This study investigates the validity of the FS in 221 youth with ASD and 57…

The core symptoms of ASD may negatively affect the psychometric properties of self-reported measures. The aim of the present study was to test the validity and reliability of…

Sarsa, Javier; Escudero, Tomás – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2016
E-learning research is plenty of difficulties, as also research in education is. Usually, the high number of features involved in e-learning processes complicates and masks the identification and isolation of the factors which cause the expected benefits, when they exist. At the same time, a bunch of threats are ready to weaken the validity of the…

St.Clair, Travis; Cook, Thomas D.; Hallberg, Kelly – American Journal of Evaluation, 2014
Although evaluators often use an interrupted time series (ITS) design to test hypotheses about program effects, there are few empirical tests of the design's validity. We take a randomized experiment on an educational topic and compare its effects to those from a comparative ITS (CITS) design that uses the same treatment group as the experiment…
