Methodological Weaknesses in an Evaluation of Open Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Asher, William; Hynes, Kevin – Journal of Experimental Education, 1982
An evaluation of open education was shown to produce misleading results due to probable regression phenomena. These questionable results are now spread throughout the literature of education, sociology, and psychology. Researchers are advised to review, not merely summarize, prior articles. (Author/PN)

The Peer Review Process Used to Evaluate Manuscripts Submitted to Academic Journals: Interjudgmental Reliability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W.; Ball, Samuel – Journal of Experimental Education, 1989
Agreement between two independent reviews of each of 278 manuscripts was compared on an overall recommendation and on specific rating items. Agreement between reviewers on separate dimensions, the unweighted sum of the dimensions, and various weighted sums was no better than that for the overall recommendation itself. (SLD)

A Comparison of Analysis of Covariance to Within-Class Regression in the Analysis of Non-Equivalent Groups.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baldwin, Lee; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1984
Within-class regression is a method, developed in this paper, of comparing a large number of nonequivalent groups. This study indicated that within-class regression was a less biased method of data analysis and will yield more accurate estimates of treatment effects than analysis of covariance. (PN)
