Calmettes, Guillaume; Drummond, Gordon B.; Vowler, Sarah L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
A jack knife is a pocket knife that is put to many tasks, because it's ready to hand. Often there could be a better tool for the job, such as a screwdriver, a scraper, or a can-opener, but these are not usually pocket items. In statistical terms, the expression implies making do with what's available. Another simile, of an extreme situation, is…

Styles, B. – Educational Research, 2008
Background: Data for England from the national census can provide the socio-economic background of individual pupils and therefore the intake of schools. In many respects, this is more useful than the conventional measure of "free school meals", which has historically been used in the UK as a proxy measure for disadvantage. Prior to the…

Dolan, Conor V.; Wicherts, Jelte M.; Molenaar, Peter C. M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
We consider the question of how variation in the number and reliability of indicators affects the power to reject the hypothesis that the regression coefficients are zero in latent linear regression analysis. We show that power remains constant as long as the coefficient of determination remains unchanged. Any increase in the number of indicators…

Hill, David – Teacher Magazine, 2000
Introduces William Sanders, a professor of statistics who has created a controversial method of evaluating teachers and schools. He takes students' test scores, enters them into a computer, and measures how students improve from year to year. He claims this system is more fair, realistic, and reasonable than other methods because it emphasizes…

Holmlund, Helena – Centre for the Economics of Education (NJ1), 2008
When studying different types of returns to education, educational reforms are commonly used in the economics literature as a source of exogenous variation in education. The Swedish compulsory school reform is one example; the reform extended compulsory education throughout the country, in different municipalities at different points in time. Such…

This paper considers, from a theoretical point of view, two measurement approaches used in measuring success and failure in skills tests in physical education. The first, "fixed length" (FL) testing, entails counting the number of successful performances in a fixed number of trials. The second, "trials-to-criterion" (TTC)…
