Online credit recovery will likely expand in the coming years as school districts try to address increased course failure rates brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Some researchers and policymakers, however, raise concerns over how much students learn in online courses, and there is limited evidence about the effectiveness of online credit…

Jordan Rickles; Sarah Peko-Spicer; Iliana Brodziak De Los Reyes; Peggy Clements – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: Over the past decade, schools across the United States increasingly turned to online learning (Gemin, Pape, Vashaw, & Watson, 2015; Queen & Lewis, 2011). While many espouse the promise of online credit recovery (OCR) courses, the abrupt shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic renewed concerns about theses courses'…

Wu, Edward; Gagnon-Bartsch, Johann A. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
In paired experiments, participants are grouped into pairs with similar characteristics, and one observation from each pair is randomly assigned to treatment. The resulting treatment and control groups should be well-balanced; however, there may still be small chance imbalances. Building on work for completely randomized experiments, we propose a…

Bradshaw, Catherine P.; Pas, Elise T.; Debnam, Katrina J.; Johnson, Sarah Lindstrom – Remedial and Special Education, 2021
This study presents findings from a 58 high-school group-randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of training in a multitiered system of supports for behavior (MTSS-B) framework, which was leveraged to reduce students' risk for emotional and behavior disorders. The trial tested the impact of MTSS-B, which included (a) training in the…

Gaspard, Hanna; Parrisius, Cora; Piesch, Heide; Kleinhansl, Markus; Wille, Eike; Nagengast, Benjamin; Trautwein, Ulrich; Hulleman, Chris S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Relevance interventions have shown a great potential to foster motivation and achievement (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016). Yet, further research is warranted to test how such interventions can be successfully implemented in practice. We conducted a cluster-randomized trial in ninth-grade math classrooms to test the effectiveness of a relevance…

Introduction: Youth in disadvantaged urban areas are frequently exposed to chronic stress and trauma, including housing instability, neighborhood violence, and other poverty-related adversities. These exposures increase risk for emotional, behavioral, and academic problems and ultimately, school dropout. Schools are a promising setting in which to…

Uwimpuhwe, Germaine; Singh, Akansha; Higgins, Steve; Coux, Mickael; Xiao, ZhiMin; Shkedy, Ziv; Kasim, Adetayo – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Educational stakeholders are keen to know the magnitude and importance of different interventions. However, the way evidence is communicated to support understanding of the effectiveness of an intervention is controversial. Typically studies in education have used the standardised mean difference as a measure of the impact of interventions. This…
