Lohr, Sharon; Schochet, Peter Z.; Sanders, Elizabeth – National Center for Education Research, 2014
Suppose an education researcher wants to test the impact of a high school drop-out prevention intervention in which at-risk students attend classes to receive intensive summer school instruction. The district will allow the researcher to randomly assign students to the treatment classes or to the control group. Half of the students (the treatment…

Zhu, Pei; Jacob, Robin; Bloom, Howard; Xu, Zeyu – MDRC, 2011
This paper provides practical guidance for researchers who are designing and analyzing studies that randomize schools--which comprise three levels of clustering (students in classrooms in schools)--to measure intervention effects on student academic outcomes when information on the middle level (classrooms) is missing. This situation arises…

Kraemer, Helena Chmura – Psychometrika, 1979
Coefficient Kappa is generally defined in terms of procedures of computation rather than in terms of a population. Here a population definition is proposed. Factors influencing the magnitude of Kappa are identified. Strategies to improve reliability are proposed, including that of combining multiple unreliable diagnoses. (Author/CTM)

Leedy, Paul D.; Ormrod, Jeanne Ellis – 2001
This book is a broad-spectrum guide, suitable for all courses in basic research. It guides the student from problem selection to completed research report with practical suggestions based on a solid theoretical framework and learning procedure. As a do-it-yourself guide, it is useful for students who are left to their own resources in executing…

Chen, Huey-Tsyh; Rossi, Peter H. – Evaluation Review, 1983
The use of theoretical models in impact assessment can heighten the power of experimental designs and compensate for some deficiencies of quasi-experimental designs. Theoretical models of implementation processes are examined, arguing that these processes are a major obstacle to fully effective programs. (Author/CM)

Ross, John A. – Evaluation and Program Planning: An International Journal, 1981
Professional evaluators are often called upon to analyze data produced by a catastrophically inadequate evaluation design. A remedial strategy involving diagnosis of error, application of a corrective procedure and sensitization of program personnel of the need for a more sophisticated stance, is proposed and illustrated with a case study.…

Davis, Gary E. – Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1993
Describes methods of designing natural resource monitoring programs to provide indications of ecosystem health, define limits of normal variation, identify abnormal conditions, and suggest potential agent of abnormal change. (MDH)

Brainerd, Charles J. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1982
According to the stage-learning hypothesis, children's ability to learn is constrained by their pretraining stages of cognitive development. Some procedures for obtaining unconfounded tests of this hypothesis are developed in this paper, and some applications to factorial experiments are considered. (Author/BW)

Baker, Eva L.; Alkin, Marvin C. – 1984
This chapter discusses current methods of formative evaluation and suggests that these methods themselves need to be subjected to more critical research and evaluation in order to provide them with a more scientific base. Topics addressed include problems and methods associated with data gathering, evaluation designs, number of subjects available,…

King, F. J.; Roblyer, M. D. – 1984
This paper presents five designs (three one-group and two two-group) which can be effectively employed to study computer-based methods in non-laboratory settings, including actual classroom implementation, where a non-treatment control design may not be feasible. These designs are sequential analysis, value-added analysis, non-equivalent dependent…

Kirschenbaum, Daniel S.; Perri, Michael G. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1982
Reviewed efficacy of programs designed to improve academic competence. Outcomes of studies published from 1974-1978 were more favorable, based on box-score tabulation and an analysis of more than 12 well-controlled investigations. Evidence indicates that structured multicomponent interventions, incorporating study skills and self-control training,…

Michalczyk, Alan E.; Lewis, Lloyd A. – Journal of Medical Education, 1980
Thirty-three research articles based on t-tests, F-tests, or Pearson product-moment correlations selected from the "Journal of Medical Education" were examined for adequate research reporting. Nearly one-half did not report sufficient data or were found to have low power values. Guidelines for research reporting are discussed.…
