Background and Context: In 2016, our team designed and implemented a cluster-randomized trial of a school-based empowerment training program, targeting adolescent girls in Nairobi, Kenya (Baiocchi et al., 2019; Rosenman et al., 2020). In that study, the primary outcome was the experience of sexual violence in the prior year. Participants disclosed…

Abulela, Mohammed A. A.; Rios, Joseph A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2022
When there are no personal consequences associated with test performance for examinees, rapid guessing (RG) is a concern and can differ between subgroups. To date, the impact of differential RG on item-level measurement invariance has received minimal attention. To that end, a simulation study was conducted to examine the robustness of the…

Zumrawi, Abdel Azim; Bates, Simon P.; Schroeder, Marianne – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2014
This paper addresses the determination of statistically desirable response rates in students' surveys, with emphasis on assessing the effect of underlying variability in the student evaluation of teaching (SET). We discuss factors affecting the determination of adequate response rates and highlight challenges caused by non-response and lack of…

Gardner, John – Oxford Review of Education, 2013
Evidence from recent research suggests that in the UK the public perception of errors in national examinations is that they are simply mistakes; events that are preventable. This perception predominates over the more sophisticated technical view that errors arise from many sources and create an inevitable variability in assessment outcomes. The…

The current main world university rankings broadly group the leading research universities of nations. Australia's Go8 universities are generally within the top 250 ranked universities, with several institutions in the top 50-100 on some measures. This recognition is commendable, however imperfect the individual rankings may be. Use is made of…

Murphy, Richard; Weinhardt, Felix – Centre for Economic Performance, 2013
We find an individual's rank within their reference group has effects on later objective outcomes. To evaluate the impact of local rank, we use a large administrative dataset tracking over two million students in England from primary through to secondary school. Academic rank within primary school has sizable, robust and significant effects on…

Gorard, Stephen – British Educational Research Journal, 2010
This paper considers the model of school effectiveness (SE) currently dominant in research, policy and practice in England (although the concerns it raises are international). It shows, principally through consideration of initial and propagated error, that SE results cannot be relied upon. By considering the residual difference between the…

The main purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) from a sample of university teachers' and students' view. The study adopts exploratory descriptive design. Participants of this research were 300 teachers and 600 graduate students from 3 Iranian higher education institutions. A 30-item format…

Morrisson, Christian; Murtin, Fabrice – Centre for the Economics of Education (NJ1), 2009
Global economic transformations have never been as dramatic as in the twentieth century. Most countries have experienced radical changes in the standards of income per capita, technology, fertility, mortality, income inequality and the extent of democracy in the course of the past century. It is the goal of many disciplines--economics, history,…
