The Reciprocal Internal/External Frame of Reference Model: An Integration of Models of Relations between Academic Achievement and Self-Concept
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moller, Jens; Retelsdorf, Jan; Koller, Olaf; Marsh, Herb W. – American Educational Research Journal, 2011
The reciprocal internal/external frame of reference model (RI/EM) combines the internal/external frame of reference model and the reciprocal effects model. The RI/EM predicts positive effects of mathematics and verbal achievement and academic self-concepts (ASC) on subsequent mathematics and verbal achievements and ASCs within domains and negative…

A Validity Argument Approach to Evaluating Teacher Value-Added Scores
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hill, Heather C.; Kapitula, Laura; Umland, Kristin – American Educational Research Journal, 2011
Value-added models have become popular in research and pay-for-performance plans. While scholars have focused attention on some aspects of their validity (e.g., scoring procedures), others have received less scrutiny. This article focuses on the extent to which value-added scores correspond to other indicators of teacher and teaching quality. The…

Moderator Subgroups for the Estimation of Educational Performance: A Comparison of Prediction Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lissitz, Robert W.; Schoenfeldt, Lyle F. – American Educational Research Journal, 1974
The purpose of this study was to compare five predictor models, including two least-square procedures, two probability weighting (semi-Bayesian) methods, and a Bayesian model developed by Lindley. (See also TM 501 088, TM 501 089, and TM 501 090) (Author/NE)

A Multi-Institutional, Path Analytic Validation of Tinto's Model of College Withdrawal.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pascarella, Ernest T.; Chapman, David W. – American Educational Research Journal, 1983
This study extended the knowledge of the explanatory power of Tinto's theoretical model of college persistence/withdrawal through a multi-institutional validation. Path analysis was used to test the model overall and at three different groupings of postsecondary institutions: four-year, predominantly residential; and four-year, and two-year,…

An Assessment of the Construct Validity of the Clark-Trow Typology of College Student Subcultures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Terenzini, Patrick T.; Pascarella, Ernest T. – American Educational Research Journal, 1977
The validity of the constructs underlying the Clark-Trow Typology of College Student Subcultures--academic interests and non-academic interests--are confirmed. However, there are indications that the involvement with ideas dimension does not discriminate satisfactorily among the four student groups. (Author/MV)

Application of a Conceptual Model of College Withdrawal to Disadvantaged Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fox, Richard N. – American Educational Research Journal, 1986
The retention and attrition after the freshman year among economically and academically disadvantaged students admitted through a special program to an urban, primarily non-residential university is investigated. This paper tests the predictive validity of major constructs in Tinto's explanatory model of college student withdrawal. (Author/BS)

Multidimensional Adolescent Self-Concepts: Their Relationship to Age, Sex, and Academic Measures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W.; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1985
The Self Description Questionnaire II (SDQII) results from 901 Australian secondary school students were factor analyzed and the factors correlated to identify the relationship of self-concept factors to age, sex, and academic achievement. Findings supported the multidimensionality of self-concept and support the construct validity of the SDQII.…
