Time-Indexed Effect Size for P-12 Reading and Math Program Evaluation
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Lee, Jaekyung; Finn, Jeremy; Liu, Xiaoyan – Online Submission, 2012
Our current capacity to understand or provide a context for interpreting the size of an effect in education program evaluation is limited. To address the problem, this study proposes a time-indexed effect size metric (d') to estimate how long it would take for an "untreated" control group to reach the treatment group outcome in terms…

A Research Methodology for Future Summative Evaluation Studies: Incorporating the Component of Multiple Sets of Matched Samples into the Statistical Control Modeling
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Li, Yuan H.; Modarresi, Shahpar; Yang, Yu N. – Online Submission, 2006
Summative evaluations have often been undertaken to determine the impact of educational programs on student academic achievement employing a quasi-experimental design. The summative finding is expected to be less misleading if a statistical model is performed on a dataset including a sound matched sample as a control group. This is because an…

Utilizing the Zero-One Linear Programming Constraints to Draw Multiple Sets of Matched Samples from a Non-Treatment Population as Control Groups for the Quasi-Experimental Design
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Li, Yuan H.; Yang, Yu N.; Tompkins, Leroy J.; Modarresi, Shahpar – Online Submission, 2005
The statistical technique, "Zero-One Linear Programming," that has successfully been used to create multiple tests with similar characteristics (e.g., item difficulties, test information and test specifications) in the area of educational measurement, was deemed to be a suitable method for creating multiple sets of matched samples to be…

The Efficacy of an All-Day, Every-Day Kindergarten Program: A Seven Year Cumulative Report for the St. James-Assiniboia School Division
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Zakaluk, Beverley L.; Straw, Stanley B.; Smith, Karen E. – Online Submission, 2005
Background: This is the fourth formal report describing the efficacy of the full-day, every day kindergarten program in the St. James School Division which was initiated in one school located in an economically-disadvantaged neighborhood in the 1997-1998 school year. The success of this undertaking led to the extension of the program in 1998-1999,…

An Africentric Rite of Passage Program and Its Impact on Adolescent African-American Male Attendance, Discipline, and Achievement
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Ford-Little, Monica – Online Submission, 2006
The purpose of this study is to examine an Africentric rite of passage program's impact on African-American male high school students. It is intended to determine whether a rite of passage program will affect attendance, discipline and achievement. The study also investigates the development of a school-based Africentric program as well as its…
