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…

This article focuses on the use of the repertory grid technique as a research instrument for conducting and analyzing interviews in the field of teaching English as a foreign language. As a demonstration of the explanatory usefulness of this methodological framework, a pilot study was carried out to elicit second language teachers' tacit beliefs…

Zanuttini, Jessica Zoe – Australasian Journal of Special and Inclusive Education, 2020
While teachers and researchers of students with disability are commonly interested in individual students and their progress towards individualised goals, traditional approaches to educational research that aim to illustrate generalisation between cause and effect are still commonly used. Traditional approaches, such as group-comparison designs,…

Sulandari, Santi; Prihartanti, Nanik; Ali, Qonita; Salimah, Marida Rahma; Savitri, Amanda Intan; Wijayanti, Mei – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2020
The time-span of completing the minor thesis in Indonesian undergraduate programs has been one of the significant issues in higher education accreditation and quality insurance. Therefore, it is important to assess the possible determinants such as gender, research approach, and type of research, which might effect the students' completion period…

Moustgaard, Helene; Jones, Hayley E.; Savovic, Jelena; Clayton, Gemma L.; Sterne, Jonathan AC; Higgins, Julian PT; Hróbjartsson, Asbjørn – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Randomized clinical trials underpin evidence-based clinical practice, but flaws in their conduct may lead to biased estimates of intervention effects and hence invalid treatment recommendations. The main approach to the empirical study of bias is to collate a number of meta-analyses and, within each, compare the results of trials with and without…

Meihami, Hussein; Husseini, Fateme – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2022
Research in second language teacher education (SLTE) is critical for making short- and long-term policies and decisions about SLTE programs, materials, methods, etc. Therefore, it is essential to know the "what," "how," and "where" of SLTE research. Hence, the purpose of this synchronic study was to investigate…

Hallberg, Kelly; Williams, Ryan; Swanlund, Andrew – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
More aggregate data on school performance is available than ever before, opening up new possibilities for applied researchers interested in assessing the effectiveness of school-level interventions quickly and at a relatively low cost by implementing comparative interrupted times series (CITS) designs. We examine the extent to which effect…

Dawn Adams; Kate Young; Deb Keen – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Anxiety in autism is commonly reported by parents, but teacher reports of anxiety in their students with autism have received little attention. This paper presents the results from the first systematic review on anxiety in children with autism at school. Six intervention studies (five of which were based upon cognitive-behavioural therapy) and 26…

Prediger, Susanne; Barzel, Bärbel; Hußmann, Stephan; Leuders, Timo – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
Engaging students in processes of mathematizing and active knowledge organization (instead of telling and rehearsing ready-made mathematics) is a key demand for high quality mathematics instruction. Although many mathematically rich context problems have been designed and published in textbooks, their impact on regular mathematics classrooms…

Luttenberg, Johan; Oolbekkink-Marchand, Helma; Meijer, Paulien – Educational Action Research, 2018
Reflection in action research is a complicated matter because of the many domains of reflection and most significantly, the lack of understanding of these domains of reflection in action research and how these are supported. In this paper, we propose a framework based on four domains of reflection, namely, scientific, artistic, moral and technical…

Abutabenjeh, Sawsan; Jaradat, Raed – Teaching Public Administration, 2018
Research design is a critical topic that is central to research studies in science, social science, and many other disciplines. After identifying the research topic and formulating questions, selecting the appropriate design is perhaps the most important decision a researcher makes. Currently, there is a plethora of literature presenting multiple…

Cabrera, Laura Y.; Reiner, Peter B. – Sociological Methods & Research, 2018
Between-subject design surveys are a powerful means of gauging public opinion, but critics rightly charge that closed-ended questions only provide slices of insight into issues that are considerably more complex. Qualitative research enables richer accounts but inevitably includes coder bias and subjective interpretations. To mitigate these…

Tiurikova, Irina – Intercultural Communication Education, 2021
Traditional approaches to intercultural competence (IC) in language learning have been criticised for reproducing cultural differentialism, a theoretical perspective which emphasises that people are different due to essential distinctions between their ethnic or national cultural background. While differentialist views have been recognised as…
