George Leckie; Richard Parker; Harvey Goldstein; Kate Tilling – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
School value-added models are widely applied to study, monitor, and hold schools to account for school differences in student learning. The traditional model is a mixed-effects linear regression of student current achievement on student prior achievement, background characteristics, and a school random intercept effect. The latter is referred to…

Calderon, Angel – Journal of Studies in International Education, 2023
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have long embraced a path towards sustainability and engaged in supporting sustainable development. The adoption of the sustainability development goals has forced HEIs to assess how they engage with these goals and how they address societal challenges head on. However, the emergence of sustainability rankings…

Lu, Binwei – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2023
This study compares the estimated grammar school effect in different regression models, and explains why previous evidence of the effectiveness of grammar school is mixed. Like most studies of school effectiveness evaluation, previous research on grammar school effect usually applies regression to control for confounding between-school factors and…

Bokhove, Christian; Jerrim, John; Sims, Sam – Journal of School Choice, 2023
School inspections are a key component of the accountability system in many education systems, including England. The judgments and reports produced through these inspections are widely used by parents when they are choosing a school for their children. But should they be? This paper presents new evidence on this issue. We illustrate how parents…

Pastore, Serafina; Manuti, Amelia; Scardigno, Anna Fausta – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2022
Despite the strong criticisms, mass student surveys play an important role in the quality assurance process of national higher education systems. While some national higher education systems have a long history of using student surveys to inform teaching and course quality improvement (e.g. the UK, Australia), in Italy, where the quality assurance…

Papadimitriou, Maria; Johnes, Jill – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
This paper focuses on the effect of merger on university efficiency. In a first stage analysis, efficiency scores of English universities are derived for a 17-year period using the frontier estimation method data envelopment analysis. A second stage analysis explores the effect of merger and other factors on efficiency. We find that mean…

Zinkovsky, K. V.; Derkachev, P. V. – Russian Education & Society, 2018
We investigate the main question of whether higher education institutions are able to increase their performance due to mergers, takeovers, or organizational restructuring. The problem of measuring performance when there are several "output" and "input" indicators can currently be solved by recourse to a proven data analysis…

Tadesse, Tefera; Manathunga, Catherine; Gillies, Robyn M. – Asian Journal of University Education, 2020
There is a growing interest among higher education (HE) researchers regarding the relevance of measuring quality via the perceptions and experiences of teachers and students. However, relatively few studies have examined more broadly the pedagogical practices and student learning experiences in HE. In addition, there is minimal study that compared…
