Frischemeier, Daniel; Schnell, Susanne – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
As data are 'numbers with context' (Cobb & Moore, 1997), contextual knowledge plays a prominent role in dealing with statistics. While insights about a specific context can further the depth of interpreting and evaluating outcomes of data analysis, research shows how it can also hinder relying on data especially if results differ from…

Rudd, Georgia; Meissel, Kane; Meyer, Frauke – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2023
Academic resilience captures academic success despite adversity and thus is an important concept for promoting equity within education. However, our understanding of how and why rates of academic resilience differ between contexts is currently limited by variation in the ways that the construct has been operationalised in quantitative research.…

Hagopian, Louis P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) have proven invaluable in research and practice because they are optimal for asking many experimental questions relevant to the analysis of behavior. The consecutive controlled case series (CCCS) is a type of study in which a SCED is employed in a series of consecutively encountered cases that undergo a…

Alonso-Fernández, Cristina; Martínez-Ortiz, Iván; Caballero, Rafael; Freire, Manuel; Fernández-Manjón, Baltasar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Serious games have proven to be a powerful tool in education to engage, motivate, and help students learn. However, the change in student knowledge after playing games is usually measured with traditional (paper) prequestionnaires-postquestionnaires. We propose a combination of game learning analytics and data mining techniques to predict…

Lin, Ming Huei; Lee, Jia-Ying – Language Teaching Research, 2019
This study of 52 undergraduates of English as a foreign language (EFL) involves an empirical assessment of the pedagogical suitability of data-driven learning (DDL) in three Taiwanese grammar classes. One class (16 students) was taught using a traditional deductive approach (TDA), and the others (one of 17 and one of 19 students) were taught using…

Gardner, Josh; Brooks, Christopher – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2018
Model evaluation -- the process of making inferences about the performance of predictive models -- is a critical component of predictive modelling research in learning analytics. We survey the state of the practice with respect to model evaluation in learning analytics, which overwhelmingly uses only naïve methods for model evaluation or…

Al-Haddad, Serina; Thorne, Betty; Ahmed, Vikram; Sause, William – Journal of Education for Business, 2019
Business analytics can be described as the statistical analysis of data to make decisions and meaningful conclusions. As the demand to advance the curriculum of undergraduate business education increases, courses in business analytics aim to provide students with fundamental skills in critical thinking. Educators have found that spreadsheet…

Cunningham-Nelson, Samuel; Baktashmotlagh, Mahsa; Boles, Wageeh – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2019
Contribution: An automated methodology that provides visualizations of students' free text comments from course satisfaction surveys. Focusing on sentiment, these visualizations reveal learning and teaching aspects of the course that either may require improvement or are performing well. They provide educators with a simple, systematic way to…

Burwell, Kim – British Journal of Music Education, 2017
While studio-based instrumental and vocal learning is widely regarded as both important and effective in higher education music, research to date has offered little concrete information about studio practices that students have regarded as ineffective. Two recent case studies investigated what appear to be exceptional instances in which students…

Reid, David B. – Journal of School Choice, 2018
Over the past decade U.S. policymakers, practitioners, and researchers have sought to examine if changing teacher evaluation policies and systems have resulted in changes in identifying quality teachers and/or increased student achievement. This research generally shows most states have experienced little change in how teachers are rated.…

Anderson, Patricia F.; Shannon, Carol; Bickett, Skye; Doucette, Joanne; Herring, Pamela; Kepsel, Andrea; Lyons, Tierney; McLachlan, Scott; Wu, Lin – Research Synthesis Methods, 2018
When the Medical Library Association identified questions critical for the future of the profession, it assigned groups to use systematic reviews to find the answers to these questions. Group 6, whose question was on emerging technologies, recognized early on that the systematic review process would not work well for this question, which looks…

Starkey, Louise; Eppel, Elizabeth – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2019
In 1989, New Zealand started to follow an international trend of reforming education policy according to the neoliberal principles of competition, choice and self-managing schools. Since then, the increasing availability of digital data in schools has corresponded with the development of student achievement measurement tools and benchmarking of…

Yaowaratana, Kotchawara; Rungruang, Apichai – English Language Teaching, 2018
The pronunciation of regular past tense verbs seems to be difficult for most L2 learners, especially in L2 learners whose first language phonological system is different from the English one. It is predicted that Thai EFL students could encounter difficulties perceiving English coda clusters like the '-ed' ending sounds. For this reason, this…

Yang, Yang; Welch, Graham – British Journal of Music Education, 2016
Recent literature suggests that traditional approaches in folk music education are not necessarily compatible with the pedagogical conventions of formal music education. Whilst several recent studies have tended to define these non-classical-music learning contexts as "informal", the practice of folk music that was recently introduced…

Wright, Paul M.; Irwin, Carol – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
National content standards in PE address responsibility; however, learning outcomes and teacher effectiveness in this area remain poorly defined. This study employed the Social and Emotional Learning framework and a teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) model fidelity instrument to address this gap. Our purpose was to examine the…
