Tests of statistical significance often play a decisive role in establishing the empirical warrant of evidence-based research in education. The results from pattern-based assessment items, as introduced in this paper, are categorical and multimodal and do not immediately support the use of measures of central tendency as typically related to…

Marisol Rico Cortez; Amjad Almusaed; Asaad Almssad – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2023
International research is already booming, and global problems like climate change have sparked interdisciplinary initiatives involving academics from many nations, disciplines, and tongues. Integrating the research team, the supervisors, and the doctoral students present several challenges, such as multicultural issues; integrating a good team…

Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify…

van der Walt, Johannes L. – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2016
Countries all over the world find themselves in the throes of revolution, change, transition or transformation. Because of the complexities of these momentous events, it is no simple matter to describe and evaluate them. This paper suggests that comparative educationists apply a combination of three theories as a lens through which such national…

Malhotra, Sugandh; Das, Lalit K.; Chariar, V. M. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
Although a strategy for business innovation is to turn a concept into something that's desirable, viable, commercially successful and that which adds value to people's lives but in the fast changing world, we are seeing weakening of relationship between product, user and the environment, thereby causing sustainability issues. A concrete futuristic…

Keisanen, Tiina; Kuure, Leena – Research-publishing.net, 2015
Language teachers of the future, our current students, live in an increasingly technology-rich world. However, language students do not necessarily see their own digital practices as having relevance for guiding language learning. Research in the fields of CALL and language education more generally indicates that teaching practices change slowly…

Lundh, Anna Hampson; Limberg, Louise; Lloyd, Annemaree – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2013
Introduction: Information literacy research is characterised by a multitude of interests, research approaches and theoretical starting-points. Challenges lie in the relevance of research to professional fields where information literacy is a concern, and the need to build a strong theoretical base for the research area. We aim to lay a foundation…

Olejnik, Stephen; Lee, JaeShin – 1990
A review of the literature on multiple comparison procedures suggests several alternative approaches for comparing means when population variances differ. These include: (1) the approach of P. A. Games and J. F. Howell (1976); (2) C. W. Dunnett's C confidence interval (1980); and (3) Dunnett's T3 solution (1980). These procedures control the…

Lotto, Linda S. – 1983
Despite the rhetoric acclaiming it as a new paradigm, educational researchers have tended to treat naturalistic inquiry as a new or alternative method employed within the dominant, rationalistic paradigm. Spokespersons for naturalistic inquiry tend to concentrate on what one does differently rather than how one perceives what one is doing…

Barnette, J. Jackson; McLean, James E. – 1999
Four of the most commonly used multiple comparison procedures were compared for pairwise comparisons and relative to control of per-experiment and experimentwise Type I errors when conducted as protected or unprotected tests. The methods are: (1) Dunn-Bonferroni; (2) Dunn-Sidak; (3) Holm's sequentially rejective; and (4) Tukey's honestly…

Fan, Xitao – 1995
This paper, in a fashion easy to follow, illustrates the interesting relationship between structural equation modeling and canonical correlation analysis. Although computationally somewhat inconvenient, representing canonical correlation as a structural equation model may provide some information which is not available from conventional canonical…

Chatham, Kathy – 1999
Contrasts or comparisons can be used to investigate specific differences between means. Contrasts, as explained by B. Thompson (1985, 1994) are coding vectors that mathematically express hypotheses. The most basic categories of contrasts are planned and unplanned. The purpose of this paper is to explain the relative advantages of using planned…

Barnette, J. Jackson; McLean, James E. – 1998
Conventional wisdom suggests the omnibus F-test needs to be significant before conducting post-hoc pairwise multiple comparisons. However, there is little empirical evidence supporting this practice. Protected tests are conducted only after a significant omnibus F-test while unprotected tests are conducted without regard to the significance of the…

Kim, Gyenam; Edwards, Lynne K. – 1990
An integrated overview is provided of selected multiple comparison methods, with an emphasis on the sequentially rejective Bonferroni (SRB) test and its modifications. Multiple comparisons of means is a frequently used, and yet confusing, method in educational and psychological research. Seven multiple comparison methods are reviewed: (1) the…

A Preliminary Investigation of the Use of the Cloze Procedure as a Measure of Program Understanding.
Peer reviewedCook, Curtis; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Reports on a controlled experiment that compared cloze procedure (human tendency to complete a familiar but not quite finished pattern) and comprehension quiz as measures of computer program understanding. Program comprehension measures, experimental materials, administration, and results are highlighted. Twenty-six references and sample questions…
