Malait, Ulysis; Himang, Celbert M.; Ocampo, Lanndon; Selerio, Egberto Filosopo, Jr.; Luzano, Ella; Caballero, John Henry; Bergamo, Remegio; Manalastas, Rebecca – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2022
As a foundational approach in inferential statistics, hypothesis testing (HT) is considered as one of the most challenging topics for teaching and learning. A promising approach is through the consideration of students' learning modalities, as demonstrated in vast applications; however, contentions that surround the use of learning modality in…

An, Chen; Braun, Henry; Walsh, Mary E. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2018
Making causal inferences from a quasi-experiment is difficult. Sensitivity analysis approaches to address hidden selection bias thus have gained popularity. This study serves as an introduction to a simple but practical form of sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo simulation procedures. We examine estimated treatment effects for a school-based…

Briggs, Derek C. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2004
In the social sciences, evaluating the effectiveness of a program or intervention often leads researchers to draw causal inferences from observational research designs. Bias in estimated causal effects becomes an obvious problem in such settings. This article presents the Heckman Model as an approach sometimes applied to observational data for the…
