Torres, Leonor L. – Education Sciences, 2022
Various changes in the spheres of education policy and school management over recent decades have sparked a renewed interest in the issue of school culture and its potential to understand processes of leadership and academic performance. What are the contributions and potentialities of organizational culture for understanding school organizations…

Meacham, Shuaib James; Meacham, Sohyun; Thompson, Misty; Graves, Hattie – Reading Teacher, 2019
The authors employ hip-hop music as a literacy heuristic aimed at supporting the literacy development of kindergarten and first-grade students. How do young students learn to write hip-hop lyrics? How do young students engage in hip-hop reading and writing processes? The classroom examples show that students engaged in individual and interactive…

Oral, Sevket Benhur – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2015
This article is about a pedagogical movement I discern in Quentin Meillassoux's ontology. The goal of the essay is to introduce his approach to reality in outline form and offer it as a possible route to conceptualize education as the practice of keeping the bodymind attentive and agile against its unsound ossification by way of providing a…

Swearer, Susan M.; Wang, Cixin; Berry, Brandi; Myers, Zachary R. – Theory Into Practice, 2014
Social cognitive theory (SCT) is an important heuristic for understanding the complexity of bullying behaviors and the social nature of involvement in bullying. Bullying has been heralded as a social relationship problem, and the interplay between the individual and his or her social environment supports this conceptualization. SCT has been used…

Shea, Nicole A.; Duncan, Ravit Golan – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
Learning progressions (LPs) are theoretical models of how learners develop expertise in a domain over extended periods of time. Recent policy reports have touted LPs as a promising approach to aligning standards, curriculum, and assessment. However, the scholarship on LPs is relatively sparse, and the jury is still out on the theoretical and…

White, Peter A. – Psychological Bulletin, 2009
Many kinds of common and easily observed causal relations exhibit property transmission, which is a tendency for the causal object to impose its own properties on the effect object. It is proposed that property transmission becomes a general and readily available hypothesis used to make interpretations and judgments about causal questions under…

Roberts, J. Kyle – 1999
According to some researchers canonical correlation results should be interpreted in part by consulting redundancy coefficients (Rd). This paper, however, makes the case that Rd coefficients generally should not be interpreted. Rd coefficients are not multivariate. Furthermore, it makes little sense to interpret coefficients not optimized as part…

Henson, Robin K. – 1999
This paper illustrates how canonical correlation analysis can be employed to implement all the parametric tests that canonical methods subsume as special cases. The point is heuristic: all analyses are correlational, all apply weights to measured variables to create synthetic variables, and all yield effect sizes analogous to "r"…

Schooler, Lael J.; Hertwig, Ralph – Psychological Review, 2005
Some theorists, ranging from W. James (1890) to contemporary psychologists, have argued that forgetting is the key to proper functioning of memory. The authors elaborate on the notion of beneficial forgetting by proposing that loss of information aids inference heuristics that exploit mnemonic information. To this end, the authors bring together 2…

Lancaster, Brian P. – 1999
Suppressor effects are considered one of the most elusive dynamics in the interpretation of statistical data. A suppressor variable has been defined as a predictor that has a zero correlation with the dependent variable while still, paradoxically, contributing to the predictive validity of the test battery (P. Horst, 1941). This paper explores the…

Van Epps, Pamela D. – 1987
This paper discusses the principles underlying discriminant analysis and constructs a simulated data set to illustrate its methods. Discriminant analysis is a multivariate technique for identifying the best combination of variables to maximally discriminate between groups. Discriminant functions are established on existing groups and used to…

Maeshiro, Asatoshi – Journal of Economic Education, 1996
Rectifies the unsatisfactory textbook treatment of the finite-sample proprieties of estimators of regression models with a lagged dependent variable and autocorrelated disturbances. Maintains that the bias of the ordinary least squares estimator is determined by the dynamic and correlation effects. (MJP)
