Robert Meyer; Sara Hu; Michael Christian – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: This paper develops a new method to estimate quasi-experimental evaluation models when it is necessary to control for measurement error in predictors and individual assignment to the treatment group is based on these same fallible variables. A major methodological finding of the study is that standard methods of estimating models that…

Duncan Culbreth; Rebekah Davis; Cigdem Meral; Florence Martin; Weichao Wang; Sejal Foxx – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2025
Monitoring applications (MAs) use digital and online tools to collect and track data on student behavior, and they have become increasingly popular among schools. Empirical research on these complex surveillance platforms is scant, and little is known about the efficacy or impact that they have on students. This study used a multi-method…

Watson, Michael – Phi Delta Kappan, 2020
The move toward assessments that measure student growth, rather than just proficiency, has been perceived as an improvement in state accountability systems. However, Michael Watson explains that, for many students, these measures present an incomplete picture. Because they are based on grade-level assessments, any growth achieved by students who…

Earle, Sarah; Davies, Dan – Education in Science, 2014
Assessment is primarily a matter of judgement rather than measurement, yet for too long the nation has been pretending that pupils' attainment and measurement can be measured in increasingly fine detail (one APS "point" being one sixth of an original National Curriculum level). The lack of validity and reliability of this approach…

Rothman, Robert – Alliance for Excellent Education, 2015
In 2002, the Monroe County, Georgia, school system was, according to its then-superintendent Scott Cowart, "underperforming." Test scores were low, and several schools faced interventions under the new No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). One decade later, the 4,000-student school district in central Georgia is one of the highest-performing…

Lowenthal, Patrick R.; Greear, Krista; Humphrey, Michael; Lowenthal, Alison; Conley, Quincy; Giacumo, Lisa A.; Dunlap, Joanna C. – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2020
Accessibility is a hot topic in online education these days. Despite the increased focus on accessibility, most discussions of creating "accessible" online courses and elearning simply focus on adding alternative text to images and captions to video. In this article, we argue that online educators and workplace learning professionals…

Glowa, Liz – International Association for K-12 Online Learning, 2013
Competency education is student-centric, personalizing student progress so that every child has adequate time and support to reach proficiency every step of the way. Competency education fundamentally changes the way the educational enterprise is organized around student needs, and thus must have a dynamic IT system to support it. Following an…
