Judith Glaesser – Field Methods, 2025
In qualitative comparative analysis, as with all methods, there is a question about how many cases are needed to make an analysis robust. In deciding on the number of cases, a key consideration is the number of conditions to be analyzed. I suggest that adding cases is preferable to dropping conditions if there are too many conditions relative to…

Alrik Thiem; Lusine Mkrtchyan – Field Methods, 2024
Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is an empirical research method that has gained some popularity in the social sciences. At the same time, the literature has long been convinced that QCA is prone to committing causal fallacies when confronted with non-causal data. More specifically, beyond a certain case-to-factor ratio, the method is…

Remiro-Azócar, Antonio; Heath, Anna; Baio, Gianluca – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Population adjustment methods such as matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) are increasingly used to compare marginal treatment effects when there are cross-trial differences in effect modifiers and limited patient-level data. MAIC is based on propensity score weighting, which is sensitive to poor covariate overlap and cannot extrapolate…

Maertens, Rien; Van Petegem, Charlotte; Strijbol, Niko; Baeyens, Toon; Jacobs, Arne Carla; Dawyndt, Peter; Mesuere, Bart – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Learning to code is increasingly embedded in secondary and higher education curricula, where solving programming exercises plays an important role in the learning process and in formative and summative assessment. Unfortunately, students admit that copying code from each other is a common practice and teachers indicate they rarely use…

Iraya Yánez-Pérez; Radu Bogdan Toma; Jesús Ángel Meneses-Villagrá – School Science and Mathematics, 2025
Teachers often struggle to implement inquiry-based science teaching. To support them, IndagApp--a 3D educational app that offers curriculum-aligned, inquiry-based lesson plans--was designed. The app is rooted in the inquiry phases recommended in best-practices literature, which arguably align with most international standards. This study describes…

Price, Thomas W.; Dong, Yihuan; Zhi, Rui; Paaßen, Benjamin; Lytle, Nicholas; Cateté, Veronica; Barnes, Tiffany – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2019
In the domain of programming, a growing number of algorithms automatically generate data-driven, next-step hints that suggest how students should edit their code to resolve errors and make progress. While these hints have the potential to improve learning if done well, few evaluations have directly assessed or compared the quality of different…

Klingbeil, David A.; Van Norman, Ethan R.; Osman, David J.; Berry-Corie, Kimberly; Carberry, Caroline K.; Kim, Jessica S. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
Early identification of students needing additional support is a foundational component of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Due to the resource-intensive nature of implementing MTSS, it is critical that universal screening procedures are maximally accurate and efficient. The purpose of this study was to compare the classification accuracy…

Fatih Unlu; Douglas Lee Lauen; Sarah Crittenden Fuller; Tiffany Berglund; Elc Estrera – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2021
Do quasi-experimental (QE) studies conducted with baseline covariates that are typically available in the longitudinal administrative state databases yield unbiased effect estimates? This paper conducts a within-study comparison (WSC) study that compares experimental impacts of early college high school (ECHS) attendance with QE impacts drawn from…

Nathan Vandeweerd; Alex Housen; Magali Paquot – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study builds upon previous research investigating the construct validity of phraseological complexity as an index of L2 development and proficiency. Whereas previous studies have focused on cross-sectional comparisons of written productions across proficiency levels, the current study compares the "longitudinal" development of…

Maries, Alexandru; Brundage, Mary Jane; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) is a multiple-choice survey that contains a variety of electricity and magnetism concepts from Coulomb's law to Faraday's law at the level of introductory physics used to help inform instructors of student mastery of those concepts. Prior studies suggest that many concepts on the survey are…
