Timothy Lycurgus; Ben B. Hansen – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Background: Efficacy trials in education often possess a motivating theory of change: how and why should the desired improvement in outcomes occur as a consequence of the intervention? In scenarios with repeated measurements, certain subgroups may be more or less likely to manifest a treatment effect; the theory of change (TOC) provides guidance…

Robinson, Lauren; Dudensing, Rebekka; Granovsky, Nancy L. – Journal of Extension, 2016
Program evaluation often suffers due to time constraints, imperfect instruments, incomplete data, and the need to report standardized metrics. This article about the evaluation process for the Wi$eUp financial education program showcases the difficulties inherent in evaluation and suggests best practices for assessing program effectiveness. We…

Diakow, Ronli Phyllis – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This dissertation comprises three papers that propose, discuss, and illustrate models to make improved inferences about research questions regarding student achievement in education. Addressing the types of questions common in educational research today requires three different "extensions" to traditional educational assessment: (1)…

Brandt, Lorilynn – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Phonics was identified as one of the critical components in reading development by the National Reading Panel. Over time, research has repeatedly identified phonics as important to early reading development. Given the compelling evidence supporting the teaching of phonics in early reading, it is critical to make sure that instructional decisions…

Wu, Margaret – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2010
In large-scale assessments, such as state-wide testing programs, national sample-based assessments, and international comparative studies, there are many steps involved in the measurement and reporting of student achievement. There are always sources of inaccuracies in each of the steps. It is of interest to identify the source and magnitude of…

Ferrao, Maria – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2010
The Bologna Declaration brought reforms into higher education that imply changes in teaching methods, didactic materials and textbooks, infrastructures and laboratories, etc. Statistics and mathematics are disciplines that traditionally have the worst success rates, particularly in non-mathematics core curricula courses. This research project,…

Reardon, Sean F. – Education and the Public Interest Center, 2009
"How New York City's Charter Schools Affect Achievement" estimates the effects on student achievement of attending a New York City charter school rather than a traditional public school and investigates the characteristics of charter schools associated with the most positive effects on achievement. Because the report relies on an…

Khoo, Siek-Toon; Muthen, Bengt – 1997
The aim of this paper is to explore methods for evaluating the effects of randomized interventions in a longitudinal design. The focus is on methods for modeling the possibly nonlinear relationship between treatment effect and baseline and evaluating the treatment effect taking this nonlinear relationship into account. A control/treatment growth…

Raffeld, Paul; And Others – 1979
The RMC Model A (norm-referenced) for evaluation of Title I programs is based upon the equipercentile assumption--that students maintain their percentile rank over a one-year period, provided that no special instrucional intervention is introduced. The control group, essentially the sample used to standardize the achievement test, represents the…
