Jona Lilienthal; Sibylle Sturtz; Christoph Schürmann; Matthias Maiworm; Christian Röver; Tim Friede; Ralf Bender – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
In Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis, the use of weakly informative prior distributions is of particular benefit in cases where only a few studies are included, a situation often encountered in health technology assessment (HTA). Suggestions for empirical prior distributions are available in the literature but it is unknown whether these are…

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…

Wolgemuth, Jennifer R.; Hicks, Tyler; Agosto, Vonzell – Educational Researcher, 2017
Research syntheses in education, particularly meta-analyses and best-evidence syntheses, identify evidence-based practices by combining findings across studies whose constructs are similar enough to warrant comparison. Yet constructs come preloaded with social, historical, political, and cultural assumptions that anticipate how research problems…

Zimmerman, Kathleen N.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Severini, Katherine E.; Pustejovsky, James E.; Barton, Erin E.; Lloyd, Blair P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Tools for evaluating the quality and rigor of single case research designs (SCD) are often used when conducting SCD syntheses. Preferred components include evaluations of design features related to the internal validity of SCD to obtain quality and/or rigor ratings. Three tools for evaluating the quality and rigor of SCD (Council for Exceptional…

Nicola-Richmond, Kelli; Pépin, Geneviève; Larkin, Helen; Taylor, Charlotte – Higher Education Research and Development, 2018
In relation to teaching and learning approaches that improve student learning outcomes, threshold concepts have generated substantial interest in higher education. They have been described as "portals" that lead to a transformed way of understanding or thinking, enabling learners to progress, and have been enthusiastically adopted to…

Merchie, Emmelien; Tuytens, Melissa; Devos, Geert; Vanderlinde, Ruben – Research Papers in Education, 2018
Evaluating teachers' professional development initiatives (PDI) is one of the main challenges for the teacher professionalisation field. Although different studies have focused on the effectiveness of PDI, the obtained effects and evaluative methods have been found to be widely divergent. By means of a narrative review, this study provides an…

Caracelli, Valerie J.; Cooksy, Leslie J. – New Directions for Evaluation, 2013
The quality of mixed methods systematic reviews relies on the quality of primary-level studies. The synthesis of qualitative evidence and the recent development of synthesizing mixed methods studies hold promise, but also pose challenges to evidence synthesis.

Farid, Alem – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2014
Although there are tools to assess student's readiness in an "online learning context," little is known about the "psychometric" properties of the tools used or not. A systematic review of 5107 published and unpublished papers identified in a literature search on student online readiness assessment tools between 1990 and…

Alresheed, Fahad; Hott, Brittany L.; Bano, Carmen – Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 2013
Historically, the synthesis of single subject design has employed visual inspection to yield significance of results. However, current research is supporting different techniques that will facilitate the interpretation of these intervention outcomes. These methods can provide more reliable data than employing visual inspection in isolation. This…

Maggin, Daniel M.; Johnson, Austin H.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Ruberto, Laura M.; Berggren, Melissa – Journal of School Psychology, 2012
The purpose of this review was to synthesize the research underlying group contingency interventions to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support their use for managing the classroom behavior of students with behavioral difficulties. An application of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) procedures for evaluating single-subject…

Chatterji, Madhabi – Review of Educational Research, 2002
Synthesizes research on standards-based reforms and accountability, with specific attention to purposes, models, and methods of inquiry. Concludes that research on reforms has been largely nonsystemic in design and has failed to help individual schools, school systems, and statewide systems develop. (SLD)

Bierschenk, Inger – 2001
Perspective Text Analysis is a way to measure competence by measuring the strategy of synthesizing, which intelligence tests or questionnaires cannot measure. This paper proposes the use of Perspective Text Analysis in the study of instructional materials. Perspective Text Analysis has been applied in various learning environments, and the results…
