Daffin, Lee William, Jr.; Jones, Ashley A. – Online Learning, 2018
As online education becomes a more popular and permanent option for obtaining an education after high school, it also raises questions as to the academic rigor of such classes and the academic integrity of the students taking the classes. The purpose of the current study is to explore the integrity issue and to investigate student performance on…

Rusticus, Shayna A.; Lovato, Chris Y. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2011
Assessing the comparability of different groups is an issue facing many researchers and evaluators in a variety of settings. Commonly, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is incorrectly used to demonstrate comparability when a non-significant result is found. This is problematic because a failure to find a difference between groups is not…

End, Christian M.; Worthman, Shaye; Mathews, Mary Bridget; Wetterau, Katharina – Teaching of Psychology, 2010
College students participated in a study on the "psychology of note taking" during which they took notes on video content and later completed a multiple-choice test on the material. Researchers assigned 71 participants to either the ringing condition (the video was disrupted by a ringing cell phone) or the control condition (no cell phone rings…

Pfaff, Thomas J.; Weinberg, Aaron – Journal of Statistics Education, 2009
This article describes the design, implementation, and assessment of four hands-on activities in an introductory college statistics course. In the activities, students investigated the ideas of the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Five assessments were administered to the students, one at the beginning and end…

Hall, W. C.; Veale, J. L. – Australian Journal of Education, 1976
It is sometimes assumed that students (a) know which questions they will be best at answering in an examination, and (b) know how well they have performed after completing an examination. These hypotheses were tested for 50 dental students who completed a six-question essay examination in Human Physiology and Pharmacology. (Editor/RK)

Felsenthal, Norman Allan – 1969
One aspect of reference group theory, racial identification, was studied, and the effects of this identification on the acquisition of knowledge and the formation of attitudes were examined. Three hypotheses were investigated: (1) Children who perceive an instructional tape narrator to be a member of their own race will score significantly higher…

Powell, Zen-Hsiu Emily – Educational Technology, 1994
Discussion of computerized adaptive testing focuses on a study of graduate students at Indiana University at Bloomington that examined three kinds of computerized adaptive testing procedures to determine their psychological impact and how they may affect test performance. Previous research is reviewed, and further research is suggested. (28…

Flanigan, Beverly Olson; Inal, Emel – Language Variation and Change, 1996
Tests three hypotheses regarding the use of object relative pronouns by native (NS) and non-native (NNS) speakers of Standard American English: (1) pronoun choice by NNSs differs from that of NSs; (2) "wh", "that," and "zero" are used variably by both groups; and (3) increased exposure to native speaking environments…

Nandakumar, Ratna; Stout, William – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1993
A detailed investigation is provided of Stout's statistical procedure (the computer program DIMTEST) for testing the hypothesis that an essentially unidimensional latent trait model fits observed binary item response data from a psychological test. Three refinements achieve greater power. The revised approach is validated using real data sets.…

Ancker, Jessica S. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2006
Statistical terms are accurate and powerful but can sometimes lead to misleading impressions among beginning students. Discrepancies between the popular and statistical meanings of "conditional" are discussed, and suggestions are made for the use of different vocabulary when teaching beginners in applied introductory courses.

Ascher, Gordon – 1975
The increased use of criterion-referenced statewide testing programs is an outgrowth of the need for more diagnostic information for planning and decision making than is provided by norm-referenced programs. There remains, however, a need for state agencies to compare the results of local districts to a variety of comparison groups for the purpose…

Matthews, Thomas J. – Language Learning Journal, 1996
Reviews several teaching methodologies in terms of negative affect. Findings indicate that in those situations where students have little incentive to do well or admit that they wish to do poorly, increased negative affect can motivate them to function at a level of operational tension and achieve optimum learning and performance. (36 references)…

Williams, Frederick A. – 1969
Following an analysis of work in the area of relationships between concept development and social development, a preliminary research project carried out to examine these relationships is discussed. Piaget's "The Language and Thought of the Child" served as a springboard for the past and present investigations. In the experiment…
