Antoine Deeb – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation consists of three essays that use and develop econometric methods to causally investigate topics in education and development economics. In the first chapter, I develop an econometric framework to correctly and efficiently draw inference in models where estimated value-added (VA) is an explanatory variable (and models where it…

Walter P. Vispoel; Hyeri Hong; Hyeryung Lee; Terrence D. Jorgensen – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
We illustrate how to analyze complete generalizability theory (GT) designs using structural equation modeling software ("lavaan" in R), compare results to those obtained from numerous ANOVA-based packages, and apply those results in practical ways using data obtained from a large sample of respondents, who completed the Self-Perception…

Reeves, Todd D.; Onder, Yasemin; Kraner, Chris – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2023
As beliefs are well-known antecedents of teachers' practices, including assessment practices, sound measurement of teacher beliefs is critical for scholarly research as well as practical purposes. The present study examined the validity of inferences derived from the Conceptions of Assessment III--Abridged (COA-IIIA) instrument with US PK-12…

Morley, Alicen; Nissen, Jayson M.; Van Dusen, Ben – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Instructors and researchers often use research-based assessments to identify the impact of instructional activities. These investigations often focus on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusions by comparing outcomes across social identity groups (e.g., gender, race, and class). Comparisons across groups assume the assessments measure the same…

Ellison, George T. H. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Temporality-driven covariate classification had limited impact on: the specification of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) by 85 novice analysts (medical undergraduates); or the risk of bias in DAG-informed multivariable models designed to generate causal inference from observational data. Only 71 students (83.5%) managed to complete the…

Balbuena, Sherwin E.; Maligalig, Dalisay S.; Quimbo, Maria Ana T. – Online Submission, 2021
The University Student Depression Inventory (USDI; Khawaja and Bryden 2006) is a 30- item scale that is used to measure depressive symptoms among university students. Its psychometric properties have been widely investigated under the classical test theory (CTT). This study explored the application of the polytomous Rasch partial credit model…

Haberman, Shelby J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
Best linear prediction (BLP) and penalized best linear prediction (PBLP) are techniques for combining sources of information to produce task scores, section scores, and composite test scores. The report examines issues to consider in operational implementation of BLP and PBLP in testing programs administered by ETS [Educational Testing Service].

Hansen, Bruce E. – Journal of Economic Education, 2017
The field of econometrics largely started with time series analysis because many early datasets were time-series macroeconomic data. As the field developed, more cross-sectional and longitudinal datasets were collected, which today dominate the majority of academic empirical research. In nonacademic (private sector, central bank, and governmental)…

Shafaei, Azadeh; Nejati, Mehran; Abd Razak, Nordin – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2019
This study was carried out to investigate the discrepancies that international students' geographical region could create on the relationships of adjustment attitude, attachment attitude, and intention after graduation with psychological and sociocultural adaptations. As such, multi-group analysis was performed using partial least squares…

Ciftci, S. Koza – Online Submission, 2019
In this study, the effect of mathematics teacher candidates' locus of control on math anxiety was tested, along with the effects of gender, achievement and class level moderators. The study was carried out according to a causal design in which locus of control was taken as an independent variable, while math anxiety was taken as the dependent…

Sekercioglu, Güçlü – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2018
An empirical evidence for independent samples of a population regarding measurement invariance implies that factor structure of a measurement tool is equal across these samples; in other words, it measures the intended psychological trait within the same structure. In this case, the evidence of construct validity would be strengthened within the…

Mortaz Hejri, Sara; Yazdani, Kamran; Labaf, Ali; Norcini, John J.; Jalili, Mohammad – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2016
In a sequential OSCE which has been suggested to reduce testing costs, candidates take a short screening test and who fail the test, are asked to take the full OSCE. In order to introduce an effective and accurate sequential design, we developed a model for designing and evaluating screening OSCEs. Based on two datasets from a 10-station…

Sideridis, Georgios; Tsaousis, Ioannis; Al Harbi, Khaleel – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
The purpose of the present article was to illustrate, using an example from a national assessment, the value from analyzing the behavior of distractors in measures that engage the multiple-choice format. A secondary purpose of the present article was to illustrate four remedial actions that can potentially improve the measurement of the…

Bartolucci, Francesco; Pennoni, Fulvia; Vittadini, Giorgio – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
We extend to the longitudinal setting a latent class approach that was recently introduced by Lanza, Coffman, and Xu to estimate the causal effect of a treatment. The proposed approach enables an evaluation of multiple treatment effects on subpopulations of individuals from a dynamic perspective, as it relies on a latent Markov (LM) model that is…

Showers, Anne H.; Kinsman, Jeremy W. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2017
Using structural equation modeling, the study tested a theoretical model linking family background, student attributes, and college success. The sample consisted of 346 students with learning disabilities (LDs) who enrolled in college between 2004 and 2012. The data were taken from the public files of the Education Longitudinal Study: 2002. The…
