Brunner, Martin; Keller, Lena; Stallasch, Sophie E.; Kretschmann, Julia; Hasl, Andrea; Preckel, Franzis; Lüdtke, Oliver; Hedges, Larry V. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Descriptive analyses of socially important or theoretically interesting phenomena and trends are a vital component of research in the behavioral, social, economic, and health sciences. Such analyses yield reliable results when using representative individual participant data (IPD) from studies with complex survey designs, including educational…

Lohmann, Julian F.; Zitzmann, Steffen; Voelkle, Manuel C.; Hecht, Martin – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2022
One major challenge of longitudinal data analysis is to find an appropriate statistical model that corresponds to the theory of change and the research questions at hand. In the present article, we argue that "continuous-time models" are well suited to study the continuously developing constructs of primary interest in the education…

Abulela, Mohammed A. A.; Harwell, Michael M. – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2020
Data analysis is a significant methodological component when conducting quantitative education studies. Guidelines for conducting data analyses in quantitative education studies are common but often underemphasize four important methodological components impacting the validity of inferences: quality of constructed measures, proper handling of…

Bulut, Okan; Yavuz, Hatice Cigdem – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019
Educational data mining (EDM) has been a rapidly growing research field over the last decade and enabled researchers to discover patterns and trends in education with more sophisticated methods. EDM offers promising solutions to complex educational problems. Given the rapid increase in the availability of big data in education and software…

Gillis, Shelley; Polesel, John; Wu, Margaret – Australian Educational Researcher, 2016
This article considers the role played by policy makers, government organisations, and research institutes (sometimes labelled "think tanks") in the analysis, use and reporting of PISA data for the purposes of policy advice and advocacy. It draws on the ideas of Rizvi and Lingard (Globalizing Education Policy, 2010), Bogdandy and…

Dronkers, Jaap; van der Velden, Rolf; Dunne, Allison – European Educational Research Journal, 2012
The main research question of this article is concerned with the combined estimation of the effects of educational systems, school composition, track level, and country of origin on the educational achievement of 15-year-old migrant students. The authors focus specifically on the effects of socioeconomic and ethnic background on achievement scores…

Taht, Karin; Must, Olev – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2013
We estimated the invariance of educational achievement (EA) and learning attitudes (LA) measures across nations. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was used to estimate the invariance of educational achievement and learning attitudes across 55 nations (Programme for International Student Assessment [PISA] 2006 data, N = 354,203). The…

Seaton, Marjorie; Marsh, Herbert W.; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing; Craven, Rhonda – Australian Journal of Education, 2011
Big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) research has demonstrated that academic self-concept is negatively affected by attending high-ability schools. This article examines data from large, representative samples of 15-year-olds from each Australian state, based on the three Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) databases that focus on…

Wu, Margaret – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2005
In large-scale assessment programs such as NAEP, TIMSS and PISA, students' achievement data sets provided for secondary analysts contain so-called "plausible values." Plausible values are multiple imputations of the unobservable latent achievement for each student. In this article it has been shown how plausible values are used to: (1)…

Ferrer, Ferran; Ferrer, Gerard; Baldellou, Jose Luis Castel – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2006
This article discusses educational inequalities within the territorial context of Spain, and more particularly in the autonomous community of Catalonia. The analysis, which takes a comparative international approach, looks at the question from two points of view. First, from the angle of students, an analysis is made of the impact produced by…
