Anders Holm; Anders Hjorth-Trolle; Robert Andersen – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Lagged dependent variables (LDVs) are often used as predictors in ordinary least squares (OLS) models in the social sciences. Although several estimators are commonly employed, little is known about their relative merits in the presence of classical measurement error and different longitudinal processes. We assess the performance of four commonly…

The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a multicycle survey of adult skills and competencies sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The survey examines a range of basic skills in the information age and assesses these adult skills consistently across participating…

Edgar I. Sanchez – ACT Education Corp., 2024
Prior research has shown the importance of the ACT score and high school GPA (HSGPA) in predicting college success. Early college success, as indicated by students' first-year college GPA (FYGPA), plays a pivotal role in later college success and timely degree completion (Demeter et al., 2022; Gershenfeld et al., 2016). The accurate prediction of…

Becker, Derek R. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Direct and moderated connections among symptoms of inattention, High-Frequency Heart Rate Variability (HF-HRV), and reading comprehension scores were examined. Children age 7 to 12 were rated by both parents and teachers on symptoms of inattention with the Behavior Assessment System for Children. Reading was assessed with the Peabody…

Odell, Bryce; Cutumisu, Maria; Gierl, Mark – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2020
This scoping literature review examines the relationship between ICT and performance scores in mathematics and science for students around the world included in the PISA assessment. In this review we examined 25 publications and showed that the relationship between ICT and academic achievement is not consistent. The different types of ICT revealed…

Allen, Jeff; Radunzel, Justine; Ling, Jizhi – ACT, Inc., 2019
The authors examined the relationships of ACT Aspire test scores and high school course grades, AP test scores, and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test scores, demonstrating criterion-related as well as convergent and discriminant validity evidence. They found that ACT Aspire test scores are strong…

Chambers, Stefanie; Michelson, Melissa R. – Urban Education, 2020
We examine the views of low-income urban parents toward their neighborhood school. Policymakers must understand the attitudes of these individuals, particularly because they represent some of the most vulnerable groups in our education system. As national education policies have made it easier for parents to choose schools, attention has…

Tomkin, Jonathan H.; West, Matthew; Herman, Geoffrey L. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
We present a methodological improvement for calculating Grade Point Averages (GPAs). Heterogeneity in grading between courses systematically biases observed GPAs for individual students: the GPA observed depends on course selection. We show how a logistic model can account for course selection by simulating how every student in a sample would…

Kaycheng, Soh – Higher Education Quarterly, 2015
World university ranking systems used the weight-and-sum approach to combined indicator scores into overall scores on which the universities are then ranked. This approach assumes that the indicators all independently contribute to the overall score in the specified proportions. In reality, this assumption is doubtful as the indicators tend to…

Lamb, Lindsay M. – Online Submission, 2017
The purpose of this report is to analyze the stability of students' reliable integrated trend scores (RITS) over time and to determine which elementary school factors predict RITS at the secondary level.

Predicting Patterns of Grammatical Complexity across Language Exam Task Types and Proficiency Levels
Biber, Douglas; Gray, Bethany; Staples, Shelley – Applied Linguistics, 2016
In the present article, we explore the extent to which previous research on register variation can be used to predict spoken/written task-type variation as well as differences across score levels in the context of a major standardized language exam (TOEFL iBT). Specifically, we carry out two sets of linguistic analyses based on a large corpus of…

Benton, Tom – Cambridge Assessment, 2016
The reliability of an assessment is defined as the extent to which candidates' results would remain stable if the entire assessment exercise was repeated. Whilst numerous studies have evaluated the reliability of written examinations, relatively little has been done to quantify the reliability of internal teacher assessment within schools. This is…

Petrilli, Michael J.; Wright, Brandon L. – Education Next, 2016
At a time when the national conversation is focused on lagging upward mobility, it is no surprise that many educators point to poverty as the explanation for mediocre test scores among U.S. students compared to those of students in other countries. If American teachers in struggling U.S. schools taught in Finland, says Finnish educator Pasi…

Poder, Kaire; Kerem, Kaie; Lauri, Triin – Journal of School Choice, 2013
We seek out the good institutional features of the European choice policies that can enhance both equity and efficiency at the system level. For causality analysis we construct the typology of 28 European educational systems by using fuzzy-set analysis. We combine five independent variables to indicate institutional features of school choice…

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 Checklist (MABC-2). Method: Teacher[subscript S] completed the Checklist for 383 children (age range 5-8y; mean age 6y 9mo; 190 males; 193 females) and the parents of 130 of these children completed the Developmental…
