienda, Julio Antonio – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2013
This work assessed the efficacy of a middle-school-based mentoring program designed to increase student use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, self-efficacy for and the perceived usefulness of SRL as well as mathematics and language achievement. A longitudinal cluster randomized trial study design obtained evidence that found…
