Cawthon, Stephanie W.; Garberoglio, Carrie Lou – Review of Research in Education, 2021
The evidence base for educational interventions for deaf students has been, and continues to be, called into question due to a lack of "gold standard" research available to support it. Yet the paucity of research in deaf education is not only in the volume of research that meets rigorous standards but also in its lack of attention to and…

Stapleton, Lissa; James, Liam – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2020

Neale, Dave – Oxford Review of Education, 2015
Recently, Stephen Gorard has outlined strong objections to the use of significance testing in social research.

Fendler, Lynn – Ethics and Education, 2016
In educational research that calls itself empirical, the relationship between validity and reliability is that of trade-off: the stronger the bases for validity, the weaker the bases for reliability (and vice versa).

Marsh, Herbert W.; Ludtke, Oliver; Nagengast, Benjamin; Trautwein, Ulrich; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Abduljabbar, Adel S.; Koller, Olaf – Educational Psychologist, 2012
Classroom context and climate are inherently classroom-level (L2) constructs, but applied researchers sometimes--inappropriately--represent them by student-level (L1) responses in single-level models rather than more appropriate multilevel models. Here we focus on important conceptual issues (distinctions between climate and contextual variables;…
