Anakin, Megan; Lazarovitch, Ayelet – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
Using a case study, the complex challenge of making mathematics education research accessible to secondary mathematics teachers was addressed with two questions. How can we design a method that will meet the challenge of making research usable for mathematics teachers? And what would this method be? To address this challenge we describe a process…

Tay-Lim, Brenda Siok-Hoon; Harwell, Michael – 1997
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how a quantitative literature review or research synthesis can be used to aggregate information in the item response theory literature to address specific research questions. The research questions focused on the magnitude of the contribution of the number of items and number of examinees to the accuracy…

King, Jean A.; And Others – 1981
A project for studying ways to optimize utilization of evaluation products in public schools is reported. The results indicate that the negative picture of use prevalent in recent literature stems from the unrealistic expectation that local decision-makers will behave in a classically rational manner. Such a view ignores the political settings of…

Grimmett, Peter P. – 1985
The proposed study will examine whether effective clinical supervision requires supervisors who practice certain strategies and procedures as they dialogue with supervisees in the conference, or whether the mere acquisition by supervisors and/or supervisees of research-verified knowledge about teaching and learning, e.g., the role of academic…

Wright, David W.; Neuliep, James W. – 1983
Adopting the position, expressed by A. P. Bochner in his critique of small group communication research, that placing measurement in a secondary role increases the danger of accepting the claims of experiments with excessive error, this paper examines nine current quantitative small-group communication studies. Using a schema developed by J. F.…

Fillos, Rita M. – 1980
This paper describes a survey of 394 school principals on the East coast concerning their attitudes toward use of research information. A 15-item questionnaire was prepared to elicit responses reflecting the influence of centralization of authority, strength of knowledge base, alternative sources of information, demonstrated use of empirical…

Sauls, Samuel J. – 1996
Although many campus radio stations try to copy or emulate their commercial counterparts, determining who is listening to the station is often difficult. It is not odd for stations to undertake in-house listener surveys, which are often conducted by classes studying audience research. Results of the 1995 College Radio Survey highlight significant…

Severn, Jessica J. H.; Dunham, Rodney A. – 1986
A study examined (1) how advertising practitioners perceive research related to their profession, (2) how advertising practitioners learn of current research results, and (3) how, if at all, advertising practitioners use research. Individual discussions with advertising practitioners in the San Diego market led to an initial bank of items from…

Roberts, Dennis M. – 1979
This brief paper presents a sequential walk through a simple research setting--a two group experiment--to indicate common but avoidable design difficulties that may jeopardize the usefulness of the data obtained. The six flaws examined are the failure to select subjects from the population to which generalizations are to be made; failure to use…

Birnbaum, Robert – 1998
This paper rebuts four common assumptions underlying criticisms of higher education policy scholarship and policy making. The first assumption, policymakers agree on the nature of policy problems and therefore on the kinds of research needed, is rebutted by noting that actually, there is no way to identify and research all possible future policy…
