Kane Meissel; Esther S. Yao – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2024
Effect sizes are important because they are an accessible way to indicate the practical importance of observed associations or differences. Standardized mean difference (SMD) effect sizes, such as Cohen's d, are widely used in education and the social sciences -- in part because they are relatively easy to calculate. However, SMD effect sizes…

Reck, Rebecca M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
Course objectives, like research objectives and product requirements, help provide clarity and direction for faculty and students. Unfortunately, course and laboratory objectives are not always clearly stated. Without a clear set of objectives, it can be hard to design a learning experience and determine whether students are achieving the intended…

Kalkan, Ömür Kaya; Kelecioglu, Hülya – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2016
Linear factor analysis models used to examine constructs underlying the responses are not very suitable for dichotomous or polytomous response formats. The associated problems cannot be eliminated by polychoric or tetrachoric correlations in place of the Pearson correlation. Therefore, we considered parameters obtained from the NOHARM and FACTOR…

Strang, Kenneth David – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2013
Extant literature asserted that peer assessments improved learning but only a few studies had addressed the student rating consistency issue and had not evaluated this within a Learning Management System (LMS). The researcher explored how to conduct peer assessments in Moodle LMS for a hybrid-mode business course (N = 90 students) which required…

van Abswoude, Alexandra A. H.; van der Ark, L. Andries; Sijtsma, Klaas – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2004
In this article, an overview of nonparametric item response theory methods for determining the dimensionality of item response data is provided. Four methods were considered: MSP, DETECT, HCA/CCPROX, and DIMTEST. First, the methods were compared theoretically. Second, a simulation study was done to compare the effectiveness of MSP, DETECT, and…

Cohen, Jacob; Lee, Robert S. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
STATGRAPHICS, a statistical package written for the IBM PC/XT/AT, is reviewed. In addition to superb graphics, STATGRAPHICS is unequalled in time series procedures, quality control, linear programming, and other mathematical procedures. The modules for regression analysis, categorical data analysis, and nonparametric analysis are good, but contain…
