Dahlia K. Remler; Gregg G. Van Ryzin – American Journal of Evaluation, 2025
This article reviews the origins and use of the terms quasi-experiment and natural experiment. It demonstrates how the terms conflate whether variation in the independent variable of interest falls short of random with whether researchers find, rather than intervene to create, that variation. Using the lens of assignment--the process driving…

Jens Möller – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Dimensional comparison theory (DCT; Möller & Marsh 2013:Psychological Review, 120(3), 544-560), first formulated 10 years ago, describes individuals' internal comparison processes applied between different areas of their lives. Dimensional comparisons explain the seemingly counterintuitive phenomenon that students' verbal and mathematical…

Aarnes Gudmestad; Thomas A. Metzger – Language Learning, 2025
In this Methods Showcase Article, we illustrate mixed-effects modeling with a multinomial dependent variable as a means of explaining complexities in language. We model data on future-time reference in second language Spanish, which consists of a nominal dependent variable that has three levels, measured over 73 participants. We offer step-by-step…

Wei Wang; Xiaoying Wang; Shanshan Li; Tianshu Ma; M. N. Poni Liu; Hongzhi Sun – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
The prevalence of collaborative learning in online virtual environments is on the rise. It is vital to investigate the effect of emotional interaction on the learning engagement of students. The university students who participated in 16 h of online collaborative learning responded to an anonymous survey. The instruments included Collaborative…

Robin Clausen – Grantee Submission, 2024
Early warning systems (EWS) using analytical tools that have been trained against prior years' data, can reliably predict dropout risk in individual students so that educators may intervene early to help avert this from happening. Risk profiles for dropouts aren't always useful since students often do not conform to the profiles. Researchers with…

Jacquelynne S. Eccles; Allan Wigfield – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
To address the seven guiding questions posed for authors of articles in this special issue, we begin by discussing the development (in the late 1970s-early 1980s) of Eccles' expectancy-value theory of achievement choice (EEVT), a theory developed to explain the cultural phenomenon of why girls were less likely to participate in STEM courses and…

Chi Kit Jacky Ng; Lok Yin Joyce Kwan; Wai Chan – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
In the past decade, moderated mediation analysis has been extensively and increasingly employed in social and behavioral sciences. With its widespread use, it is particularly important to ensure the moderated mediation analysis will not bring spurious results. Spurious effects have been studied in both mediation and moderation analysis, but this…

Center for Learner Equity, 2024
Collected Biannually since 1968, the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) represents the U.S. Department of Education's most substantial effort to understand data related to students' educational opportunities throughout K-12 schooling, particularly for historically marginalized student populations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department…

Gabriele Morganti; Alexandra Lascu; Gennaro Apollaro; Laura Pantanella; Mario Esposito; Alberto Grossi; Bruno Ruscello – Sport, Education and Society, 2024
Talent identification and development systems (TIDS) adopt a deterministic perspective (i.e. athletes' future state/performances can be predicted by observations of their initial state/performance), which encourages early identification and specialisation in sport. In this framework, the main aim of sport systems is to enhance predictability and…

Mikkel Helding Vembye; James Eric Pustejovsky; Therese Deocampo Pigott – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Sample size and statistical power are important factors to consider when planning a research synthesis. Power analysis methods have been developed for fixed effect or random effects models, but until recently these methods were limited to simple data structures with a single, independent effect per study. Recent work has provided power…

Earl H. McKinney Jr.; Simon Ginzinger – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
The growing use of analytics has increased the demand for more highly data literate graduates. Awareness of ambiguity in data has been suggested as a new data literacy skill. Here, we describe a student-centered semester-long project that can be used to teach this skill in an introductory analytics or database course. The project requires students…

Sophie M. Bradburn; Megan C. Ryan; Willie Leung – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2024
Attitudes toward people with disabilities greatly influence the lives of people with disabilities, especially during childhood. Negative attitudes toward children with disabilities are considered a barrier to the social participation of children with impairment in academics, organized sports, and social events. However, positive attitudes will…

Ting Zhang; Paul Bailey; Yuqi Liao; Emmanuel Sikali – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
The EdSurvey package helps users download, explore variables in, extract data from, and run analyses on large-scale assessment data. The analysis functions in EdSurvey account for the use of plausible values for test scores, survey sampling weights, and their associated variance estimator. We describe the capabilities of the package in the context…

Nancy Montes; Fernanda Luna – UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning, 2024
This article characterizes and reflects on the possible uses of early warning systems (hereafter, EWS) in the region as effective tools to support educational pathways, whenever they identify risks of dropout, difficulties for the achievement of substantive learning, and the possibility of organizing specific actions. This article was developed in…
